A sex expert has explained there is a limit to how much you should be masturbating.
Indian intimacy educator Leeza Mangaldas has take it upon herself to try and normalize conversations about sex around the world, specifically in her home country, and in 2022 even authored a book, titled: The Sex Book: A Joyful Journey of Self Discovery.
So, it's fair to say that the former sports reporter knows what she's talking about.
Now, while speaking to her fans through her YouTube channel, she has revealed whether it is okay to pleasure yourself everyday.

She said: "How much masturbation is too much masturbation? There is no single one-size-fits-all answer for this, you get to decide.
"Some people may enjoy masturbating everyday, some people once a week, once a month, once a year, not at all.
"Most of us just feel guilty about masturbating at all and so we can constantly think like, 'oh my gosh we're doing this too much' - even if we're actually doing it very infrequently."
Before touching on her beliefs about when is 'too much', Mangaldas added: "I think it's just important to keep in mind that as long as it's not getting in the way of any activities, like school or work, or your family obligations, and as long as you're not injuring yourself - maybe you can cut back?
"But it's good to keep things in perspective and figure out for yourself what feels good for you."
I mean, it makes sense doesn't it? As long as your rowdiness isn't affecting your day-to-day life, you do what you want to do - it's no ones business but your own.
Interestingly enough, Dave Asprey, the founder of so-called 'biohacking', has also weighed into the debate.
If you have a penis, according to Asprey there is an optimal amount of times you should be ejaculating per week, but it depends on your age.
According to an interview with health influencer Aggie, the rule is your age minus seven divided by four, and that's the number of days that should be between ejaculations.
He said: "So I've studied a lot of esoteric stuff and one of the things you'll hear from the Daoists is age in years minus seven by four, that's the number of days that you should have between ejaculation.
"Let's say you're 37 minus seven, you're down to 30 divided by four, so 30 divided by four, the potential was 28. And what that means is ejaculating once a week or less frequently and you do that to maintain your health."
Well, there you go. Believe who you want to believe, but at the end of the day, you do you boo!
