How Often does a Normal Person Masturbate?
Jun. 05, 2007 by JJ
The Am I Normal series is one of the most popular topics here at The Churning. Entries like “The Normal Age for a First Kiss” and “How Often does a Normal Person Poop” have attracted a huge number of comments. I guess people just like to share their secrets.
Well, someone recently arrived at The Churning after Googling “How Often does a Normal Person Masturbate?” And that made me wonder. Am I normal?
Girl or guy - What’s the normal amount of masturbation? Weekly? Daily? Hourly?

With or without a helping hand?
Sorry, couldn’t resist.

Used to be a daily until Prozac killed my sex drive.
June 6th, 2007
I don’t think there is a “normal” amount for masturbation. It varies from person to person and changes as you get older. With over 50 years experience (really!) of jerking off, I consider myself an expert on the subject, a “master of masturbation” if you will but I’m still not sure what is “normal” for this wonderful sport. All I can tell you is that I ain’t blind or crazy yet and at age 66 I’m still doing it with no plans to stop…ever! It was one to three times a day as a teenager, about daily in my twenties and thirties…and then I VERY SLOWLY tapered off to 2 or 3 times a week at present. There was less jerking when I was married or in a relationship of course but I never completely stopped doing it. Am I normal? I don’t know and I don’t care! All I can tell you is that it feels good! As Woody Allen said to Diane Keaton in “Annie Hall”, “Don’t knock masturbation! It’s sex with someone I love!” Truer words were never spoken my friends! Uhhh…what was that question again?
June 6th, 2007
Before when i was single– 7 or 8 a week. Now that Im in a permanent relationship 3-4.
June 7th, 2007
ha… i would not be able to answer that question for you since i am most decidedly not normal… in any way shape or form… and damn it… what’s the deal with all the inverted nipple comments?
June 7th, 2007
I think this is one of those posts that won’t get a lot of responses from the regular readers, but we’ll start to see comments as people land here via Google.

I swear by daily affirmation. SWEAR BY IT! IT IS LAW!
June 7th, 2007
For me, it depends on a number of factors. I actually masturbate more if I’m in a relationship because I spend more time walking around turned on. My sex drive is like a switch that can be flipped on or off. If I haven’t been in a relationship in a while, and haven’t been touched, my sex drive just kind of dies down to a low point, where I maybe masturbate once a week. But if I’m dating someone regularly, and having sex at least weekly (it’s hard when you’re a single mom with kids to get it daily), it can be once a day or more.
June 11th, 2007
Every day at least once unless I’m to drunk. But sometimes perhaps up to four times a day if I had great sex the day before and start to remember all the sweet positions we did it in. I like to jerk off a couple hours after having sex, thinking about the sex that I just had. I guess it all averages out to between five and seven times a week. And I consider myself normal.
PS: watch out for soap in the pee hole.
June 11th, 2007
Once or twice a day. At least.
June 17th, 2007
for me it is never the same. sometimes it’ll be 3 times in a week, sometimes not for months. i’ve been having issues with this with my boyfriend though, so this is a nice topic to have as a reference. thanks all!
June 18th, 2007
I have more of a “range” that I operate in.
Average average: Once per day
Low end average: Once per week
High end average: Thrice per day
With or without a significant other. Yes, it’s that necessary for me.
June 19th, 2007
I know I’m not normal. Once my connective tissue pain spread to my hands, just the thought makes me wince.
July 20th, 2007
before my boyfriend and i were living 2gether it would be like once a month now its like never…
November 17th, 2007
I think I have a problem then, Im 26 and still have to find time to masturbate between 5 and seven times a day. I have a partner who demands sex daily and she normaly gets her takings but I always want more with other people even if I dont fancy them as long as its different. I love my partner very much but she could never satisfy me.
