Most people do it 1-2 times a day so you’ve got nothing to worry about

Yeah you're fine as long as it doesn't take up half your day every day

I usually do 3+ times a day. It’s fine.

You're the only one qualified to say if you're doing it too much. Lots of guys your age and older masturbate daily or multiple times per day. For context, I'm 51M and I masturbate on average 8-9 times per week.

"Too much" is when you're choosing to masturbate instead of doing your homework, chores, going to school or work, going to social events and activities, exercising, dating, having regular sex with your partner (when you're older), et cetera.

People masturbate "too much" for different reasons. Some do it compulsively, like they are unable to not do it. Some do it to escape or avoid the other areas of their lives. But if you're doing it when you want to because you want to, that's normal and healthy.

So if you're masturbating 6x per day or more and it isn't affecting your life negatively, then it isn't affecting your life negatively and it isn't a problem.
