Dear Is It Too Much To Masturbate Every Day?,

Masturbation:

  • Is normal and healthy.
  • Is a personal decision. Some people never masturbate, others do every day.
  • Only becomes a problem if it gets in the way of your every day activities and responsibilities.
  • Should be done in private.
  • Safest way to have sexual pleasure there is — there’s no risk of pregnancy or STDs.

 

If you find that masturbation gets in the way of your every day activities and responsibilities, TeenHealthFX suggests reaching out to a trusted adult. You can speak with your parents, school guidance counselor, nurse or teacher. Your trusted adult of choice can help refer you to a certified mental health professional.

If you don't have a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist or contact your local teen health center or Planned Parenthood. A Planned Parenthood health center is a good option if you have concerns about cost or confidentiality issues. You can also contact your insurance company for a list of in-network providers.
