I think everyone is different and it really depends on the individual. I've talked to some people that do it 2-3 times a day, 2-3 times a week, 2-3 times a month, or never. I couldn't even guess what the 'norm' is. I would suspect that men masturbate more than women. I would also suspect that teens to 30 year olds, masturbate more than 40+ years of age. If you interested in my personal masturbating habbits, send me an email.
When I was young I could do it everyday, but now that I am 50 I plan a time once each week when I am alone. I have a lot of arthritis and the endorphins really help take the joint pain away like no medication can.
There's no such thing as "normal" when it comes to sex, and/or masturbation. Some people do it 3-4 times a day, some once a month, some never. Whatever a person likes to do is "normal" for them, and no harm is done, unless it interferes with life's obligations, or if in a relationship, they do it to avoid partner sex.
Happily married people do it right next to each other in bed sometimes. It's all up to the individual.
When I was a teenager, I probably averaged 3 times daily. In college, probably twice a day. In my 20s, about once a day. Now, in my 30s, married with a kid, it's about twice a week.
Who knows what most people do?
