Are chronic masturbation a sex addiction?

Could be: Any sexual activity could be part of a sexual addiction if the person doing it: can't do without it; has the rest of his/her life affected by it; needs increasing amounts of it in his/her life. All the questions that are used to assess drug addiction can be used with minor changes to assess sex addiction.

It depends: I think that masturbation is a normal part of one's sexuality.The sexual urges are different for diferent people.I am not sure that chronic is the right term-probably " excessive" is what the reader was referring to.I think that there is a fine line between normal and excessive. Some degree of self discipline is always a good thing. If the readers suspects a form of sddiction, counseling is due.
