BigBen - There is no average. And about becoming sex-obsessed, the reality is quite the opposite. Rather than becoming obsessed, relieving those urges will allow you to not think about it quite so much.
5 times a day is plenty for you. Once a week is great for me. We're two different people. There's nothing wrong with either.
As to hearing that it's not healthy, that's a recent scam. There are websites claiming that 'over-masturbation' can have dire consequences and the only way to prevent those consequences is to use their product. It's snake oil for the new millenium.
Poppinjay - If you're masturbating to the point where you don't want sex with your partner, that's not as healthy. But you can masturbate regularly and still have a healthy sex life; what if I want it twice a day and she wants it once every two days? Why should I keep holding onto that sexual energy when I have a perfectly valid way to release it?
Hell, some people even include their partners in the act.
