 Well, okay... firstly - yes. It's alright to do. As long as you're not hurting yourself and you are able to carry out your normal responsibilities (are you still doing well in school? Still socializing? Doing your chores?), that is!
But 10-12 times a day? Are you FINISHING 10-12 times a day, or just teasing yourself and "edging" throughout the day? Because finishing 10-12 times a day sounds perfectly exhausting. It must be more work than fun at that rate!! So like 'dirtball' I'd be curious if you are just having fun or if you feel the absolute need to masturbate 10-12 times. If you feel this is verging on compulsion and almost out of your control, then you may have a deeper problem than just enjoying your body. Good luck!

reader, anonymous, writes (21 January 2011): That does sound like a little much. I am a woman and perhaps not qualified to speak to a male perspective, but when I've had phases, the most I ever did it was 4 times a day. I didn't really "enjoy" it either. It started off as a relaxation technique, then became a procrastination technique, then it got in the way of day to day responsibilities. I ended up literally being late to functions because I felt compelled to do "just one more time" before I left. You are getting a chemical rush everytime you do it so in a sense, it is actually a sort of addiction.
Are you depressed? Are there other issues going on in your life? If you feel it's something you don't wholly enjoy and it gets in the way of your life, perhaps spend more time in public and among friends. Masturbation is a nice distraction, but it shouldn't be a crutch.

 10-12 times a day does seem compulsive. Do you feel an overwhelming urge to masturbate so much? I guess I'm asking if you're in control of your behavior or if the behavior controls you.

 Feel free to do it as often as you like, obviously in private. It's quite normal at your age.
