My husband is convinced that most men jork it at least once a day, as in, that’s the bare minimum and age is not a factor. I think it varies a lot more than that, but now I’m curious. I know this is a very specific corner of the internet, so this obviously won’t reflect global stats or anything, but I’d still love to get a sense of what’s “normal” for any gender here ( maybe I really mean average instead of normal.) If you’re comfortable sharing, how often do you actually masturbate, or what are your best guesses? And if there are any professionals or people with more research-backed insight, I’d be really interested in your perspective too. Just an honest question from a curious mind.

I’m 40.
2-3 times a day. God help me if I have a day with no wife and kids and time alone.
I don’t have a super high sex drive, but I’m also a single father of two and work full-time. So I might get a few a week? I’ve also been seeing a FWB lately, so I usually just save it up for when we meet. 😅
There’s an amazing Chris Rock skit from around the Bigger and Blacker time frame. I’m not sure if it’s that special or not. It’s about men having the house all to ourselves and the secret Batcave stash of porn 🤣
Once, maybe twice a week but I have a lower than average labido
Everyday
1-2 times a day normally.
Once a day sounds about normal to me.
At least that’s what I’m gonna tell myself, because that is myself.
Varies with age
Twice or more a day unless I’m sick
Usually once a day.
Life is just one big gooning session if you’re a guy.
Once per week. But as a teenager I used to look like this gif
4-5 times a week usually, maybe more, maybe less.
3-5 x per week. (55/M) Now, if I had more time alone with my thoughts, and less people running around the house, at least once a day
Twice a day, more when I’m ovulating
I’m 30, at least twice a day. Once when I wake up, and once when I go to bed.
Honestly, I think your husband’s guess is pretty close. I would say most men jerk off once a day when living alone. When they have a partner, they either mess around with them, or have to sneak to the bathroom, so it might go down but not willingly.
Depends. My average is a couple times a week but I take medication that’s blunted my sex drive a bit.
I flick the bean at least once per 12 hours
Every second or third day if I have a full schedule – maybe once a day if I have got time off. It all depends on my general mood and stress level. If I am very stressed and in a bad mood I tend to do it more. Dopamine is the name of the drug.
0-2 times a week.
Once a day, sometimes twice.
I can’t even comprehend how people can do it multiple times a day.
For me it’s about once a week
(23M) , once in 10 Days or more , and sometimes i do long breaks like 2 to 4 months
Pretty much once a day. It’s a huge stress reliever for me so if I have more time at home and I’m relaxing, I might do it twice on that day. Once in a while I’ll do thrice in a day but it’s not super common.
Being an unemployed Man? Almost everyday.
But when I’m employed, 2-3 times a week.
Sometimes once a day sometimes twice sometimes not at all sometimes all the time most the time it’s most the time but more time than not I’m not
Hope that helps
Lol
A few times a month but im a european
As a teen, every day a few times. As an adult 3 times a week.
Minimum once a day, on the high end 4 times a day 😅
i’m a 19 year old woman, usually it’s once a week, but sometimes twice a week
Every other opportunity I get.
31M
Almost daily, probably 5 to 7 times a week.
Rarely more than once a day, but sometimes up to 4 times in a day.
When I was 18, I could knock out 5-6 a day
At 30 probs 2-3 a day
Almost 50 now, just prefer the real thing at 2-3 a week! Hope that helps
Once or twice a week for me. More when I’m stressed. Haven’t done more than once per day since I was a teenager.
Usually 2 times per day. Maybe 3 if I have the house to myself.
I don’t do it at all. I should practice the Taoist version of edging but I keep forgetting to do it lol
Yes.
Once a day on a regular day when my wife is around. More if she’s out of town. It would be less, actual sex with my wife is infrequent enough that I spent a bunch of time over at r/deadbedrooms. More sex would equal less tuggin. I’m 50.
Just enough
Too much, I’ve got issues right now. Normally, I do it once a week but I guess the stress of college exams made it climb up to twice a day…
That’s about right.
About one or so a day if it’s a weekdays but let’s get crazy by doing maybe 2-3 on the weekends lol.
As a teen, twice a day, as a 46yr old man, once a week, maybe twice
Once a day before bed unless I’m really tired and go straight to sleep
It has varied with age. Post puberty 3 times a day. Into adulthood maybe once a day depending on circumstances. Less in my 40’s, maybe a couple times a week. Dropped off a lot in my 50’s where it sort of comes and goes. May go a month without, then every day for a week, then nothing for a month, pretty variable.
Twice a day. Sometimes three or more if time permits
At least once a day, idk if this is good or bad but it helps me wake up and get moving
40s everyday
Probably average twice a day over week.
Twice in the past 7 months, but I’m recovering from surgery. Don’t really feel like it.
15yo, 4 times a week
Twice a week
Usually two or three times a week. My penis gets really sore if I try more often than that.
I don’t understand the men who say they do it 2 or 3 times a day. Wtf?
Mid 40s. Sometimes it’ll be 1-2x daily, other times I’ll go several days without. Depends how I’m feeling that day.
Between 2 times a week, or 2 times a day.
Man these comments lol Im a man and at least once a week. Where do you guys find so much time lol
Yes.
