A 40-year-old member asked:

How to control myself from masturbating every day?

Why?: Essentially all young men, and many young women, enjoy their bodies in this way several times a week, and even a few times a day isn't unusual. If you're obsessed with erotica to the exclusion of other things you know you need to be doing, your physician can help. Otherwise, vary your technique, maybe imagine being married, cherish the new joys and responsibilities of being an adult.

You're fine: Essentially all young men and most young women do pretty much like you do. It keeps you able to focus on other things, and lets you learn about your mind and body in preparation for adult life. It wont' damage your health in any way, and you need to ignore people who warn you otherwise.
