Dr. Jen Caudle addressed a common question—how often is too often to masturbate? Her answer: “There’s no top limit.” She emphasized that masturbation is normal, healthy, and only becomes a concern if it interferes with daily life, relationships, or mental well-being.
Dr. Sham Singh highlighted that masturbation offers physical and mental health benefits. It can ease stress, relieve menstrual cramps, and improve sleep. Depending on the time of day, it may help boost energy or promote relaxation. It also releases feel-good hormones like dopamine and oxytocin.
Dr. Caudle warned that if masturbation becomes compulsive or disrupts work, social life, or emotional stability, it may be time to seek help. Balance is key—it’s healthy in moderation but should never control your life.
One writer shared her experience of quitting masturbation. She described mood swings, constant arousal, and increased pressure on her partner. “Dignity flies out the window when you’re desperate,” she admitted, stressing that regular self-care can prevent emotional and physical strain.
