ELI5: Masturbation.

Ok, so animals are humans and such. Animals have mating seasons. Why do I jerk off 3-4 times a day? Shouldn't it be a specific month when I get really horny and such?

Humans have no specific mating season, at least not in the regular sense of the word. Technically speaking, human's mating season is every month , for about 8 days, when the woman is ovulating. However, as we also evolved sex as a mean of bonding, our mating season becomes every day all day.

Something similar happens in Dolphins, except they have a separated reproductive mating season and then regular, non-reproductive sex for bonding purposes. Coincidentally enough, Dolphins are also known to masturbate and even rape.
