How many minutes of masturbation is normal?

There are two types of erection in men. One is erection at night, which is a normal physiological phenomenon, just like breathing and sweating. In the 24 hours of a day, the night is the peak time for penis erection. According to statistics, adolescent boys can have erections about 6 times a night, each lasting about 20-30 minutes; young people have more erections, with an average of once every 90 minutes a night; after middle-aged and elderly people, the number gradually decreases, and healthy elderly people over 60 years old still have erections once a night.

Another kind of erection is caused by physiological or psychological sexual excitement, such as stimulation from opposite-sex friends, stimulation from sexual content in film and television magazines, etc., that is, the erection before a man ejaculates. It is estimated that a man ejaculates 7,200 times during his lifetime. Among them, masturbation can make a man ejaculate 2,000 times on average.

Under normal circumstances, the duration of penis erection varies, from a few minutes to more than an hour. If the erection lasts too long, more than 4 hours, and the erection is limited to the corpus cavernosum, it is an abnormal erection of the penis.

The report also emphasized that the average length of the male penis when not erect is 8.9 cm, while the average length after erection is 13 cm. When taking a shower, almost all men's penises become smaller. According to records, the smallest male penis in human history is only 1.6 cm, and the largest is 28 cm.

In fact, masturbation is a common behavior of animals, not unique to humans. The famous British sexologist Kinsey defines masturbation as "any behavior that excites oneself", which includes not only the stimulation and friction of the hands, but also the stimulation of other objects. Masturbation is not unique to humans. Some authoritative experts in biology say that solitary gorillas raised in zoos sometimes masturbate, while animals in nature rarely masturbate. This kind of self-stimulation behavior is a natural physiological or social problem, and there is no distinction between good and bad, normal and abnormal. In a strict practical sense, masturbation is a supplement to human sexual life. People in puberty use diapers to consider their own impulses; married couples use diapers to fill the needs caused by menstruation, separation, etc.; men undergoing fertility examinations use diapers to extract sperm to check the quality of semen...

But the data still tells us a very important message - desire cannot be indulged. There are also reports of extreme cases on the Internet, such as married couples having sex a thousand times a month, and frequent sex life causing men to become impotent... Sexuality makes people enjoy happiness that cannot be replaced by anything else, so people often regret meeting each other too late. This can be said to be a natural instinct of adults. Sexual needs are originally normal needs of people, but excessive sex becomes excessive desire, which is very bad for people's physical and mental health.

Everyone knows the saying "excessive desire hurts the liver". The specific manifestations of liver damage are: mental fatigue, back pain, limb weakness, and the mind is always immersed in sexual fantasies, which affects work and study. Over time, it may cause neurasthenia and the main manifestations of erectile dysfunction such as premature ejaculation and impotence.
