Masturbation once a day isn't an addiction, to my mind. Nor even twice, it depends how horny you are, but it might also be telling of some sexual tenseness due to a disease, so if it could be that, you need it checked.

I see you're only eighteen and maybe you've not had sex with other people, just on your own, so the tenderness you're feeling could come from a number of things. Congestion has been suggested. You may, with too much force have ruptured something (in which case it needs to mend, which could be the urethra or some blood vessels (even small ones). Since the penis is very much innervated it'll feel very sensitive. Some rest might be a good idea.

Sometimes we pass stones through our urine (small crystals clusters formed in the kidneys which would become kidney stones (very uncomfortable, that) and that can chafe the lining of the urethra too (leading to some bleeding sometimes). Maybe check your intake of tea, coffee, chocolate and other things that can lead to kidney stones through uric acid (look it up online). Ask your doctor, anyway. Drinking plenty of water can help to pass the acid out and the stones too. Keep yourself hydrated.

If you have had sex with another person, it could be a sexually transmitted disease that needs to be seen to. You can get these from blow jobs as well as anal or vaginal sex, and even from someone with dirty hands handling your equipment so... (sorry for the grossness of this detail) especially if not using a condom (condoms generally keep these things from being transmitted)

That's all I can think of for the moment.

Some men have a really tight foreskin and masturbation can end up hurting them. Is that one of the problems? Quite honestly, unless you've been mishandling yourself quite badly (I mean over rubbing), it might be worth telling your doctor about it. They are used to hearing about these kinds of problems. If s/he thinks you're masturbating too much, s/he will let you know. Is there a GUM clinic where you are that you could consult privately?

I wasn't trying to comment on the frequency, but tissues in the human body don't heal in a matter of hours, and if something has been stretched or swollen, a break might be necessary.

Please delete due to political incorrectness. Oh how we love to be patronised.

Zennyboy, the penis is not a muscle (the heart is a muscle), though there are muscles around it supporting it, but it is an organ...

[Zennyboy]

Oh i do apologise, if we wish to take it beyond the contours of metaphors then, yes the penis is organ flesh. However like all things that get work out alot, it still aches afterwards... Better?

"The penis is NOT a muscle, it is simply organ tissue, like the tissue of your stomach or liver. The penis will not grow or shrink for excessive use or lack of use because it is not a muscle, the only growth that occurs is from the blood filling the spongy tissue upon erection. Also, since the penis is not a muscle, you can greatly damage the tissue by putting unnecessary pressure on it, such as is the case with the so called "exercises" and such devices as pumps."

[princealbertofb]

That sounds more like it Zennyboy... And now I think you are right. Too much pressure exerted on an organ can cause some hurt / bruising (in this case) and other problems where the tissue needs time to reconstruct.
