Perfectly normal as long as it is not done in excess.

Can you be more specific? It's like asking "thoughts on gardening". I don't know, what about it exactly?

When I'm happy I don't do it as much so that probably says something

Good. The same with all things though, don't over-do it and don't rely on it to feel good

I think men should be more open and experiment more when masturbating. Male masturbation is seen as shameful and gross because society instills in us the idea that men are hypersexual and hyperagent and thus should be having sex with women, so admitting you masturbate still carries a connotation of shame (it's why people still joke like 'get used to your right hand' when a man says something they don't like). Notice how you never see the same for women? Its because female self-pleasure is seen as beautiful and empowering (at least in some spaces, in others it's also seen as shameful) while male pleasure is seen as gross and pathetic

I'm trying to think of ways we can reframe and reclaim this, and I'd love to hear other people's suggestions

One thing I think is to destigmatise male sex toys as a way to unlock greater self-pleasure and sensation than just your hand. Also try not to rely on porn so much when masturbating, try to separate the two.

Most men nowadays aren't having sex that often and this is increasing, so I think it's really important to explore how men can pleasure themselves and feel empowered doing it. We're not getting any pussy, so we may as well start busting the best nuts we possibly can

I generally only watch solo stuff as the actresses are more likely to be willing and safe. There's a lot of ethical criticism of porn from puritans who think every aspect needs banning, while they're over reaching some of their complaints are legit.

Little bit of jerking odd is fine, maybe once a week. But I'd highly recommend the removal of internet porn from your life

It’s ok as long as you aren’t the type to get depressed afterwards. That can lead to a cycle that’s bad for your mental health.

Sex is addictive (like alcohol or drugs). "Fake sex" like porn or masturbation will make you want more sex. In excess, can make you even don't enjoy real sex because "fake sex" is more attractive (is proven that porn actors tend to suffer erectile disfuncion). So i dont recommend you masturbation, but is your own decition. I forgot to say, doesnt help to see porn when you feel lonely, it increases the feeling