January 5th, 2008
Yeah, you don’t have a problem bro, I know EXACTLY how you feel. If I’m laying in bed, I’m shooting one off. If I wake up from sleeping, I go shoot one off. While I was off at training one time, I ran off to the porta-johns and shot one off in there three times a day. At home about four to six times a day, but my record was 16 one time when I was sick. When it comes to sex, I’ll do that even more, but I never have a girl with a mutual sex drive, so ya know, I feel ya.
January 21st, 2008
Actual you both have a problem.
Me-never the same, could be once every two weeks. A couple of times one day, all weekend if I’m bored. Could go a month.
March 2nd, 2008
Once a day on average. Usually I will jack off right before I take a shower, then take a shower, then go to sleep. It is great!
Sometimes I will do it twice a day, or even three times. It depends. Either way, it is definetely a high point in my day, and I would die without being able to do it. I lovvvvveeeee jacking off!
March 15th, 2008
Once a day for 50 years.
March 17th, 2008
I guess I fall out of the normal range then.
Minimum per day: 1
Average: 4-5
Maximum: 18
March 31st, 2008
Hahah lmao ppl not jaking off for months HAHAHA.. Unless there a girl i know girls like sex way less then us and its normal.
Personally i do it like once a day.. When i have rly nothing to do or havent been with a girl for a while (like 1 week) i jack off like 3-5 times daily
April 4th, 2008
I think normal is *jerks off* were was i. oh About daily for most teens. or every other day. *jerks off*. I don’t really think i do jerk off to much. *jerks off* i think i am about normal or the average *jerks off*. I would think jerking off would slow down as you get older *jerks off* as for me it hasn’t really slowed yet *jerks off*. I don’t jerk off a lot i don’t think….*jerks off* would you think i jerk off to much? *jerks off*
April 14th, 2008
um girls have a higher tendancy to masturbate than boys.
May 4th, 2008
well, my bf jerks off close to 14 times a day, and I am ready and wellin g to dropmy pants whenever he wants sex becuz usually I want sex too. But get this when we are about to have sex he is too senseitive from masturbating all day to please either of us. I’m so considering going out and sleeping with someone else,cuz I’m sick of hearing he doesn’t have problem. Well he does, I haven’t been satisfied in over a year becuz of his masturbation.
June 1st, 2008
Do normal people even answer these posts? Consider the sampling…
Anyway, I don’t consider myself normal. I am chemically addicted to release of whatever happens to my brain during the rush of orgasm, so naturally I do it whenever I can. I say addicted because I have done it at the cost of social interaction (never quantitatively measured, but I won’t go into detail).
I would put my habit at once daily if I have a full schedule. Four or five times if I have a clear calendar, and if I were the last living being on earth it would probably progress to about 10 times a day or so… basically whenever I could regenerate enough nut butter to go at it again. It would be like a pornographic version of “I am Legend,” where I wouldn’t care if the monsters ate me because I would be otherwise preoccupied.
June 14th, 2008
once in the morning, 3 times at school in the bathroom, 1 more if i drive home at lunch. again after school, usually another 2 - 3 times during the ender of the day. then 1 or 2 more in the evening. this is my daily routine. if its a weekend and i got nothin rto do all day il usualy get 15 - 20 times in. my record is 36. i had a painful rash for about a week after.
June 14th, 2008
Well, I don’t know how every one of u have so much strength to do it once or more than once a day. I feel very week even if i do it once a day. And I am 26 yrs old. Is this normal or should I take doc’s advice. I get some pain in head after jerking off. Well any advice to me. I am single and because of this prob i want to continue to be so……….
June 14th, 2008
well… for me, it is about 3 times a day in the weekends.. and about 2 on monday-friday. its feels good and i love it each time… i often wake up with a erection, and do a fast one :D…
sometimes after school if a hot girl had little clothes on her..
i thought i did it so much, and i was afraid i was un-normal. but after i read this thingy, i feel realived.. thx for making it
btw, i jerked of 5 mins before i replyed here :P… started to think if i was unormal
June 20th, 2008
But what ever u do, no matter how many times u do it. Please don’t let it affect ur personal life.
