Q. How many times can I masturbate a day?
Hello doctor,
How many times can I masturbate a day? I am a 14 year old boy going through puberty and hence such doubts.
Hello, Welcome to icliniq.com. It is one of its kind and the most interesting question that I have come across. It is good to see that how an adolescent can be so inquisitive about his sexual development.
- In males, sexual maturity begins to appear during puberty that is, by the age of 13-14 years.
- Hence due to hormonal surge and due to development of cognitive modalities, they begin to explore their sexuality and start masturbating.
- Besides this, they also develop a variety of myths and wrong concepts pertaining to sexual practices due to lack of knowledge.
- Similar to these wrong concepts is your query about the number of times an adolescent can masturbate.
- There is no scientific research data about this, but usually adolescents masturbate 2-3 times a day.
- This is because they begin to explore their sexuality and cannot regulate the pleasure gained through such acts.
- I would suggest you not to stop masturbation as it is your personal choice and also it does not pose any threat to health.
- Moreover, I would recommend you not to keep thinking about sexual practices and sexual behavior all the time, as this will make your mind crazy and would hamper your studies.
- Hence maintain a balance in every sphere. Also you can share your doubts with your colleagues.
