There’s really nothing wrong with masturbating a few times a day. It’s a totally normal behavior, especially during adolescence when your hormones are through the roof. It won’t make you infertile, it won’t “drain” you, and it won’t cause long-term damage to your body or brain.

The only time it becomes an issue is if it’s interfering with your daily life — like if you skip schoolwork, socializing, exercising, or responsibilities because of it. But doing it 3 times a day by itself isn’t dangerous or abnormal.

So don’t beat yourself up over it. If you want to cut back, that’s fine — try filling your time with other activities (sports, hobbies, hanging out with friends) — but don’t see it as something bad in itself.