June 22nd, 2008
watch porn if u cant jack off and want to. take tribulus terrestris, yohimbe bark, or growth hormone and your wood will be as hard as a rock and stamina will be that of an black Kenyan running a marathon hahaha.
June 22nd, 2008
Some of you might laugh at this.
We all know that orgasm can be achieved from glans stimulation alone and feels a little different to regular full throttle-grip tugging.
Pursuing the glans approach in the shower one evening I proceeded to rub away a good few layers of knob skin without realising.
Boys, you have not felt dick pain as I had felt that night. The hot water felt like a shower of razor blades on my raw tockley. Funny thing was that I continued deliberately dousing my dick in hot water because it began to feel as though satan himself had manifested himself in my cock and any supernatural attention to my pudenda is something I encourage and not something I shy from.
Try giving yourself a devil dick and get back to me

I am 100% female and I would masturbate all day if I could. I have never had a man whose sex drive has been equal to mine. I wish I could find someone that would give it to me as often as I need it. Atleast 4-5xs a day. Maybe then I could keep my hands off myself.

WAT THE FUCK? THATS UNNORMAL AS HELL LOL
Made me laugh for like 3-5 minutes straight when i read this
July 13th, 2008
how do you do it more than a few times a day anyway? usually after 2 or 3 times in the same day you get really tired or you dont quite feel it as much anymore. got to space them out more to enjoy em lol
August 31st, 2008
I’m another 100% female, 41, in a new relationship (8 mo), but only see my man once a fortnight as we both have busy lives. I’d never realised how ezy it is to make myself cum, I always felt it was a bit gross and desperate for a female to do it. This week has been different, either because he left me unsatisfied or begging for more… not sure. Anyway, I’ve masturbated at least 3 times every day this week. Because I’d been so horny, I was starting to worry, so I Googled the topic
Thanks for the reassurance everyone! Today, I had to change my knickers, pants and shoes 3 times because I’d wet them right through. I sat on a three towels and masturbated, hand in or on my clothes, and soaked all of them. When my boyfriend cums ova, it’s not unusual for me to wet through six or eight towels plus a cot mattress protector off my daughter’s bed (a “Kylie”) 
It’s called female ejaculation, but I don’t squirt, I gush. It definitely does NOT come out of my urethra, contrary to popular websites! I couldn’t pee that much if I tried and usually do that beforehand anyway. Boyfriend better give me more attention or I’ll rub my clit off! It’s not meant as an invitation, BTW. SO glad this is anonymous. Phew!
August 31st, 2008
I’m a definite 2 a day man, minimum. It’s become part of my daily routine - can’t sleep without it! And ‘never satisfied’, do you want to meet for a drink? I reckon I’m up to the challenge!!
September 2nd, 2008
i am 40 yrs old, my boyfriend 42, love him to bits but dont think i can stand relationship much longer.he had kidney transplant about 4 yrs ago before we met and is still taking alot of pills! he says he loves me but i know he masturbates when am not there. we have not had sex for about 6 months, and dont say this is normal!!!!
September 13th, 2008
I masurbate once a day. I used to worry that I didnt have control and I was addicted. But I realised if I state I do have control and I am doing it because I want to. Then I can just as easily go to bed without feeling like I have to do it. I love masturbating though . Its my own private party.
September 22nd, 2008
Generally, I masturbate two or three times a day. It can vary a lot from week to week though. Sometimes I’ll go a week or two without. Also if I have six or eight hours alone and I get bored I can do it often (5 or 6 times) and for extended periods of time (30 or 45 min sessions).
