I masturbate twice a day and when masturbating, sometimes I use oils or shampoo. Is there any problem with masturbating 2 or 3 times a day, or any side effects of using oils or shampoo?

Thank you for your great question. Masturbation frequency varies from person to person. As long as the masturbation is not interfering with your daily activities and the skin on your genitals is not getting irritated, red, or breaking down, then there should not be a problem with masturbating multiple times a day. It is essential to use a lubricant to help prevent friction and genital skin breakdown, blisters, or calluses.
Oils and shampoo are okay for masturbation as long as you are not experiencing genital irritation and the masturbation does not lead to penile-vaginal sexual intercourse. Shampoo and oils should not be used as lubricants for vaginal play or with latex contraceptives. These substances can cause vaginal irritation and infection; they also break down latex contraceptives.
A variety of lubricants exist today. The main categories are water-based lubricants, oil-based lubricants, silicone lubricants, organic lubricants, and specialty lubricants. Silicone and oil-based lubricants tend to be slipperier and last longer than water-based lubricants. However, water-based lubricants are easier to wash off and can be less irritating. Silicone lubricants should not be used with silicone sex toys since they tend to change the surface integrity of the toy. Some people use organic or natural lubricants that are made without parabens because they are irritated by or allergic to the chemicals in other lubricants. Specialty lubricants include flavored lubricants, warming lubricants, and heightening lubricants. They contain a variety of ingredients and are generally for external genital use. Caution should be taking in using lubricants that have sugar or glycerin in them. If used near the vagina, these lubricants can cause yeast infections in women.
