Problems with masturbation

Unread post by Tanc »

I'm 16 and I masturbate like 2 times a day and I don't know if that's harmful and each day the first time I usually ejaculate a good amount but the second time it's way less. Is this normal?? And also my penis is just 4.5 inches long and I'm worried about it too....

Hi Tanc,

How often people masturbate varies a lot, not only from person to person but for an individual person throughout their lives. And as long as it's not causing you physical discomfort or leading to you neglecting other important things in your life like school or relationships, then frequent masturbation isn't cause for concern.

As for the difference in amount of ejaculate, sometimes that might just be because how much a person ejaculates varies from instance to instance. Additionally, some research shows that if someone ejaculates twice in a relatively short period of time, their tends to be less ejaculate that second time.

With those concerns about penis size, I would give this piece a read to get some perspective on what the average size actually is, and how little size actually matters to a partner: Shown Actual Size: A Penis Shape & Size Lowdown
