Whatever relieves your sexual tension is fine. There is no "normal" time for masturbation. Just do not over do it, otherwise masturbation is normal and harmless. Get HPV vaccine. Wish you good health! Safe sex: https://www.hopkinsmedicine.org/health/wellness-and-prevention/safer-sex-guidelines

Whatever time you want to spend for your sexual satisfaction is 'normal' as long you dont practice any unusual method. Any thing in moderation is OK and dont fall for what you read or see on the 'net as they are full of misinformation. Ask your doc or in a forum like this if you have any questions.
