Okay, I'm sure everyone is going to have differeing opinions, but I was curious how normal is this, or if it's something I should care about.
My bf and I were talking about masturbating the other day. I asked him how long he's gone w/o sex and masturbation. He said............"no more than one week". I asked him since like he was young? He said he had no idea since when, but probably at least before he was 20.
Now, he DOES have a high sex drive, so I can understand "needing that release", but I guess in the back of my head, I just thought, wow, that's a lot. I wonder if that's some sort of issue that could be a BIG issue one day.
So, is that normal? I guess as long as two other men say yes, I won't care. If everyone says no, um, what should I do?

Okay, so that's enough for me to know it's normal...even for the ladies. =) I know for myself, I think I've masturbated at least once a week for who knows how long, and yet, at the same time, I've gone w/o longer. So, I was just wondering.
Thanks.
The only time masturbation becomes a problem is if they prefer THAT to their partner. Guys can be laying in bed right next to you, and still masturbate. There's nothing abnormal or freaky about it.
Oh, I know men of all ages masturbate more than once a week. That wasn't the question, nor the issue. It was about HAVING TO MASTURBATE at LEAST once a week. Big difference, well, it is to me.
Also, assuming you HAVE to do it, can be a sign of sexual addiction. I knew a man who said he'd masturbate before work, at least 3 times AT work, right after work and before he went to bed....EVERYDAY!!!!
That to me is a problem. Espeically because he felt he HAD to do it. I dunno. would you consider that a sexual addiction? Or just healthy?
Also, I never said I had a problem with his masturbating. I have none at all. Besides, in all honesty, it
As a mtter of fact I was in the hospital with a catherder in me for 3 days one time. When I got out I ejactulated 3 times on the way home. No stimulation or erection just ejactulation.
So if your guy wants to masturbate once a week I don't se a problem.

I would only be concerned if his life is being affected adversely or he seems preoccupied with it. Doesn't sound like the case though.
