Can you get friction burn from masturbating too much?
4 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: It will depend on how and how often you are masturbating. Skin is skin and friction can separate the top layer of skin from the base layers and a blister can form. To prevent this from happening, use a good lubricant (there are many made specifically for sexual practices) and try to limited use of materials (can lubricate them--ie cloth, plastic and others) and try to cut back on your activity;.

Yes: The skin of the penis is just like skin elsewhere on the body. Excessive / continuous friction will cause an abrasion.