September 26th, 2008
for me it basically depends on my mood…..when i was in the army i used to do it up 5 times but now its reduced to once a day because i mingle with females i dont think i shud spoil my sex drive for the day by masturbating
October 15th, 2008
GIRLS WHEN I HEAR U DOT NEED TO DO MISSSIONS GET ME BACK DOOR MSISION
October 23rd, 2008
I am a 31 year old female and I masturbate at least twice a day every day. I have had masturbation-fests before where I laid in bed and played with myself for two or three hours to the point where my fingertips shriveled (no joke). Even being in a relationship doesn’t seem to affect it… I think of it as “me” time. Haha!
October 24th, 2008
i can’y go thru a day wothout beating off. sometimes 2-3 times but at least once, and that first one is usually in the shower after work.
THere’s just something about the slick soapy feeling as my hands glide over my dick amd balls that gives me an erection that I can’t stop washing and stroking.
A bit later if the mood strikes I may slip in a porno movie and do it again. Sometimes I’ll take a naked day on a weeeknd and just roam around home playing with myself or masturbating when ever I feel like it.
I don’t believe there is anything abnormal about masturbating when the urge hits. It’s a good sexual release and allows one to have fantasies without harming anyone else.
Not to mention it’s alot of fun-hee, hee, hee
October 26th, 2008
dude im a guy im 15 and i jerk off practically every other day the only thing is i really shouldnt be answering this question now that i think about i cuz im not even sure every other day is normal
October 27th, 2008
dude after reading this i feel waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyy more normal actually instead of what i wrote above Yeah, you don’t have a problem bro, I know EXACTLY how you feel. If I’m laying in bed, I’m shooting one off. If I wake up from sleeping, I go shoot one off. While I was off at training one time, I ran off to the porta-johns and shot one off in there three times a day. At home about four to six times a day, but my record was 16 one time when I was sick. When it comes to sex, I’ll do that even more, but I never have a girl with a mutual sex drive, so ya know, I feel ya”

omg
November 6th, 2008
If I am incredibly turned on by a female but do not want to make a decision I might regret (like an ex), I masturbate to her. After I am done, I usually completely forget about her. Best therapy for getting over an old fling!
November 19th, 2008
Til my cock bleeds.
November 19th, 2008
Ooo… bad visual on that one!
November 25th, 2008
Hmnnn… After reeading all of these my question is; do you people find that it controls your life? Because I hate being around people, going to work and being around people, taking the subway and being around people, riding the bus full of people, and walking on the streets full of people!!! So, when I’m home I admit to the loser I am and sausage slide for two hours until primetime T.V. comes on and I can escape the monotonous lost life I’m in. Then, I jump quickly into bed to sleep and put it all behind me until I get up in the morning and have to f*+#ing do it all over again!! I even get to work 1 1/2 hours early every day to relish the a sense of an empty floor full of cubicles and so I only have to ride the bus and train with construction workers and porters. I’m married to a woman that thinks I’m a joke of man and haven’t had sex with her in over three (four ?) years. But, without her I’d be totally alone. Masturbation is my friend, my momentary bliss, my sense of victory over an empty life…
December 5th, 2008
I started masturbating when I was 14 and had sex when I was 16. It was about 1-3 times a week till I was 18. From then it was 4-7 times a week. For the past couple months I don’t have a boyfriend it is everyday, every other day, maybe twice a day! I basically need to have an orgasm a day, so if my boyfriend is doing that, it is about once a week.
December 10th, 2008
On average:
6 times was the climax
3-4 times a day during teenage years
7-10 times a wk on average
nowadays i get too busy with other stuff
so around 7-8 times( the wkends=] )
December 12th, 2008
I’m worse then a boy….i do it about 4 times daily sometimes more… and any girl that says she doesn’t is lying
December 12th, 2008
I think that anyones that finds this topic will say you can do it as often as you like since only those who are interested in knowing that or at least looking for something related to masturbation are going to find it, take me as an example
December 17th, 2008
usually i masturabate while in lecture halls and i gently rub myself off til i ejaculate. i jerk off in the shower twice, usually i masturbate before and after i take a nap, regularly about 5-6 times from porn. Usually once or twice i rub off a quick one behind school. I average about 20 times a day, but i jakced off 47 times once when i was 15 and i had like 10 scabs on my cock for about a month.
