Question:

Answer:

I don't believe that anybody can be "addicted" to masturbation. Are you bothered by the fact that you masturbate daily? Even more than once a day? If so, why is it a "problem"? I ask these not to be difficult, but for you to question if the amount you masturbate is of personal anguish to you, or due to how much you think society expects a male to masturbate - societal pressures. Unless you find that masturbating is preventing you from going about your daily (and nightly) activities, I would not stress over how much you enjoy self-pleasuring. Many people like masturbation for the soothing, sleep-inducing feelings it can provide. Thank you for visiting the Sexual Health Network.
