yes you are normal, DUH! aren't there a million jokes, movies and other such media influences to tell you this? OR there is always good ol' fashioned sex ed! c'mon!...normal..and boring.

First you'll get hairy palms, then you'll go blind, after that you'll burn in hell for eternity.

Until then, enjoy yourself wanker and I look forward to meeting you on the other side.

When I was your age I would masturbate all the time. We ran out of lotion in the bathroom a lot.

People used to tell kids that they would go blind or get hairy palms or that other bad things would happen to them if they masturbated. None of it was true, and it has been discovered that masturbation actually has some health benefits, for example it reduces the risk of prostate cancer.

In my experience the important things to remember about masturbation is to always be gentle with your genitals, wash afterward, make sure you have a private place and time to do it and that you be careful of the kinds of lubricants you use.

Soap can be slippery, but it dries your skin and this can cause a painful condidtion for a few days if the skin on your balls gets too dry and has to peel off. (Yes, I speak from experience.) So always wash off all soap. Never use ointments or medicines for masturbating, they can hurt you. Masturbating with food products, such as mayonaise or especially dairy products can cause health problems. Avoid them.

The best things to use as a lubricant are: 1. KY jelly 2. unscented lotion (scented lotion often has alcohol in it which can burn you) 3. vasaline 4. olive oil.
Olive oil and other cooking oils are the only exception to the rule about food products. Olive oil is very good for the skin, but other vegetable oils are ok.

With the exception of KY and other lubricants sold for sexual uses most of these products contain oil which can stain your clothes and cause pimples. You will want to keep a towel or some kind of rag handy for cleanup and keep these lubes away from your clothes. Also bathe regularly and use soap to get the oil off.

When you get older you will find that your need for release decreases. You will probably only feel like you have to masturbate once a day. Hopefully by the time you are 20 or so you will have a regular girlfrind or wife who will take care of these needs for you. But if she isn't there when you need her don't be afraid to take matters into your own hands.

Don't worry, that kind of mentality is normal for a male your age because of all the new things happening in your body (hormones, testosterone, etc.) Just be careful.

First of all, this is okay as long as its not interupting anything you're supposed to be doing in your life.
Secondly, maybe you could find a hobby or something to keep you occupied? Its not that what you're doing is abnormal but 4 or 5 times a day must take quite a while and therefore suggest you have quite a bit of spare time.

Its not abnormal though and once you start to have sex or become sexually intimate you may feel the need not to do it as much.

i dont know if your a guy or a girl, but usually if you do it all the time your lacking attention
(haha i heard it on a show)

Maybe for total relief, take your time. Stop when you are nearly "there". Relax for a while, then start again. Repeat. Then when you need to stop (to sleep, eat, study, etc) give yourself a real big spurting BLAST!
