Hey guys! I've got a question. Now, I've learned that there is no such thing as "too much masturbation", as long as it does not affect your daily activities. It's just that for the past 5 days, I've been doing it every day, even twice on one of those days. It was after the week I was down the shore, and there is no private place down there for me, and too many family members that I wasn't comfortable doing it there anyway. It's just that that week was right at my ovulation time, which is when I feel the horniest. Anyway, I came home and as soon as I unpacked, I did it. I wasn't concerned, because although I was eager to do it, it was just from being so wound for a week of wanting to and not being able to. And it's not like that whole week it clogged my mind, just once in awhile I'd feel this urge, but I'd always shake it off. It did not interfere with my vacation.
But it's been 6 days now, and I think I've been doing it every one of those days (maybe not on one of them, but often enough) which is unusual. I don't usually do it every day. Like right now, for instance, I'm not feeling really horny, but I want to do it, and it's not like I've been wanting to all day, it's just that now...it's almost like I have nothing to do right now, and I know how good it feels, so I want to have that good feeling. If I were going out, I wouldn't feel like I have to do it before I leave.
So is it okay that I'm masturbating this often, even if I'm not super horny?

I am female but I think it is okay- pm me if you ever want to chat. [Wink]

Hey, confused? I'm only just passing through because I've finished my work for the day, but I need to remind you of something very important, especially since I needed to move one of your posts to a hidden area as it was not appropriate here.

Scarleteen is a site intended for young people, and their privacy and comfort is really important in order for them to feel safe here. So, older adults like yourself asking to chat to them privately, seeking a partner for masturbation (as in the post I deleted) and talking about feeling horny with them isn't the sound kind of boundaries we need older people to have when they are here.

PMs are disabled for users to protect their privacy and safety.

Please do remember you're at a site intended for young people, including legal minors, and if you're going to post here as an older adult, please keep the kind of healthy, safe boundaries you'd have around young people and sex in real life in mind when online here. Thank you.

From what you're saying, it really doesn't sound like there's a problem. I masturbated pretty much every day (sometimes more than once a day) as a teenager and still do so now (though not as often, but that's not due to lack of desire and more due to unfortunate shame issues [Frown] ), also, while it is possible to masturbate compulsively, if you find it frustrating when you don't do it for a while, I don't think that means you're an addict, no we don't need sex to survive, but a significant number of people clearly do find it physically and mentally frustrating (I'm not sure what the best way to word this is, if someone has a better technical definition then please offer it) to go without any kind of sexual stimulation/orgasm for a significant amount of time, and I don't think that means that someone's an addict, I think it's just the way some people are wired, and as long as they aren't sexually assaulting/raping/harrassing others then I don't think it's indicative of something being wrong with them. I think it's normal to have some degree of craving for pleasurable experiences, they are comforting and make us feel happier.

Always knock before entering my room when I am in there alone, as I may be doing all sorts of wonderfully thrilling things that I'd rather you didn't see.

Thanks, Jill, that makes a lot of sense. And yes, I never really worried about being an addict, I'm usually thinking more about masturbating even if I'm not really feeling horny or anything like that, that I'll just do it because...not exactly just because it's "something to do" but more because even though I'm not super excited and want to feel it, I know how good it feels and I just want to feel that.
