I can't stop masturbating every day. How will this affect me in the future?
Hi and thanks for writing in.
Masturbation is normal and is an important part of learning about what you enjoy sexually. There are no rules about how much or how little someone should masturbate. It is common for guys your age to masturbate most days. Just make sure you are masturbating in a private place like your bedroom or bathroom.
When a guy ejaculates (cums), it is often the most enjoyable part of masturbation so it is understandable you want that feeling to last.
There are no long-term health issues associated with masturbating every day, though your genitals may get a little sore from the rubbing.
However, masturbation can turn into a problem for some people when they become addicted to it and it starts negatively impacting on their lives. For example, some people might masturbate at inappropriate times or places and not be able to control themselves when they get the urge to masturbate. If you are noticing these things, speak to a trusted adult or a local counsellor. Otherwise, masturbation is a pleasurable part of many people's lives and something to be enjoyed.
All the best.
