I'm 17 and i reckon i've done it 8 times or more in one day before. Now, I'm not saying that's a good thing or a bad thing. I think that as long as your privates don't hurt and you're not becoming obsessed, there's no harm in satisfying your high sex drive at this hormonal time in your life.
I may be biased as i've posted a question simular to this, but personally, i don't think you have a problem. Just enjoy yourself. By the sounds of things, you won't have a sex drive that high forever.

I used to masturbate a lot, well in to my 30s and it has calmed down alot now, i rarely do it, but if i did that would be okay. Masturbating is normal, unless it makes you blind. That's what the nuns told me.That was a joke. Well, I think I'm funny.

It isn't harmful for your age. Your hormones are wacky right now and that is why you are doing it often. I used to do it two to four times daily when I was that age. I eventually slowed down to one to two daily, though. Nevertheless, I'm completely fine! So, get at it and have fun! Just don't let it consume your life! Good luck :-)

No, it's not harmful. It can be a problem if you start to have to do it and it is affecting the rest of your life. For example if you leave your friends to masturbate or have a need to do it in public. Other than that it's a good stress releiver and I'm guessing you don't spend hours doing it.

Yes, it dissociates you from reality, like playing video games, reading, doing hard drugs, or watching tv. It also makes it a rather self indulgent pursuit disconnected with any connection with other human beings, other than your own imagination and fantasy, which is often designed by you how you like it and not grounded in reality. The more you masturbate, the more conditioned you will be to pleasuring yourself whenever you like to relieve stress, and you will also become desensitized over time, craving more intense and extreme fantasies to reach the same level of high.
If you are a guy, you lose a lot of magnesium, which your body does not readily absorb from food or vitamins.