Once every few months. It’s very disappointing usually.
50/Male at least once a day.
I’m 21, at least 5 times a week. Always before sleep, i’m not even horny anymore, but it is amazing at helping me sleep so if i need to sleep asap (i’m a STEM student so that’s almost everyday lol) i bust one before falling into a deep slumber
Everyday
33F
I haven’t done it in like 2 months and a half, and I’m in an distance relationship with my boyfriend so I’m not that sexually active.
But when we started the in distance I used to do it daily though
Once every two or three days
Once a day, on average.
I masturbate thrice a day, since the age 17, 38 no btw. Never affected my sex life.
Maybe once a month when circumstances align and i get bored. Cursed with a really low libido.
Yes
Once a day unless sex happens and even then I still probably rip one
Once a day if possible
34/F Every few months if the mood strikes me. Anti depressants have killed my libido plus I’ve never really enjoyed self love, I can’t really get into it
good lord i have gone 6 months without realizing it. i don’t have anywhere to do it. my youngest kid insists on sleeping in my room. my oldest kid tends to stay up as late or later than i do. neither kid believes in the concepts of space or locked doors or anything. a locked door means banging on it.
2-3x per week.
That’s hilarious. Nah I just bone my wife and that seems to do it for me.
Like per week? Or in the time it took me to finish this post?
38 m. Generally once or twice a day. Sometimes zero but that’s rare. If I have sex it drops to 0 or 1. Occasionally more but that isn’t as often.
Once a month max
1-7 times a week
Without ssris everyday with ssris once every 3 days
Usually 2 or 3 times a day
4-5 a week
Once a day on average 40M
3 times a week at least.
5ish times a week but I’m single and still in my 20s. If I had a partner I feel like it’d definitely be different.
Male, before anti-depressants twice a day, now two or three times a week.
On my prime days, 3 times per month. But now I’m declining.
Not a whole lot. Every few days
Once or twice a month
54- 1-2 times a day..
3-4 times a week for me
Depending on a moment of cycle, few times a day to few times a week. Most of the time it’s a pretty good twice a day
Whoa, if other people are being honest, I gotta get my numbers up. Im a once maybe twice a week guy.
36/M. Divorced and depressed.
Once or twice a day
Once or twice a week. I don’t have a very high Libito.
62-year-old man. At least once a day, sometimes two.
I was down to two or three times a week but I’ve started taking testosterone and my libido has just gone through the roof. I love it. Wife…not so much.
Yes
maybe 2-3 times a week
Once a day, but if I had a good hearty meal that day twice
yes
Rarely ever
1 to 8+ times a day easily. Usually once in the morning and once before bed when I’m not actively seeing someone. I’m late twenties male
Yes
one a day.
It promotes prostate health. 😀
Not often. I want to give my wife the cream
38 and I’m probably once or twice a week.
A lot
Every day, after I get stoned and I’m about to head to bed
Well I had phases where it was once a week or where I surpressed it amongst people but it’s usually at least once a day sometimes I skip sometimes multiple times when I am alone
I’m a woman. I do it daily.
The problem is it naturally lowers my libido when it comes to actually fucking, so when it has been a while and I know my husband will want to have sex, I have to stop it for a few days.
Depends if I’m stressed or depressed o gotta insult myself first to jerk off
Your hubby is right, nuff said.
3 times a week
like a few times a week, used to be everyday but I’m 35 now so things are just a bit different
2 week bruh yall corn addicted
Anything more than once a day is obsessive, but its tempting to do when you’re bored
some days it’s 3x day some others it’s 1 per week
Usually at least 3 times a day (38F).
At least once a day, most days twice. If it’s my day off, I might go four or five times.
Tldr I don’t want to cut into masturbation time
This question should be re-asked but with a requirement to specify age because that makes a huge difference
2-3 times a day
single 26f and on average once a week, maybe less. if i were seeing anyone romantically i’d definitely have sex more than that. masturbation just doesn’t do all that much for me anymore. like it’s chill or whatever i guess… but i just dont have that much of an urge to do it. i wouldnt say i have a low libido necessarily either, i just don’t get anywhere near as much satisfaction by myself. it kinda depresses me to masturbate honestly.
Al least once a day. I wanna cut down on the amount of time I spend on doing it but it’s hard
I have an annoying high libido. So, uh, yeah I don’t really count if I’m home alone
It used to be like 3-5 times a day until I went back on antidepressants. To say the least, my lower sex drive has been a relief to both me and my boyfriend 😂
Men, average once a day sounds about right
One, two, maybe sometimes 3
Around 3 times a day. Male, older than 30, younger than 40.
im in a constant state of cum. You gotta go with the flow brotha
Once a day
Around 2 a day, I’m a woman
Male, mid-30s. Varies but maybe 2-5x per week. Pretty much never more than once in any given day anymore.
Avg 3 times/day 32M
19F : less than once a week, more so an every once in awhile thing for me
1-3 times per day.
It do it a couple times a week, hard to get in the mood for me since I got schooling.
I have bad insomnia, so constantly.
Twice or so a week, usually more when I’m ovulating.
Too much times to count