December 19th, 2008
thanks for this site, i was wondering if i had a problem, but i see now it is quite regular to masturbate anywhere from 1 to 5 times a day, depending on the inspiration available. i’m 30 now, and haven’t slowed down at all since my teenage days, except when i’m in a relationship, but even then not all together…cheers
January 5th, 2009
I’m a guy… For me, 1 time a day on average and 2+ on a really good day (The “+” stands for 2-infinity btw)
February 10th, 2009
wow i thought more than a few times a week was bad.
you people are disgusting! i hope you use as much hand soap as you do lotion
March 12th, 2009
“once in the morning, 3 times at school in the bathroom, 1 more if i drive home at lunch. again after school, usually another 2 - 3 times during the ender of the day. then 1 or 2 more in the evening. this is my daily routine. if its a weekend and i got nothin rto do all day il usualy get 15 - 20 times in. my record is 36. i had a painful rash for about a week after.”

March 17th, 2009

To and fro motion produces white lotion… Newton’s 4th law of motion.
March 24th, 2009
well … im 16 .. i have had a sex drive since i was 12 … lost my v card at 13 … b4 i lost it i masturbated whenever i was alone and had some time … after i lost it i made time and then at 15 i slowed down as my sex life became even more active … i average about 2 - 3 times a day after about a week with no sex … 5 - 6 times a day for about a week after sex … so i personally belive masturbation is based on the person and however much they want dp it
March 30th, 2009
well i used to do it about once a day but then i thought it was a lot so i did it twice a week for about 3 months. now i see its normal so im gonna do it more often =)
April 7th, 2009
i’m 19.. had sex for the first time and found out how to masturbate when i was 18.. for a while i would masturbate up to 20 times in a day, but that was during the summer and now i dont have enough time, so usually during the school semesters i will masturbate 1-2 a day somedays like 10 but thats in a period of like an hour they just keep coming and thats only if im lucky, mostly just once a day though
April 11th, 2009
thanks for making me feel normal, how do you guys even d it that much? My record is three a day! Its a good way to fall asleep so I do it once a day at least though. ps, newtons fourth law is not what horny guy said (though that was funny) its,
pleasure=mass x acceleration
April 14th, 2009
dude i totally started mastubating when i was 11….sadly…. and i’ve masturbated mostly everyday with a climax since i was 12 and a half-ish now i just do it about 2-3 times a day. i mean i dont do it as often as other people but hey i started at a younger age at least^.^
April 16th, 2009
Hi guys, great help here fellow christians!
I ussually masturbate 3 to 5 times a day. But i like to masturbate to dead things. sometimes ill stick my dick in a a raw steak work it up and down, jizz and feed it to my dog. My dog is sexy, sometimes i want to put pieces of broken glass in its food and then cut a hole in its tummy and shove my dick in its bloody warm insides as its corpse starts to cool down. I also jack off in movie theatres, and onto peoples backs in the subway when they are not looking. I asked one of the kids at the preschool i teach at whether this is normal and he said it was, : ) my recod has only been like 10 in a day though, but i dont really keep count. i jerked off into a babys eye for fun once when i was babysitting as a teenager. 5 peoples backs was the record i got one day when i was riding the metro. But its okay, because i am 100% all of this is normal :] YAYY
April 24th, 2009
I shoot it off about 3-4 times a week.
May 2nd, 2009
Twice a day for me. The first is generally right when I wake up, because of the morning wood. The second time is at night right before I fall asleep (it really helps knock me out).
May 3rd, 2009
JJ, what’s the count here?
May 5th, 2009
@Much Lovin:
The average of the 44 somewhat serious sounding responses
is 11.7 times per week. That’s nearly twice a day on average.
I think that says more about the people who frequent this website than it does about the true “normal” range.
