        I’m glad you mentioned reasonable levels because like with anything, it can be harmful if done too often.

          Is there an actual specific reasonable interval or does it vary person to person (of course putting aside any specific issues like muscle injury in the area for an example)

            It does vary from person to person. Whats reasonable for you may not be reasonable for others. Libido as well as age is gonna be a factor. Some people do it multiple times a day and others are a couple times a week.

            Again as long as its not hurting you or others, go for it man. Like others in this thread mentioned, in moderation, its a healthy thing to do.

            Great question.

            Essentially if its not interfering with your life in a meaningful way, you’re fine.

            If it causes you to miss work or if you’re unable to wait until you get home and end up doing it somewhere its not acceptable, then its an issue.

            Or not being able to stop or reduce the frequency can also mean its an issue.

            However, rather than listen to some nobody in the internet, you’d want to consult a medical professional.

              I remember a story about some low level politician pulling off into the parking lot of a preschool to rub one out. That probably would be a good example of this.

            Are you numb, bleeding, sore or neglecting other activities like friends, family or your job?

            You’re probably fine. Whole area’s kinda built to do that pretty regularly. So same rules as exercise.

            21 times a month should be good enough.

            More shouldn’t be a problem either, since once every day reduces the chance of prostate cancer by 36%

              You know there’s such a thing as curiosity. Just because they asked doesn’t mean they masturbate often, or at all for that matter.

                If that’s what gets you off, I don’t kink shame… just enjoy in moderation, there is only so much lubrication tears can provide…

        I’m not taking a side, but unless there’s some new evidence, virtually every study I’ve seen is filled with little to no evidence this is true and sums up with something to the effect of ‘results uncertain, more research needed’.
