I am a 17 year old male and I was wondering how often I should masturbate. I am going to be honest I masturbate once every day and sometimes twice a day. Is that too much? Am I puting too much stress on my body or something? I have seen a lot of different opinions on this but I can’t find a solid answer.

Hi Guest,

You can masturbate as often as you like.  You're always making sperm and semen so it won't hurt your body - but...

Frequent masturbation can train your body to ejaculate fast - as in suffer from premature ejaculation (PE).

Use your masturabation sessions to learn control of your orgasm.  Focus on the feelings just before you orgasm and bring yourself to that point and stop.  It's called "edging."  Let the feeling subside and then masturbate to that point and stop again.  Do this as often as you can.  You should be able to do this for hours.

It will help prevent PE later on.  It will also give you a better orgasm when you finally do decide to ejaculate.

Hope it helps.

It is a good point about PE. I masturbated so frequently when I was 17 that I would only produce a small drop of fluid each orgasm. I was very worried about it affecting my development and fertility.

I was still a virgin when I married and I get so excited when we make love that I cum quite quickly. We tried to find a treatment, experimented with squeezing below the glans etc. but the best way for me to get control is by doing her more often.

My ejaculation has recovered and is at least a tablespoon with over a billion active sperm (I had to get a test) so overworking when young didn't seem to result in a problem there.

But it might affect PE. The training for better control of when you let your orgasm climax would be worthwhile.

Masturbating once or twice a day is perfectly normal... It really should not be the number of times you masturbate but the quality of your masturbation session. You should be taking your time, not only enjoying your penis but enjoying the feelings that is happening in your whole body.  Masturbation will not stress out your body, It is natural for your body to tense up right before you orgasm  - ejaculate.. Enjoy your masturbation sessions

Masturbate as much as you want to why not I do. I have been masturbating every day for over 50 years now some days I will masturbate 2-3 times a day. Though my normal is once a day.
I enjoy masturbating every day I love to masturbate I am going to after I post this I am leaking pre cum!

I agree that you shouldn’t worry about stressing your body out too much. Male teenagers often think that there a secret wishes and desires for masturbation says something about their character or values. I think the reality is all teenage boys need to spend a certain amount of time every day or every other day giving themselves sexual pleasure In order to keep their hormones and brain chemistry balanced. It’s not just the orgasm it’s the amount of time your penis feels good, that pleasure releases endorphins and other chemicals that is good for your growth and development. The reason you find yourself needing to touch yourself so often as your brain needs the chemical re-balancing. So as some of the other men in this thread said, enjoy your penis
