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) Masturbation is just fine
2) Several times a week depending on my mood and oppurtunity. Currently, given the sexual situation with my wife, I am making more time for this activity
3) Normal in my mind is if it starts effecting your ability to interact in your life
4) They are not related in my mind. Besides sometimes its just nice to not worry about whether or not you're satisfying someone else's needs. "

" 1. Totally normal & definitely ok
2. Whenever the urge hits me.2-3 times a week
3. Whenever you feel like jerking it/rubbing it seems normal to me
4. Nope. Still Ok if you're in a serious relationship. I use it to turn my husband on. He likes to watch. "

" (1) Do you think it's ok to masturbate? I most definitely think it's thing great to do! No shame for me at all! My motto is If I don't do it or shall I say do myself who will!

(2) How often do you masturbate? Let's just say quite often, no number needed, but it all depends in where I am mentally.

(3) How often is "normal" in your mind? I think normal is whenever you get the urge and can release it, everyone's different!

(4) If you think it's ok, is it LESS ok if you are in a serious relationship? I think personally its even MORE fun and better in a serious committed relationship. You can have fun with it and teach your partner how its done and how you like it, and even do each other ! ( smfh! thinking of it now) "

" And BTW, that member has been banned, this was an old thread.
But Sassy is so right, check out who asks the question, I don't think an adult would ask that question. "

" 1/ completely okay
2/ 3-4 times a week, bepends when i'm alone or not
3/ as long as it doesn't interfer with your life
4/ i'm in a relationship, and i do it less, cause i don't want to masterbate when shes around, cause of the stereotype of 'my husband does it, don't i make him happy?'.... i think its healthy to still masterbate when your in a serious relationship... "
