Masturbation questions

Ok, so I am finally trying to learn what "normal" is. Being a man, I'm mostly interested in how guys answer these questions. (But ladies, feel free to advise me too. I can use all the help I can get.)

Here are my questions:

(1) Do you think it's ok to masturbate?
(2) How often do you masturbate?
(3) How often is "normal" in your mind?
(4) If you think it's ok, is it LESS ok if you are in a serious relationship?

Thank y'all in advance for you time and honesty. I really apreciate it!

" (1) Yes, it is OK to do it, as long as it does not affect anyone else.
(2) 3-4 times a week, usually with my wife.
(3) Whenever the urge strikes. It depends on whether or not you are doing it for fun or you "have" to do it.
(4) That depends on the relationship. For example, my wife is perfectly fine with it, but I normally don't do it alone unless I feel the urge to do it.
If your doing it in the privacy of your own home, then it's your business, IMO "

" Any time, my friend. Don't let it bother you too much. Masturbating is pretty much a normal thing for many of us guys (and a few of the girls, too). Bottom line....if it feels good, do it! "

" I masturbate at least once a day. Lately 2 or 3 times...lol. It seems healthy to me. In a serious relationship I think it's best for couples to do it together. Fun! "

" 1. It's perfectly natural, normal and healthy.
2. At least once a day, sometimes 2 or three. I have a very high sex drive and the wife works.
3. Everyones' definition of normal is different.
4. Just so long as it doesn't REPLACE sex with your spouse and you're not denying it or anything. "

" She has never said it, but i think my wife appreciates the fact that i masturbate when i need to, cause it means i'm not out getting it somewhere else. "
