      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.

        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.

      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%
