Not as a coping mechanism but don't deny it all the way, practice nofap, not for destroying the need to masturbate but to use sexuality moderately in your life. I could never talk to women, not even honestly about how I felt watching porn a lot and it stunted me as a person, but getting into a relationship with a girl, I realized too that denying sexuality completely isn't healthy either cause I was not respectful with her needs before mine, I learned the hard way you need a healthy balance. Go work out when you need to cope or do something that keeps you active, give everything a try to before masturbation
It’s fine as long as it does not become a thing you MUST do, when you recognise it’s getting to be an addiction then cut back on it.
find yourself doing it in local supermarket, you likely have problems.
What is the difference between a stress reliever and a release? Are you doing it too often in your opinion? 20 times a week would be overkill. And why are you so stressed? That might be the base question...
yes doing it too often when i’m not even that horny
OK. That is a problem. Like eating when not hungry. Indicates addiction. Talk to a therapist. This doesn't seem to be about sex, but about what you're stressed about. Using sex to blot out the stress. Call your primary care person for suggestions. Get a male therapist who'll have a bit more insight on male issues.
Only if you're prone to addiction. The last few months have been rough for me and I have done it as an escape.

What's Your Opinion? Sign Up Now!I'm off the opinion that masturbation is wrong... not from a moral standpoint, but that it's just destructive to the person who does it. Get a partner and have sex, find other ways to deal with stress. There's nothing wrong with not getting a release when you're horny, in fact it's very natural.
Doing anything too much can be a bad thing. Masturbating a normal amount is fine but like multiple times a day or something is way to much.
Well I'm almost 37 and my hormones are goofy now so when I wna do it, I really wna do it! But unfortunately my husband sometimes likes to make love to his Miller Lite also 🙄 ... so I gta do it myself. I could go find a John and cheat on him just to get myself off but that's another headache in itself.
If it works , why not..
It’s much much better than using someone
I don’t think so
Any habit can turn into an unhealthy habit. Where that line is for you is something you'll have to figure out for yourself.
We all do this. It is good for your prostate and, as you know, for stress relief.
It can get addictive
I tend to do it once a day, sometimes I miss a day, other days I do it twice. Before bed is most common as it helps me sleep but I do it at other times sometimes too
Jackie, there are two rules of life to remember.
1. Never sweat the small stuff
2. It's all small stuff

hey you 😘😂
I love that movie. LOL Rule number 3. "Life is what you do while you're waiting to die." With what's happening between Russia and Ukraine, this might come sooner than later. Oh, well, it was fun while it lasted. :)
