DoubleM agony auntWell guys are plumbed a little differently "HonningKanin." : ) And even we are individual, but I think it would be a challenge to generate more than about two cum squirts a day for most men, based on my experience. Yet, it's been quite a long time since I was 15-years-old.

HonningKanin agony auntOh DoubleM :)

When I was 15 it was 3 to 4 times a day. It still can be from time to time maybe more if the husband is away on a trip. Haha.

DoubleM agony auntNot at all a bad thing, even babies have been noted with the tendency. While it is a perfectly natural way to relieve tension, one should avoid obsession. As "HonningKanin" suggested, too much of one thing can be bad. If practiced to extreme, it may conceivably affect subsequent sexual activities with a partner.

What would be considered a "normal" amount? Well it would vary according to individuals, and sometimes people go through cycles when we are simply more "turned on" for a few days. Generally, in my opinion, for an otherwise sexually inactive 15-year-old, three or four times per week.

if it interferes with your daily life, or cause a problem, then its too much. until then its no problem and no health issue. wash afterwards and dry up well. use lubricant if you have had a circumcision.

HonningKanin agony auntMasterbating is not a bad thing. Its a very natrual and healthy activity. But like anything in this world, too much of one thing can be bad. By that I mean if it start to take control of your life and you replace that instead of getting a partner or you ignore you partners desires to just go into a corner and knock one off. That would be bad. Everything has a balance.

As for health issue, its pretty much reccommended by physicians that you do masturbate. It relieves stress which in turn helps in other things in life. The orgasm itself is a natural pain reliever and muscle relaxent due to all the chemicals released and also works out those particular glands to minimize the risk of prostate cancer.

Its also good just to know how you liked to be touched as well. This around the time in your life when you are exploring your own body trying to figure out what feels good and what does not. This will help when you eventually get a partner and you can tell them.

Overall dont worry about doing it "too much" when you are not in a relationship and when your social life is perfectly normal.

Yes, you'll go blind and get hairy palms. Not really. No, masturbating is not a bad thing--everyone does it.
