Masturbation frequency, urges, and cultural mores.
If you masturbated like 3 times a day for a week, would you have any sperm left – enough to get someone pregnant?
Yes, you definitely would. Your body is producing new sperm cells all the time – even seconds after you've ejaculated. It takes only a tiny drop, containing millions of sperm cells, to impregnate someone.
I'm a 19-year-old college boy, and I masturbate 3-6 times a day for about 30 minutes apiece. Is this unhealthy?
I wouldn't say it's unhealthy, but you are certainly devoting a lot of time to masturbating – up to 3 hours per day. As long as masturbating isn't keeping you from doing more productive things, like studying, I'd say it's okay. But if your grades are suffering, consider cutting back. It's not that frequent masturbation is unhealthy, just that your masturbation habits shouldn't intrude on other areas of your life.
I always feel great and sexual before and during masturbation, but a few seconds to about two minutes after ejaculation, I feel completely unsexual.
It's mostly not guilt; I just feel like I don't really want to have anything to do with sex at that moment. I'm not worried whether that's normal. I just wanted to know if there's a way to control that problem, because it's stressful when I'm doing sexual things with other people.
I've found a couple of Web sites saying "overmasturbation" is possible, and I do believe in it.
I was "overmasturbating" for 4 years, and now I suffer from severe depression, and I also don't sleep very well. I just wanted to let you guys know that, because others shouldn't suffer.
I have a 6-year-old son who has discovered his penis. I stopped him from masturbating a couple times in the last week, but it doesn't seem to work.
I don't know what to say to him except to wait until he is older. Is this normal, and is there something I can say to him to make him stop doing this until he is older?
I am 16 years old and masturbate every night – sometimes 3 times a night. I have been masturbating for years now and cannot stop.
I try stopping once in a while, but it is not possible. The most days I can go without masturbating is like two days. Why am I so addicted to masturbating? Is this normal? Am I going to be addicted to masturbating for my whole life? How can I get out of this habit?
I'm 67. Will there be a time in my life when I will no longer feel the need to masturbate?
I read that more and more people are living to be 100 – do they masturbate?
I am 16 and have never, ever masturbated. I've ejaculated in my sleep 3 or 4 times, though. Is this normal?
I think this may make losing my virginity a much more incredible experience – am I correct?
A person I know found out I like to masturbate. Now it's kind of spreading around school, and I am being teased and criticized.
I had the impression from your site that most guys masturbate, but most of them are claiming they don't. Can you give me some advice on how to handle the situation?

Is it true that all girls masturbate at the age of 13 or 14?
One of my friends says she's done it only about 4 times, and another one says she doesn't, and a third says all girls do it. What is the percentage of 13- and 14-year-old females who masturbate?
