Hi....
Welcome to "Ask a Doctor"service.
I am Dr Ajeet XXXXXXX

I have gone through your query and here is my opinion.

It is quite normal and has no harmful effects if you masturbate very frequently.

Semen is a normal body fluid which is being produced continuously and in the presence of a normal hormonal levels,there would be an urge for sex and release of it.
As you don't have an outlet so you have a temptation to masturbate.
Even if you would not masturbate,there would be night emission and release of seminal secretions.

To sum up,you should not worry about untoward effects of masturbation and it would rather de stress and relax you.

But....if possible,in life,excess of everything should be avoided.
Try to divert your mind to other things and learn meditation and other relaxation techniques.

Hope that I have answered your query.
If you have any queries,please let me know.

Stay healthy and stay blessed.
Regards.

first of all doctor thank you for your considered opinion ...this may seem unusual, but it's as if it helps in The Grieving process which I'm going through everyday. There are days when it seems more than once would be acceptable under this circumstance. I suppose once a day would be considered excessive but it is helpful in this grieving process. I assume after a while The Grieving will be less and so will be the masturbation. So currently it is 10 to 11 times each week.

Detailed Answer:
Hello Sir.
Welcome back.

That's what I am saying that it would help you to release the stress,relax your body and provide peace to your mind.

As such,there are no premade protocols that this much frequency of masturbation is normal and this much is not.

This is normal human physiology and you can continue to get yourself eased out.

But again,I would request you to divert your mind to other things and other hobbies of your's.

Regards

I would assume now that it is possible for this 10 to 11 times a week to end up being twice a day for the foreseeable future, and this isn't anything to worry about giving the grieving process is still going on. And the back of my mind it feels like this is becoming addictive but I'm assuming it is only because healthy grieving process. Your consultation is greatly appreciated I feel as if I have some of that my side now. Thank you Doctor