May 5th, 2009
hey pls help me , i seriously wanna know that in what period of gap should i masturbate , i m 19 yrs old and very skinny male…. also i feel like warm body , dizzyness, weakness after that when i daily do it 1 time and when m not do it 4 3-4 days warm body still remains….pls help me plssss

masturbation kicks the autonomic (read automatic, read involuntary) nervous system into one of the finest examples of adaptation (sex is the best)on this limited planet. 1) relaxed; 2) gettin’ horny 3) stimulation includes erection and lubrication in both sexes 4) work it, work it, work it 5) the previous has led the calm, peaceful nervous system into overdrive 6) the sympathetic nervous system is kicking in [up pulse, up blood pressure, up wild cognitive stimulation, dilate pupils, allergies and congestion disappear, ya ya ya ya ya ya! it does not get any beebebetterrrrr than WHOHOHOTHEREGOESTOKYOGOGOGODZILLA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 7) the parasympathetic ns is kickin’ back so you don’t die (ladies, keep going, we are envious of these multi-orgasmic events………perhaps nature favors the one that grows the offspring)
WHOA!!!!!!!!! I am beat! 9) hold your partner (or relax if alone) 10) the central and peripheral nervous systems are amazing……get to know them without hurting yourself.
May 17th, 2009
I am a guy and i masturbate at least 4 times a day and it is AMAZING! The only thing better is actually having sex!
May 19th, 2009
I’m a female aged 28 married with 2 kids. It is essential for me to masturbate atleast twice a day, it helps me to relax and also for the main reason to climax. We have a great sex life but i can never climax with sex alone i need to stimulate my clitoris. I am not ashamed of maturbating but i’m not open either, i’ve never discussed this with my partener. I usually masturbate after sex when my partener is asleep and also during the day when i’m alone at home, i lie in bed with nothing on thinking of the desire to have sex with a stranger, i touch and squeese my nipples and gentaly stroke my clitoris and finger my vagiina it feels like i’m in heaven.
June 1st, 2009
wow…I have laughed so hard because of all this. Just wow, by the way, if anybody could tell me why whenever i have sex with my gf ill wait till she leaves and then polish the one-eyed gopher. It its odd seems to me the more i have sex the more i masturbate… dude wtf
June 1st, 2009
I would say about 3-4 times per week. I don’t have sex outside of a committed relationship, which I don’t have at the moment, so spanking the monkey is the only sexual pleasure I get.
That said, when I do jack off, I often come twice, or three times If I’m really, really, really lucky.
June 7th, 2009
1-2 a day, sometimes ill miss a couple days. prolly about 4-10 times a week. but lately after masturbating i lost alot of sensation. dont know what from but its been like that for a week. was really sick though and lost some weight so maybe my drive has been lowered, and i think about it alot so that doesnt help.
June 7th, 2009
ATTENTION EVERYONE!!! (ESPECIALLY IF YOU’RE JEWISH!!!)
Read this book: Portnoy’s Complaint by Philip Roth
It is about a the life of a jewish boy growing up in the 1940’s and 1950’s and being, basically, a masturbation addict, among other things.
On the first page of the novel, one finds this clinical definition of “Portnoy’s Complaint”, as if taken from a manual on sexual dysfunction:
Portnoy’s Complaint: A disorder in which strongly-felt ethical and altruistic impulses are perpetually warring with extreme sexual longings, often of a perverse nature…
see Amozon’s page for it here:
http://www.amazon.com/Portnoys-Complaint-Philip-Roth/dp/0679756450
and see the Wikipedia entry here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portnoy’s_Complaint
I read it at the recommendation of a friend whom I told that I was a masturbation and pornography addict. Although I am not “cured”, I am learning a lot more about myself and finding more ways to control it.
I am 19. I never had a girlfriend. I had a friends with benefits when I was 18 and got to 1st, 2nd, and 3rd base all with that girl within the span of one week. I have never had any such experiences with any other girl.

i love sex.
