I've posted here before. Hypersexuality and sex addiction guides my life. I've made it work. My whole schedule and routine is built around sex and masturbation, despite being a wife and mother. I have side partners, my husband doesn't know. It's not his fault, but he wouldn't understand. I feel like I manage it well but I have outbursts of complete lack of control that scare me. Sex in dangerous situations where I could be found. High risk. All for the need to feel that high. To feel like I'm okay because not having sex makes me feel like I'm holding my breath. I always try to make sure I have sex in safe situations to make sure my marriage stays intact, but I messed up this holiday weekend and had very high risk sex with my husband's friend and I felt out of control again. It scares me when I get like this.

Hello, everyone. I am a 33 year old woman. I have been diagnosed with sex addiction so my views on sex and masturbation are a little different than most. Masturbation has been an incredibly important tool for me for a very long time in order to control my sex addiction. I'm a very sexually active woman, so depending on the amount of intercourse I have, is how much I masturbate. That said, I still have a minimum of 3 times a day. I explain this because I've recently befriended a group of younger women that have been looking to me for advice.

In this group, 2 of them have very similar "symptoms" to mine and I believe that they have undiagnosed sex addiction as well. That's beside the point, but the point is that they have an incredibly strong drive as well and rely on masturbation a lot to control their urges. They asked me how much masturbation is healthy and I realized that I have a clearly biased perception of what is healthy and what isn't. I looked for stuff online and didn't really find much about women's masturbation. Apparently, men have to control theirs because they have a limited amount of semen and it messes with their testosterone or something. But that's not an issue for us. I don't believe I have ever had real problems for my masturbation habits, but I don't want to give advice that may be wrong to anyone.

How common is it for other women to masturbate multiple times per day? Have you found any health concerns from it?

Thank you!
