    Question

    I am male 17 and I like to masturbate 'til ejaculation unneccessarily. Is this normal?

    Answer

    Masturbation is normal, but if it gets in the way of school and work, then it is not. One thing to keep in mind: the more you masturbate and ejaculate, the more semen your body will produce, which will create the feeling of needing to masturbate. As you masturbate less, your body will slow down production, which may take away some of your desire to masturbate.
