Am I masturbating to much

Hi,
Everyday when I wake up I can’t help but go onto my computer and look at some form of porn.
I love the feeling I get while playing with myself, but try not to cum.
I can spend hours imagining about different things I can do and play out.
The feeling I get while I touch myself is awesome, and I can’t help but keep going because it’s so relaxing!
Do you find this normal?!

Absolutely ! I sit down with my first cup of coffee. Turn on the television, and start fondling myself. My favorite spot is the Perineum. I keep myself shaved smooth down there. So everything feels extra sensitive. Not allowing myself to ejaculate, just drives me wild. Hey: Whatever tickles your fancy. It’s All Good

There is no such thing as masturbating too much unless it starts getting in the way of your daily life. Like work or school neglect, failing tasks, no productivity nor growth.
Addiction could be anything that gets in the way of our daily functions and tasks.

Hope this helped!

Thanks, I still keep up with what I need
To do… just feel guilty that it’s getting out of hand… no pun intended

Ha, I love a good pun :slight_smile:

Yeah, agree with @tallasianchick, as long as your masturbation isn’t keeping you from doing things like your job or basic self care, or if you can’t start your day at all without doing and it’s become an obsessive habit, then you’re good!

And also agree that there isn’t such a thing as too much (or too little) masturbation. Everyone is different and has a preference! And honestly, I know a lot of folks don’t think of it this way, but regular masturbation, especially if you are stressed, is a great form of self care. Masturbation helps you get in touch with your body and its needs, usually helps make you feel good both physically and mentally. It’s a great self care tool!

I love a thread bump when it’s a great topic (and reminder) like this, so all good!

bumping this thread cos i need to say out loud, i just love it SO much. i mean, sex with my partner is awesome, but somehow at the moment masturbation is just so important and so often. i feel good about it, generally but have that niggling ‘am i doing this too much?’ thought. would love to hear what others think…

As long as it’s not interfering with your life (ie: you are missing work or personal obligations, spending more money than you can afford on toys/porn/etc), then it’s not too much, IMO. Everyone has a different need and drive. As long as you aren’t physically hurting yourself doing it too much and have healthy boundaries in your life so it isn’t taking it over, I say enjoy!

First of all, I don’t think I’ve ever known a guy who could choose to not ejaculate! And as a woman, I can’t imagine NOT trying to cum! Every man I’ve ever been with was insistent on making me cum. It’s actually hard for me to cum without having a guy in me. And that’s really been a problem for me. I haven’t had sex in 25 years. I got divorced in late 1997 and didn’t date over the next 3 years. Just didn’t meet anyone. But in early 2000 I got sick with a lung disease and did well to keep breathing at all. By 2004 I was put on O2, and shortly there after I developed adult onset asthma. In 2016 I was diagnosed with T2 diabetes, and just this past Thursday, I was diagnosed with cirrhosis of the liver. I’m 22 years in with the original lung disease, and there is still not a diagnosis. I’m constantly connected to a concentrator with a 50’ O2 hose at home. I’m beginning to think that I’ll never have sex again! I hope that’s not true, I mean, I’m only 59. I’m not looking for any sympathy, but I would love to hope that I can encourage others to be grateful for what they have. I guess we make decisions on our circumstances. I just hope we make good ones!

For sure never too late! The New York Times just did a really great piece about sex after 70, with stunning photos by artist Marilyn Minter too. And there are so many toys and devices now that make solo sex even easier than before, and the internet makes it so much easier to find partners as well (although finding someone that clicks can always be tough!)

Edging, or getting someone to the brink of orgasm then stopping, has become a lot more popular recently. Not for everyone, but a lot of folks love it and it prolongs play too.
