How much is too much? (Masturbation)
 

I've got to wonder if jerking off all the time kills my sex drive... I just don't seem to have that hunting instinct when I'm out at bars and other places. I'd have to say I whack it a lot, at least once or twice a day.

Anyone else run into this same problem? I'd say it's kind of a catch 22, because if I quit masturbating and did hook up with someone, I'd probably last about 30 seconds due to the fact I'd be so ready to go at it.

Being a girl I don't quite fathom what's going on underneath a man's waistband, but I DO know that when Martel masturbates regularly he's not as eager to have sex. I mean, he'll totally have sex, and it'll be fine, but he's not got the A game going, ya know? I say the easiest way to tell would be not masturbate for a few days before going out on the town, and see if that makes a difference.

Like what Sage said, if I'm masturbating a lot (a lot being 2-3 times a day) then I don't have the same lust for.. um.. life that I do otherwise.

If you think that you might be masturbating too much then you probably are, or at least might benefit from easing it off a bit just to see.

it also depends on the person. Given the time/space :) I can do 3-4 times a day. Not all the time, but every once and a while. Is this the norm for me? No way! Sometimes I go a week or so without doing anything.

Here is a little bit of advice: When it hurts, stop.

Thats pretty much all you have to worry about.

Two times a day, eh... maybe too much, maybe not. I'm on a streak of 2 times a day for about a month, plus sex 4 times a week. All I know is I still want sex, and even more. I just last about 400 times longer if it's twice a day, 100 times longer if it's once a day. Maybe I'm too busy with it?

I recently took a stint off from masturbating (about four days), and I certainly became more aggressive. Normally I'm pretty passive, and I can blow it with women by not being assertive enough. Likewise, my sex drive is not particularly strong, so I don't pursue women with the same fervor that some of my friends do. I'm more in to relationship building...

Anyway, I figured this would be a good way to make myself more aggressive, and boy was it. But I wasn't just more sexually aggressive, I was more aggressive in general. I felt extremely veral (sp?), extremely masculine, extremely potent. It wound up being a little overwhelming to the woman I was courting, and I think I blew it.

The moral of the story is, as with anything else, moderation is the key.

I think I've gotten a little inspiration here. I'm going to give it up for a few days and see what happens. Maybe I'll start tomorrow....

masturbation is a pretty normal thing. i suppose if you aren't sexually active with an individual, it wouldn't do you much harm. masturbation is quite healthy from what i hear no matter how often. if you do stop for a little while though, it will enhance the feeling :P
if you are sexually active with someone and you want it to last longer, but can't seem to cut the habit.. maybe you can try to give that "desire" to the person you're sleeping with...? who knows. i hope i helped in one way or another : /

Too much? Hmm... Let's see...

Remember that song, "Cuz I Got High", just replace the words "Cuz I Got High" with "Cuz I Whacked Off". If this sounds like someone you know, then they might have a problem :)

When you're going blind and start growing hair on your hand

Anyone know where that reference is from?

If you're in your late teens or early 20s, laying off for a couple of days will definitely make you itchy, a lot more interested, and maybe (not necessarily, if you know what you're doing) faster to come.

But when I was that age, masturbating once a day didn't cut down my sex drive in any meaningful way. Though I did myself every morning, I was more than ready to do somebody else in the evening. Like somebody else said, I lasted a little longer. That was it.

Everyone's sex drive is different, but I think that if you cut it back to once a day _consistently_ you'll be horny enough. And if you consistently do it in the morning, you'll be consistently more intense by evening.

As for what is _absolutely_ too much masturbation -- when you start rubbing raw spots on your member. I once dated a woman whose ex had a _really_ strong sex drive -- and a career in the Navy on nuclear submarines. Underwater for months at a time. She said he'd jerked it so much he'd had to have skin grafts.

imho, the upper bound is when it starts to hurt. I used to all the time, once a day at least, sometimes several times a day, sometimes back to back. Currently I have a prostate infection and jerking hurts like a bitch, so I’ve had to 'control' the urge.

i think thats on weird al's next album...:lol:

If your dick doesn't fall off, then it's all bueno baby!

I dont think the amount of wanking you're doing would affect you desire to hunt down a lady.

Have you been hurt recently? Just not interested in women anymore?

ok, the second point was a joke.

No, really.

I masturbate daily. I have no desire for women anymore. When I take a day off, I want women again.

Well, I made it about 3 days, and I have to say that after the first day I did notice a change in my craving for women. I also noticed when I did finally cave in, it seemed like I shot out nearly enough to make up for the time that I missed. I'd say that if I was ever going to see far I could ejaculate, I'd take a few days off first.

I find i get agitated very easily when I dont for a couple of days. The urge definately doesnt go away, it gets worse. I just feel like im on it all the time. I think the time to stop is when your doing it just for the sake of it because you feel you have to, like any addiction.

The point about stopping when it hurts also shouldn't be ignored!

If you start to go blind you might be jerking off too much:cool: :cool: :cool:

I'm not going blind, but I have very thick glasses:lol: :D

Wow..this is.....interesting. 3-4 times a day?? Really? My arms would fall off:lol:

Stop when it chafes ;)

...or not ...:thumbsup:
