In all the the questions on the internet that i've been reading the women have been saying they do it once a day and these are the ones who think THEY d it too much. what does that make me? It's pretty embarassing to admit this but i do it LOT more than that. I'd say averagely i do it 2-3 times a day but on a bad day it'll be as many times as 6. Of course this would be fine except I'm a little worried about the side-affects of this. I mean, it can't be good for my vagina- It gets sore so sometimes i'll leave it a couple of days at the most to recover but that's all i can leave it for. And surely I'll get arthuritus in my fingers when I'm older. I'll make pacts with myself where i decide i won't do it for a week to give myself a proper rest but i cant seem to manage even that. Is it possible I'm addicted? Because I'm starting to worry i may have a problem or something?I don't even do it porn- it's usually over made up fantasy's in my head.Any advice is very much appreciated.

 I really don't see a big problem with it. How long do you spend doing it each time?

reader, anonymous, writes (16 October 2010): This is verified as being by the original poster of the questionThank you so much for the information and advice. Since i wrote this question i've been making an active effort to cut down as it was becoming excessive and sore. I've been trying twice a day, sometimes once, every other day and i'm going to try and take it up to every three days instead. I think this should be managable. Clearly i have a very high sex but i could tell i was becoming addicted to the orgasm-sensation.
Someone mentioned i should focus on my clit rather than my actual vagina which i actually already do. I don't use any sex toys and the only thing which seems to bring me to orgasm in rubbing my clit (which can take its toll after a while).
Once again, i'm vey grateful for all of tis advice. Thanks :)

Its natural and nothing wrong with it. Leave your vagina alone and focus on your clit (at the top)

 It's not usually a problem unless it's interfering with other aspects of your life. Though 2-3 times a day sounds like it could be taking up a disproportionate amount of your life. Have you tried taking up hobbies? I mean there aren't any health problems from over masturbation (well tendonitis maybe), but once you hit the more than once a day every day mark, it's probably a little excessive and you might want to consider scaling it back.

Contrary to what a lot of people seem to think about sex and the body, we do NOT become more worn out with use like a car. Actually, the contrary is true. You are more likely to get arthritis or something from NOT using your body.
Take up a hobby or get involved in a group or something to take your mind off of sex a little. Not that masturbation is bad, but there are so many other things in life to enjoy and experience. Moderation is key.

 I don't think it's too much. I know that in the past I would regularly masturbate a couple of times a day. I have a very high sex drive, as it sounds like you do too. You do have a couple of warning signs though. Masturbating to the point of being sore is not good. This points to a compulsive behavior rather than just seeking pleasure or a release. The other thing is this bargaining behavior you're trying to make with yourself. Instead of making deals, set goals. Make the goals attainable but something that will still be a challenge. An example: Instead of saying "no masturbation for a week" say something like "only once a day this week." Choose your time and make it count. This will reduce the overall amount you're doing it while still allowing for an activity you like.
A couple of side notes. This activity probably won't give you arthritis, so I wouldn't worry about that. It also isn't likely to be bad for your vagina as long as you avoid taking it to the extremes you've described.
Work on cutting back a little, but I wouldn't say you have a problem. Usually masturbation is a behavioral habit and isn't as necessary as we may think or feel. If you can alter your habits, this will likely get better.

There are hormones released in your brain during masturbation which gives you the pleasure factor. I don't think it is a great idea to have an increased amount of hormones in your body.
So stop overdoing it and if you are using any tool that hurts your vagina throw it away. Stop getting addicted. Break the cycle.
