Question about health

[KennyR1]

Hello everyone! I hope I am welcomed here. I am 12 years old and it is quite hard to ask and get help about my sexual side because I am quite shy in real life. Most sites I go to don’t allow me to be in there but I just have questions I need answered. I have been struggling with masturbation because since I started doing it I feel like I need to do it all the time. I wanted to ask how normal this is? I looked around on the web and some say it is totally normal and some way it is not. I would love if someone that is more exprienced could teach me about some stuff maybe the basics! I hope it is okay that I am here!

Hi hi. You're quite brave to just ask a forum like this, so well done. I guess with something like masturbation, there is no one size fits all answer. Some people are comfortable masturbating only once a day, some people feel that they need to do it every 3-4 days. Me personally, I didn't know what masturbating was when I was 12. I think the most important thing for you to think about is why do you feel these urges, what is driving you to masturbate? Are you doing it because you are bored, because it feels good.. etc.

If you're looking for numbers though, generally 1-2 times a day is considered a healthy frequency. If you have had/are curious about wet dreams though, feel free to look around the rest of the forum. There are quite a few posts here, but I hope this answers your question.

Hi KennyR1
It's always hard to tell how much is normal, as CAS said it may be different for each person.
One of the most used warning is : it's a problem when it interferes why your "normal life" when you will stop spending time doing basic or social things to do that activity, that is not specific to MB, it's general, it's works with most of the activities that can lead to addiction....
BE VERY CAREFULL with this kind of sentence :" I would love if someone that is more exprienced could teach me about some stuff maybe the basics" you're 12 and people here are much older

.
So welcome, good luck but just be carfull and smart....

Thank you so much for looking out for me! I really am just here for education and help so I doubt anything bad will happen.
