Can you get addicted to masturbating?

Im worried Im becoming reliant on it, I'll say to myself that I want to cut back on it to lkke 1 or 2 times a day but always get horny and do it. Is doing it 3/4 a day good or bad or just unhealthy?

  • Excessive masturbation is the prime cause of depression and other issues in young adults. You can become your own problem via it.

    Maybe put your hands and self to better use by going into the gym or getting a physical hobby to occupy yourself and work off that excess energy.

  • you mean you masturbate once and cum 4 times? or you cum 16 times a day?

  • If it feels good then who cares , You are you doing so you are at your peak with wild hormones , so enjoy it , eventually as you get older it will die down somewhat lol

    • so long as it does not control your life. to were you can't think about anything else. during the time your awake you should be fine.
    • otherwise you might need to find a partner to help control your urges. or a sex addicts group/therapist to talk things over with.
  • Actually the answer to your question is a resounding yes that is why such a thing as sex anominous does exist. Of course it's not limited to just masturbation but also to sex itself

  • It can be an addiction. Any chance you use a vibrator, dildo or your hands?

  • Sex and masturbating can become addictive behaviour yeah, but there are ways to cut back on it

  • Yeah you can get addicts, just like other things.
    When masturbating you release dopamine. Which to make a long story short, is the reason for addictions in a biological sense.

  • If it turns you on and you're not causing anybody else any problems I say go for it but yes you can get addicted to just about anything I believe even the time you go to the bathroom everyday and if you don't like the time you can adjust that if you work on it most of what we do is habits

  • No, because it's a natural hunger or desire that everyone has, but not everyone embraces.

  • If it feels good to do it, some girls pussy lips are always swelled and clits swelled until they masturbate, they jack their pussy off, and then they feel better afterward.

  • Yes, some here got that problem

  • Does it affect your day to day life. Like taking care of yourself, going to work and so on.

    If nothing is really affected by it. Then I see nothing wrong with it.

    It's a problem when you stop being with friends, work and who knows what else.

    You blow them off to rub one out. Then you got a problem

  • I suppose, it’s never did anything for me.

  • I am actually addicted to it

    • How are you addicted to it?

  • It's one of the most healthful things you can do but in ordert to speak with greater authority o it, I would ri watch a video file. I can then give it a thorough analysis but the sooner you get me that vid, the healthier you'll be

  • You most certainly can yes. It's not necessarily unhealthy though

  • People can get addicted to almost anything that they find pleasurable.
    Repeated overstimulation can, eventually, numb the senses. The same thing happens when drug addicts need more and more drug to get the same "high" or whatever feeling. Best to save some of that fun for that "right partner".

  • Definitely. Happens to guys more though I guess

  • As long as it doesn't effect other parts of your life then you should be fine. Have fun.
