I am a seventeen-year-old male who is very very active, spending most of my days when not in school learning either running track for my high school, biking miles on end, and walking wherever. I read all of the time, game, work at Hardees, and write stories. even after doing all of this and being active in many interests from clubs to family time and being healthy physically and as a member of the community, I still somehow find the time to masturbate anywhere from one to three or four times a day. It doesn't seem to affect my health and I only do it when I cant control my erection or when I'm bored and have nothing to do so it doesn't affect my daily life. I'm still worried that I do it too often and may even be addicted to masturbating since I do it basically as apart of my routine since my schedule runs the same every day. If my schedule changes then I cut that out first before anything else so again it is not like it is affecting my daily life but it still worries me. This has been going since I started when I was 14 and I don't always use porn. Is it normal and okay for me to continue as I have been doing? P.S. I've never had sex because I'm waiting until I am older so this helps relieve stress and to suppress my sexual urges and frustrations.
Hey there so I do not think you addicted... one of the main points of addiction is it has to inturrupt or interfere with your daily life which yours clearly does not. Most guys masturbate once per day and many several times per day. Especially at your age it's due to increasing hormones and sexual urges which are normal .... when did you start puberty? As long as the masturbation is not disrupting your normal every day life and is not causing any pain or damage to your penis or testicles then you should be fine. I also think it's great that you are waiting to have sex... it requires a LOT or responsibility and carries LOTS OF RISKS....
