When I was 13 or so, I used to be able to ejaculate 5 times a night, but now I can't get off more than once.
Is there an explanation for this?

If you look at the JackinWorld Survey #1, you'll see that 13-year-olds masturbate more often than 15-year-olds. Your body simply takes longer than the average 15-year-old to "recharge its batteries" before you can ejaculate again. But rest assured there are many, many boys your age who are satisfied with no more than one ejaculation per day.
What is the most you've ever heard that a person masturbated in one day?
My record is 9. Is that a lot or a little compared to other people?

It's getting up there. One person wrote and claimed to have masturbated 30 times that day, but I have no idea if he was telling the truth. I, myself, have never done it more than four times in one day.
Sometimes when I masturbate, it takes almost 15 minutes for me to ejaculate.
I masturbate only about five times a week. Does this mean I should do it more often?

If anything, masturbating more often will mean it will take longer for you to ejaculate – although you can practice with different methods to see which ones bring you to orgasm the quickest.
I have masturbated for seven months now, and I'm into tons of sports and have a girlfriend. I'm sort of addicted to masturbating, but I want to stop.
It was fun in the beginning, but now it just seems like something I would do when I was younger. How can I stop?

I want to stop masturbating, but it feels so good – it's REALLY addicting.
But for some reason the thought of it is starting to make me sick for some reason. Do you have any suggestions?
Not really. According to our readers, almost all attempts to "quit" fail. Here's hoping you can learn to really enjoy this safe practice that you're "addicted" to.
I'm wondering, is it okay NOT to masturbate?
I've heard from people that you can have sort of a problem if you don't – something called "blue balls."
Sure, it's okay not to masturbate, if you're able to. "Blue balls" is a common term for a rather uncomfortable congestion of the blood in the scrotum when you're sexually aroused for a while and don't ejaculate. The condition, while not very pleasant, is harmless and goes away in a few hours. However, anytime you have "blue balls," you're likely to be so aroused that resisting masturbation in difficult.
How many days can a guy go without masturbating?
After about a week or two of not masturbating, most guys release their semen in a nocturnal emission. Theoretically, you could go forever without masturbating. In fact, some people – very few, mind you – actually do.
I really want to masturbate. All of my friends are doing it. But there is a problem: I am a Roman Catholic, and my religion considers it a sin.
I want to do it one time – where should I do it, and how can I make it the most pleasurable?

When I masturbate I feel relaxed, and it feels good – but after I'm done, I feel I did something wrong. Why?

Guilt is a very common, but very unfortunate, side-effect of masturbation. Depending on how you were raised, your religious background, etc., it can be almost enough to stop you from masturbating altogether. But you have to absolutely trust the idea that there's nothing wrong with it, that it's perfectly healthy and normal, that just about everyone does it, and that it's good practice for your later sex life.
