Just a couple of times a week is fine. If you do it too much you will de-sensitise yourself down there.

Masturbation is fine and perfectly healthy for teenagers and anyone!! It's not going to hurt you and you're not going to run out of sperm.

Nothing wrong with tossing off, just don't get that goop in your eyes, it could cause blindness.

It seems you have a lot of time on your hands and hence this activity. Generally teens do what you are doing ,but you seem to be doing it too many a times which might cause your penis to look crooked.Depending on which hand you are using. Doing what you are doing is not correct but acceptable & natural, you will become weak nurogicaly because you have to consentrate on some one mentally and physically help your self for gratification and only then you will have an ejaculation with satisfaction.this on the long run will stop your testicles from growing because you have used all the energy to satisfy your self. Make your choice and do what you feel is the best for you .
Wishing you all the best in making an decission,Keep your self busy by doing some thing like gardening or play more games on the feild ,avoid beeing alone as this makes you to do what you are doing .Have a happy teenage life.Bye and God Bless you.

You're 15, it's normal. A lot of people would tell you that it is normal and healthy - those are the people that masturbate.
I'm going to tell you that it may not be harmful, but there is definitely a better choice. Self-control is the goal in life. If you can control yourself, you can control your life. With masturbation, you can dull your sensitivities, create a weakness for addiction, and learn to be a slave to the body instead of a master. It's ironic that it's called masturbation. They should call it slavebation - people being slaves to their urges just for a kick of neurochemicals.
Control is power. Power feels better than slavery. I'm not saying that you'll be an instant addict or ruin yourself if you have a slip-up, just be in control enough to only do it where you won't make a mess, where you will have privacy, and don't use things that are degrading or women or violent as stimulation - that can cause psychological damage. Be smart about it and someday you will enjoy yourself physically with your wife much more.

Masturbation is neither harmful nor very good for health. It is just another act like eating, urinating or brushing.

Is Masturbation Normal?
While it once was regarded as a perversion and a sign of a mental problem, masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable and safe. It is a good way to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life.
Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively and/or interferes with daily life and activities.
Is Masturbation Harmful?
In general, the medical community considers masturbation to be a natural and harmless expression of sexuality for both men and women. It does not cause any physical injury or harm to the body, and can be performed in moderation throughout a person's lifetime as a part of normal sexual behavior. Some cultures and religions oppose the use of masturbation or even label it as sinful. This can lead to guilt or shame about the behavior.
Some experts suggest that masturbation can actually improve sexual health and relationships. By exploring your own body through masturbation, you can determine what is erotically pleasing to you and can share this with your partner. Some partners use mutual masturbation to discover techniques for a more satisfying sexual relationship and to add to their mutual intimacy.

Relax! Masturbation at any age is a healthy way to relax and release pent-up sexual tension. It's certainly not a bad thing to do, and nothing to feel guilty about.

it not bad for us, believe me i'm 15 and have been masturbathing for years now and all it does is satisfiy us

After a certain age when your body starts to function like an upcoming adult even if you do not masturbate you are going to bring our the fluid in the bed with dreams! Decide which one gives you more joy. Nothing wrong in masturbating as along as you can get it long.

It is totally normal and can be a good way to get rid of stress and tension. Enjoy yourself and don't worry - not unhealthy at all.

everythin in life has its pros n cons but makin a choise b/w by calculatin the risk is the best way ..........
i think normal teenagers have a fancy towards masturbation ...
as somethin is comin out of their **** givin a sensation of ****** in a way n most imp showin that we r men not a child but it is all natural........
there are several myths abt it like
1 it ll make u impotent
2 it ll reduce ur weight
3 ur eye sight got weak n etc......
but all these are not true at all
actually in a way it helps also
pros.....
1 it helps to decrease the risk of prostate cancer(prostate gland is a gland which secrete the semen out of the body it is a carrir of sperm basically).....coz when we not masturbate the movement of sperm become stifff......
2 it also helps in the mobility of sperm......

cons
excesss of everythin is harmful to human dont indulge in too much masturbation (i am tellin this frm my past experience)n yah if u r goin to think that it will affect u in a negative manner than the psycological insecurity ll cause u pysical deformity....

so enjoy....... but upto a limit....

it is normal, do once in a week, then concentrate in ur studies

you are too young .toomuch is too bad

I think people are unnecessarily giving you long long advices. Looking at your answer, once daily is okay. someday you may feel like doing twice so i put it as 8 to 9 times a week is fine. But don't exceed that.
also to stop yourself is making yourself busy in some activity or the other. Please don't take any medicines available in the market as they are very harmful and may lead to emotional imbalance
Just enjoy you life but stay in limits

It is good for health

Don't worry you are fine. Masturbation will not make you blind, will not desensitise you, will not make your penis crooked, will not make your testicles swell and wont make you a bad person.

Masturbation protects against prostate cancer though - a university in Australia did a very good study which showed this, much to many a man's relief!
