Is masturbating twice a day an addiction?

I shared with my long distance boyfriend that I masturbate 2 times a day. He said it's an addiction :(

  • Nope. If you’re deciding to masturbate instead of working, or sleeping etc. that would be an addiction. Everyone knows that males masturbate and it’s quite well known that they do it often. But because we have a stupid society that thinks girls don’t or shouldn’t have the same sexual freedoms as men women don’t discuss how often they masturbate or how much. In addition they are made to feel bad if they do. The truth is women masturbate just as much as men do. If you don’t believe me, then think about the millions of videos out there of girls masturbating. The thousands of chaturbate channels of girls masturbating. Someone might argue that they are getting paid for this or that there’s a market for masturbation vids. But now think about the sex toy industry. I would say that 80% are marketed to women. The majority of which are for women. If women didn’t masturbate then there wouldn’t be such a huge demand for dildos.
    So you masturbate as much and for as long as you want. And more importantly, don’t let anyone, ESPECIALLY your boyfriend, tell you or make you feel shame for something that you do to your body that feels good and doesn’t hurt anyone.
    Feel free to PM me if you need more words of encouragement. 😊

    • Nice job. I told her almost the same thing. Sad that women are put in that box. I found out early when I was in my 20's and my girlfriend's told me about their masturbation activities. Had it not been for them, I would still be wallowing in that same stupidity you describe

    • Just because a man gets a woman off doesn't mean she's satisfied. They still have that urge to get their clit off as well.

    • @boombastik that goes without saying. I usually stop when she is satisfied. Generally that’s after several orgasms and a few hours.

  • No, addiction is when you're doing it constantly throughout a day and can't focus on anything else. Twice a day is quite normal, especially when you're young. In my teenage years I would get so horny I would masturbate several times a day regularly, the most I ever reached was probably five times in a day which believe you me is actually pretty annoying when you're feeling THAT wound up. Thankfully since entering my 20s and going on the contraceptive I've calmed down but even during my peak days I wouldn't call it an addiction, its just your hormones. If it ever gets to a point where it stops you from doing anything else throughout a day you should start to question it.

    • Sounds like your boyfriends jealous of your high sex drive

  • it’s not an addiction. as someone with an insanely high sex drive, i masturbate twice a day as well. sometimes in one sitting, i can orgasm 2-3 times. even on days that i have sex/blowjobs, i still have the need to masturbate before going to bed. masturbation is a connection between yourself and your body - it’s simply enjoying the pleasure that your body gives you.
    as long as masturbation doesn’t affect your daily routine, it’s certainly not an addiction.
    an addiction would affect your day to day functioning. wanting to pleasure yourself is the most normal thing in the world - we all chase after worldly and physical pleasure.
    just explore your body and enjoy every sensation that masturbation brings you!
    don’t worry too much about it, if twice a day is an addiction, we’re all addicted. cheers!

  • in my opinion, that doesn't really reach the level of addiction. A real addict might be masturbating 8-20 times a day or more, and will masturbate even if there are negative consequences (being late for work, missing a date, skipping meals, etc.). It doesn't sound like you're anywhere close to that.

    Instead, you've got a pretty normal libido (perhaps a big higher than normal, but not remarkably so), and you're taking care of business. I would consider this "slightly above average" at most.

  • Try going a day or so without it. Does it affect you negatively if you go without? Does it get in the way of your normal daily life? Like, are you neglecting things cuz your masturbating? If you aren't, then I wouldn't say it's an addiction. Maybe just a strong habit.

    • You are correct. My girlfriend says, that perhaps my jacking off is a 'habit. She may be right. I get more done, without taking the time to jack off. As good as it feels maybe better every other day or more. Thanks. Great insight for being 24 !!!

    • @Bricealan no problem! It can definitely be a time consuming activity.

  • You’re normal, he’s not.

    End of story.

  • Maybe not an addiction but an above normal sex drive.

  • Everyone's sex drive is different. If that is what you need, then that is what you need. Hubby's drive is much higher than mine, I thought his need to ejaculate at least once a day was crazy, but he has been that way since we have dated.

  • Not really, some do it more, some less.

    I’m definitely in the more camp, however I can go days without it,

    okay, maybe days is stretching it 😂

  • Not at all. Everyone masturbates but few will admit it! Just enjoy the great orgasms. Have you tried facetime or Skype sex with him. It is fun to watch each other get off. As you know he is also jerking off but he is not telling you! Your thoughts?

  • And you believed him?

  • An addiction is if you truly can’t function without it for a few days.


    It might help you get your day started or helps you relieve stress. Everyone does it differently.

  • No not at all... ur suposta 21 times a month

  • No, that seems about normal. Anyway there’s no such thing as a masturbation addiction. It’s only a problem if one is masturbating so much that they are neglecting other important things.

  • No, there is nothing, normal or abnormal about masturbation as we're all unique individuals. I can go for days without masturbating and sometimes make myself cum 3 or 4 times in a row. More often during the past time with covid.

  • I would ignore his comment. He probably jacks off 3 or 4 times a day. I did when I was 24, morning, afternoon and night. Probably thinks he is putting something over on you.

    Get this: One long term girlfriend (2 years) and I used to fuck, and masturbate together all the time and she knew I jacked off a lot, but as open as we were, I hesitated to tell her just HOW MANY times' a day I jacked off. I would jack off after a date with her and usually did not tell her.

    Soooooo. Ignore his 'addiction' comment. I told my present girlfriend that I jack off every day, and she said
    "I know it feels good, but maybe it is a "habit" " Similar comment as from your boyfriend.
    So, keep on rubbing off, it is good for you. Tell him to 'fuck off' with the addiction comment.

  • For years I Masturbated 5 to 6 times a day and also had sex to. So no I don't consider it an addiction

  • Not in the slightest.

  • If it feels great do it. It's your body not his, No your not addicted to masturbating

  • It does not sound like an addiction if it does not interfere with your life

  • It means you have a healthy sexual appetite. It's not an addiction unless you're doing it like 5 times+ a day. I normally do it 1-3 times a day, but I'm definitely no addict. Your boyfriend either has a low sex drive or doesn't jerk off and comdemns people that do.

  • That’s normal

  • No, twice a day is normal.

  • I'd wake up a little before my alarm and masturbate and I'd masturbate before I go to sleep... no addiction. Habit, but no addiction.
