How Often does a Normal Person Masturbate?

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?

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…

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.

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

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.

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

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
woowww
March 30th, 2009 - 23:50

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

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).

@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.

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 19th, 2009 - 12:42

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.

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 - 23:27

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.

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.

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.

Some comments are really funny. But the average seems to be like at least once a day for all sexes. Some girls claimed to do it once or three times a month. That seems too little as in they must be unsatisfied.
And over 5 times a day seems like an addiction

feel relieved after reading a few comments…. I just can’t get my hands away sometimes…. I just have to, now that my bf has gone for 2 weeks \i’m just goin mad everytime I have a bit of time….

but now I’ll do without the worry at the end…. not a real worry, just a bit!!!

Until my Scrotum runs out of fluid. 3-6x day when not in a relationship

No masturbation when when having a girlfriend. Too much Jerking off makes penis limp and tired or hard to reach orgasm.

I just finished jerking off to an internet porn

I am a 17 year old male and I think most of you people are full of crap. No one masturbates 36 times in one day! Your body releases certain types of chemicals when you become sexually aroused and when you ejaculate. These chemicals can cause depression, drowsiness, and many other non desirable feelings. I’m not saying masturbation is bad but limiting yourself is a wise decision because it feels better the longer you wait. I usually jack off 2-3 times a week and have read doctor’s articals about this subject and 1-2 times a week is actually considered normal. If you Jack off more than this, you are not normal. Facts are facts people. Learn to accept them :]

im not evn 13 and i masturbate wen evr im home alone. and im a gurl
thanks
August 27th, 2009 - 06:48

okay:

Firstly, “im not evn 13 and i masturbate wen evr im home alone. and im a gurl” maybe this is just my maturity speaking here, but it seems to me like <13 is just a tad young…

moving on to my main point, I generally try to get in one a day but if nothing is restricting me (people, schedule, etc…) I will go for more. For a while I thought that even as often as once daily was quite a lot, but after reading some of the replies by everyone here, there is a great deal of reassurance and I no longer feel as though I am "addicted."

Thanks everyone

Female here: when I’m not having sex, I can go as long as 2-3 weeks in between. When I’m having sex or something trips the horny switch, I’ll usually get off 3 times in one session once a day and continue it for a few days, pausing and re-starting when I get laid or horny. 23 years old. From my first time masturbating at 14 til I got a college room mate, it was usually once or twice a day, but only one orgasm per session.

Male here: 5-7 times a week, usually only once a day at 30. In my teens, 2x a day almost every day.

In this age of social relativity, normalcy is defined by each person in his or her own way. My normal is about once or twice a day. However, there have been times when I masturbated 3 to 4 times in a day for four or five days straight. As a 26 year old male, my sex drive has only increased with age (could be that I am in better shape than when I was 18). In fact, I can go on for hours. The only thing stopping me is soreness.

4 to 8 times a week, and when I have a girlfriend hardly ever.

I masturbate around 28-31 times per week, the most I did was 38 times in one week. In one day I have masturbated up to 9 times, and no, I was nowhere near running out of seminal fluid even during that one day I masturbated 9 times

I looooooooooovvve masturbating just love it love it love it. I wake up and go a couple rounds- first time just humping my sheets and pillows, then gettn lotion and get the good ol’ stroke goin. Then I take a shower am have some fun in there. At school I don’t do it more than 2 times- usually I just ask to go to the bathroom and use the hand lotion from my backpack and get to work in the stall- those r only like 2-minute wanks tho. When I get home is where the fun really starts- that’s when I watch the most Internet porn- I won’t say exactly what I do cuz I don wanna sound crazy, but yea.. Masturbation is good.

Well I feel a bit relieved. Phew. I’m a 14 year old girl and the thing is I began to have a sex drive around 12 or 13. Around 14 I began masturbating and ever since then I do it once a day (Sometimes i’ll skip Friday if I’m really tired from school). If my libido is giving me a hard time then i might do it 2 or 3 times a day but that hardly ever happens. To the people who do it 5 ^ times a day, where do you find the time?
