Can one become addict to masturbation ? How many times per day can be called as !


Question: In general terms, an addiction can be anything that is uncontrollable, effects other aspects of a persons life and despite negative consequences, cannot be stopped. If someone is sacrificing other meaningful activities, it may be an addiction. There are about half a dozen body chemicals produced during sex which can create a very powerful cocktail...dopamine, serotonin, vasopressin etc.
Another related problem could be OCD (obsessive-compulsive disorder) where the repetitive behavior is masturbation itself. The line between addiction and OCD can be blurred at times.
There is no set number of times a day where it would be defined as an addiction. However, if it interferes with other responsibilities, or if the muscles or skin are getting excessively irritated or sore, there's definitely a problem.

You do it in public toilets means you have an addiction

id of said if you are doing it bout 3+times per day you are addicted, and yes you can get addicted, but if you have an active sex life then you should be good and free from the fear of getting the addiction

Once if it lasts all day and night with no room for food or anything else.

i dont think so but it is good

10 times a day without caring about the place where u r is addiction.

When your wrist gets tired you've had enough.

addictions arent based on how many times we do something, it's whether we need to do it, either mentally or to function proply... masturbation i guess could be a mental addiction...

even once daily is an addiction.

You are addicted if you cant not do it. if you say ok today i will not masturbate and then you cant get through the day without doing it your addicted.

Yes I think you can , and it depends on how many times A day do you do , and if you are married. if you do it and your married , you have a problem. And also if it makes you not do things like not go somewhere because you weather masturbate I would say definitely yes. And one more thing do you think about doing it all day and where to do it , like cant think of anything else to do. then yes. and if it disturbs your life and relationships , then yes

no one wil say with masturbath u can addict to it .again it depends on u r mentality if u r strong u can do 3-4 times

do it in private..no,this is normal..or,,get a nice girl,or,a naughty girl..whenever..cheers..mary.c.

If you do it even when you are not aroused it is an addiction.

yes but it sure is a good auditing but remember to get out and socialize with others or you will become a harry palmed recluse

I masturbated around 5 times and I became addicted to it.
Last time I masturbated was 3 months ago and I told myself:

"Michael (me), If I don't want to do it but I was addicted to it, I better fight it! Stop it & it worked!"
If you stop, you'll still be addicted for the first five days after masturbation but then you stop!...

I masturbated 5 times and watched porn once...
But, I didn't become addicted...

Yes, it can become addicting for boys...

I think Kinsey rated pr. week. 7 - 14 was normal, 14 - 21 is normal among youngsters today. More than 28 times a week is rare but not implying addiction or that something is wrong. Your question touches upon taboos and you must seek enlightenment in professional literature if you want valid answers. If possible talk with a doctor with sexology as her or his most important area.
I support the notion of being able to socialize as more important than "how many times". Get a place where you are free to do what you want and make sure that you have friends and talk with them at least once a day. Or start a weblog (which is an emergency solution:-)

An addiction is when you do something repeatedly at the expense of other things . So if your masturbation only happens when you are bored and does not stop you from other activities , it is not addiction
I assume you are a young guy ?? and all young guys masturbate at least once every day , many of them more than this . It is just a way of discovering how your body works , and helps relive tension .
If you are still involved in other activities , i.e sports , socialising , work.school etc then you should not be overly concerned .
So long as you masturbate in private , and in a place and time your are not likely to be disturbed , then you are fine

addiction is when you masterbade 4 or more times a day
and do fetish stuff like whip *** on girls

When it starts interfering with life and the things you should be doing, it is an addiction.
