Welcome to The Man Talk Show. I'm Connor Veeton and today I'm going to do a little bit of Q&A here.

It's going to be a short episode, but this is a question from a man on Instagram.

I said, I have a question. What do you think of men who masturbate a lot and how can a man avoid this from happening so much? So I get this question a lot and

there's many different forms of it. What are you considered too much masturbation? How do I know if I'm
