30 something woman here, apparently I masturbate a lot compared to my friends.
I have to say “yeah once a week too” when they raise the subject ,when in fact it is multiple times a day. Husband would also do 2 times a day if he kept to his “normal” cadence. I know “whatever works for me” is right, but I’d like to compare to other people my age that aren’t my friends.

      Are you circumcised? That might be why it hurts you? I don’t think it’s supposed to hurt after only one time

        I’m not, but sensitivity ramps up significantly to the point of discomfort if I try to continue; “hurt” may not be the most accurate word but it sure feels internal, not, like, just due to a lack of lube or something.

      If it hurts at all, see a doctor. I’ll sometimes go a day or two not doing it, other times I will three times in a day.

      Doesn’t hurt. I just gotta be horny enough.

        It’s not really the stroking, but… wow, I can’t believe I’m having this conversation lol but it’s more like the regrowth after flaccidity (first time typing that word ever) becoming increasingly more difficult each time in terms of sensitivity, unless sufficient time (a day) for “reloading” has first passed.

        While I’m at it, I’ve also wondered how many others, uh, continue to leak a bit for each next half-hour. My part down there has almost always done that for whatever reason, which I just presumed was normal.
