compulsive masturbation are real things - something I've dealt with most of my life.

Porn addiction is one thing I guess... But I feel like people need to stop beating themselves up (heh) about masturbating often. It's a bodily function and it's healthy.

People aren't "addicted" to blowing their nose, sneezing, farting, scratching their armpits, etc

"Masturbating often" isn't the issue here. It's 4+ hour long sessions 5+ times a week.
