Hello
Most people are very ignorant about self-pleasuring and will fill your head with myths and misinformation. Here are some scientific facts.
Almost everyone feels insecure about masturbation—or self-pleasuring. One of the reasons we’re so uncomfortable with it is because we don’t receive any accurate information, but rather grow up hearing lots of myths which are not supported by factual data. We all want to know that what WE do is OK. From your note, it looks like you feel that it’s somehow harmful or wrong. It sounds like you’re worried that self-pleasuring is some kind of “condition” or illness. Not true.
There are no data to indicate that self-pleasuring is in any way harmful.
Some people worry about “excessive masturbation." Actually, there's no such thing. Everyone is different, and everyone has differing sexual interests. There’s no optimum rate of self-pleasuring. For some of us, three times a day is just right, while for others, three times a year is all they desire—and everything in between.
Realize that your penis is sensitive, so be sure to use lots of lube so you don’t rub it raw. If you find that you’re self-pleasuring instead of reaching out to others, and you ARE, in fact, interested in relationships, you might examine what’s holding you back. But know that self-pleasuring isn’t the culprit here. In fact, it may be providing you with some comfort if you’re lonely.
Please stop worrying and enjoy your life. Accept self-pleasuring as a wonderful gift that keeps on giving.
Here are some facts about self-pleasuring:
It’s the surest way to orgasm and the most effective way to learn about our sexual response cycle, as well as the surest way men to learn orgasmic control. If you feel you come too quickly, the surest way to slow down is to teach yourself a new pattern via self-pleasuring.
Another advantage is self-knowledge: How can you show a partner what you like if you don’t know yourself?
And the #1 reason for self-pleasuring: it’s fun!
Self-pleasuring is a part of who you are sexually—for your whole life, not just when you don’t have a partner. People self-pleasure from birth to death, when they’re alone and when they’re partnered. It’s just one of many options we have as sexual beings. It’s not better or worse than partner sex, just different—like steak is different than chicken.
Remember that all our scientific data show that the people who take responsibility for their OWN pleasure have the best sex lives and rate themselves as happiest about their sexuality. Dr. J

Once you get into a REAL relationship it could be hard to please your significant other because you are building a habit now to jack off everyday. I would take a break from that for a while. And try to focus on something else. Most women to don't find it attractive for a man to be able to please himself.
