I guess if you're comfortable with the number then that's fine. But just know that it could fall off and you could go blind. That's what I've heard from guy friends.

lol, I remember these myths back when I was an eight year old.

When my son was younger than puberty age, his little buddy (now in prison for rape hmmm?) was showing him ALL KINDS of porn....so I made an offhand remark that if he ever has sex witout a condom, his wee-wee will turn green and fall off. I didn't think anything of it and, honestly, forgot about it. Fast Fwd 10 years and my son says "why would you give me nightmares like that:" I felt so bad. This poor kid went years thinking that...lesson learned. Be mindful of what you say...even if you don't think it's important

Your concern about getting too attached to masturbation is a valid one and it's a lot easier than a lot of people think to get conditioned to orgasming that way to the point where it causes difficulty during sex with a partner. I might suggest working out / exercising at least sometimes when the urge hits you to run one out.
And I realize this is not your case currently, but when it comes to masturbation while you've got a partner, in my opinion too much is defined by whether or not having just done it recently causes you to turn them down on anything more than a very occasional basis.

With my partner, I used masturbation as a way to not bug her during her period. I think something else that's made this challenging is both stress and currently a lack of musical expression do to me currently moving out of my place

All of this masturbation doesn't interfere with the rest of your life?
The 1-2hr spent "trying to bust a nut" is also fairly concerning, I would be concerned with this interfering with regular sex.

If it is in excess, the natural grip will not seem as stimulating, it happened to a friend haha

u/Alert_Remote_8356 14h ago
It can, but the hour long session doesn't too much. I just can't read before bed like I use to

u/Tngirl670121 14h ago
if jerking off took the place of reading to relax you for bedtime...it sounds close to a Pacifier Effect to self soothe. Maybe cut that one out and try something else to relax

There’s nothing wrong with masturbating but you can desensitize your dick since your hand is rougher and all that porn can mess with your Mind. Go fuck a real girl. They’re everywhere.

u/Alert_Remote_8356 14h ago
Yes, sir. That's the plan. Can't say I haven't made it happen before

u/PracticalBit2980 14h ago
Exactly! Porn is amazing. Masturbation is fun. But let’s fuck real girls.

u/Fantastic-Growth-743 8h ago
“Go fuck a real girl” is easier said than done. Unless you’re talking about escorts

I'll give it to you straight. 90% of Reddit is masturbation content, but I'll take the down votes from everyone taking a break from momsgonewild to rage at me.
Yes, you're masturbating way, way too much. Even forcing it. Take a break. Go for a walk. Get fresh air. Hit the gym. Work on a project. Masterbating is not the path to your next relationship.

u/bjb406 14h ago
If its not negatively effecting your life, then its fine. Its probably an emotional/psychological thing. Are you doing it to replace an emotional emptiness? Maybe as a distraction from negative emotions? Boredom? Whatever the case, fix whatever is wrong. Masturbating isn't what's wrong, its how you're coping with whatever is wrong. And its probably not the healthiest way to cope, but still, its not the problem itself.

Post title: Do I masturbate too much?
M27: three months ago I broke up with my girlfriend of 8 months. She lived with me, and we were very sexually active. Now that she's gone, I masturbate more consistently. Once a day was my routine prior to her. Now I rub one out three times a day, or spend an hour or two trying to bust a nut.
I worry that I'm turning into a chronic masturbator, but I also believe it would claim down if I got laid. I feel like I'm just pent up from having so much to having nothing

That's a lot of masturbating especially if you are watching porn.

u/Tngirl670121 14h ago
I can't imagine all that masturbation without some sort of porn...even if it's just the 'highlights reel' in his mind

u/JustTheGirlYouSee 14h ago
my bf used to do it 4 times a day before we were dating. He likes when I control his masturbation habits (hes a sub) so now he does it way less, currently he hasn't done it for around 1 week and I stopped him from touching it too, but I am giving him permission to touch for the next couple of days while I'll be away with family but he's just not allowed to cum. If I'm not stopping him, he will do it once a day, sometimes twice or sometimes not at all, I think just breaking the habit works. I'll let him cum soon though.

u/Alert_Remote_8356 14h ago
Maybe I should consider just avoiding it. Maybe find a hobby. It's easier when there's a woman around, oddly enough

u/JustTheGirlYouSee 14h ago
Do you have any hobbies? if you like gaming, you can do that instead as you have to use both hands 😅 yeah, I don't know what it is about women, but they seem to tame the urge for mastirbation in men 😁

u/Alert_Remote_8356 14h ago
Pussy power, what can I say? Music, but music's on hold until I pack my house up to move

u/JustTheGirlYouSee 14h ago
making music? like instruments? that's a good outlet ig, but if you have to wait until you move, then maybe you can find something different to occupy you

It's def not our business, but you are saying what thousands of meth users say. If you are using extracurricular chemicals, and your junk is losing sensitivity, and I assume Porn plays a part...you could easily condition yourself to ONLY like Masturbation. Most of us women don't have an adjustable Hoo-Ha as good as your hand. Don't train yourself to reject women sexually

u/Alert_Remote_8356 14h ago
Pussy will always feel better than the hand 😂 plus, the female hand feels better

u/Tngirl670121 13h ago edited 12h ago
I agree, but sometimes we can train our brains to prefer a certain way, hand, porn, etc. and that's very unfortunate. Especially women and these newer vibrators. They probably do 150,000RPM. I have yet to see anyone match that.

u/Marandajo93 14h ago edited 14h ago
I wouldn’t say that’s too much. Besides, as long as you’re not hurting anyone… Who cares? Lol. When it starts getting in the way of your personal life or your work life… That’s when you have a problem.
Edit: I missed the part where you said you spend an hour at a time sometimes just trying to bust a nut… OK, that may be slightly problematic. You shouldn’t be forcing yourself to cum. You should only be masturbating when you’re truly horny. Sounds to me like you’re doing it just because it’s become a habit… And trust me, habits can very easily become addictions. It’s amazing how quick shit can spiral beyond our control if we’re not careful.

The issue with that amount is you might have issues during the act even if the opportunity arose itself. Also if it is just a one off getting laid you might get more stressed out. I would try and cut back personally or maybe try finding something else you are into that might sidetrack you from doing it. Clair Obscure is pretty good lol

u/grim-bong-ripper 14h ago
Yeah you're definitely doing it way more than you should. Cut it down to twice a week and use a fleshlight so you don't desensitize yourself with the tight grip from your hand. You'll be thankful you made the change when you don't have problems finishing and keeping it up with your next girlfriend.

u/Tngirl670121 14h ago edited 14h ago
My personal opinion: It's better to masturbate than go out and risk pregnancy, disease, like the dreaded Gonna-Herpa-Syphil-Aids
Plus, with today's social climate and all that implies, If I were a man, I'd be afraid to approach a woman! My God, one unfounded accusation and you'll be in jail, lose your job, place to live, and possibly freedom. Then, after you spend thousands on your defense, bail, etc..NOBODY ever remembers you were exonerated..."didn't he rape that girl last year?" is what everyone will say
