Hi. I'm 21 and i think I've been fingering too much. More like 2 to 3x a day. Is it normal? Will there be problem if I don't stop? Any suggestions on how to stop it? I've tried to do distract myself but I still end up doing it before sleeping. I've had sex before with a woman but we didn't touch our *yknow* just kissing and stuffs.

If you feel the urge/need (and you happen to be in a convenient place, of course!) then do it. In bed at night is extremely convenient. If say, half an hour to an hour pleasuring yourself helps you relax and unwind, and subsequently settle down to a peaceful and restorative night's sleep, great. Better than having your mind motoring-on and worrying, trying to come up with those 'distractions'....which will undoubtedly keep you awake. Obviously, if doing it is keeping you up all night, as it were, and depriving you of sufficient sleep then it's possible you'll feel a bit tired and lacklustre next day. That's about the only time one could say they were masturbating 'too much'. But staying awake all night watching movies, on the internet, or pursuing some hobby/interest/activity would have the same effect. It's lack of sleep that would be issue in any particular case, not the activity itself. So I'm not going to suggest ways to 'stop it'. Only thing you need to stop doing is worrying about it!

Fingering yourself two to three times a day is well within the realm of normal. Masturbation only becomes abnormal when it is all consuming. Meaning you would rather be home masturbating then doing anything else. Doing so two to three times a day is not nearly all consuming so relax and enjoy the relief you are receiving.
