I had a friend recently who was on flomax, which is a prostate drug but they were treating his kidney stone, he said when he finished it came out like a puff of dust. I’ll let him know he should have stopped.
If it causes you to miss work or if you’re unable to wait until you get home and end up doing it somewhere its not acceptable, then its an issue.
I remember a story about some low level politician pulling off into the parking lot of a preschool to rub one out. That probably would be a good example of this.
Is there an actual specific reasonable interval or does it vary person to person (of course putting aside any specific issues like muscle injury in the area for an example)
It does vary from person to person. Whats reasonable for you may not be reasonable for others. Libido as well as age is gonna be a factor. Some people do it multiple times a day and others are a couple times a week.
Again as long as its not hurting you or others, go for it man. Like others in this thread mentioned, in moderation, its a healthy thing to do.
I’m not taking a side, but unless there’s some new evidence, virtually every study I’ve seen is filled with little to no evidence this is true and sums up with something to the effect of ‘results uncertain, more research needed’.
Still doesn’t look like anything definitive. Words like may and could are littered throughout the article. It looks like the main evidence was a questionnaire.
You do know that honest science rarely makes definitive statements, right? It may be a spurious correlation, but the next most likely explanation is that all the men lied about their results in a way that perfectly mimicked the expected results, and they did so without any coordination, and over the course of years. Or it’s just a massive coincidence that is only true of those men.
satire?
Nah it’s good for prostate health to masturbate at reasonable intervals
I’m glad you mentioned reasonable levels because like with anything, it can be harmful if done too often.
How often is too often?
When dust comes out, it’s time to stop
No, keep pushing forward. No pain no gain
My ejaculate is vapor now. It feels amazing.
Attaman

Great question.
Essentially if its not interfering with your life in a meaningful way, you’re fine.
If it causes you to miss work or if you’re unable to wait until you get home and end up doing it somewhere its not acceptable, then its an issue.
Or not being able to stop or reduce the frequency can also mean its an issue.
However, rather than listen to some nobody in the internet, you’d want to consult a medical professional.
Sounds like im good
Worst case, get a D-lock

Are you numb, bleeding, sore or neglecting other activities like friends, family or your job?
You’re probably fine. Whole area’s kinda built to do that pretty regularly. So same rules as exercise.
21 times a month should be good enough.
More shouldn’t be a problem either, since once every day reduces the chance of prostate cancer by 36%
If you have to ask, it’s too often.
Every time you jerk off jesus weeps.
If that’s what gets you off, I don’t kink shame… just enjoy in moderation, there is only so much lubrication tears can provide…
People who worry about other people’s masturbation habits concern me.
People who interpret my last comment as actual advice concern me… actually nah I’d find it hilarious.
You know there’s such a thing as curiosity. Just because they asked doesn’t mean they masturbate often, or at all for that matter.
Oh no

What intervals, exactly?
I find the morning and evening commute to be the ideal time.
That’s the beauty of public transport
please don’t be that person on the bus ;-;
Boss makes a dollar, I make a dime, that’s why I crank my hog on company time

Good advice. Doing more research right now! ;-)
That was back in 2016 the case, but not anymore:
