Brief Answer:
Doing masturbation two times in a week is normal

Detailed Answer:
Hi XXXX,
Thanks for writing in to us.

I have read through your query in detail.
Please find my observations below.

1. Masturbation is a safe individual sexual activity if done within limit. A normal person at your age can masturbate 2 to 3 times in a week.

2. If you do it twice in a week then it is normal. There is no need to worry and you will not have any problems in future if you continue doing it.

3. Please do slow masturbation and do not masturbate more than once daily. It brings down stress levels in young people and you can continue doing masturbation 2 times in a week. There is nothing wrong if you do masturbation within limit.

Hope your query is answered.
Please do write back if you have any doubts.
