5 times a week, especially if you are in your 20s and 30s. At this age, frequent ejaculation can reduce your chances of prostate cancer by as much as 95%.
If you can't have sex that often, masturbate. I hear way too often from men that they don't masturbate, and honestly masturbation helps keep the circulation flowing to your little friend and keeps your prostate functioning well.
And you won't go blind, I promise

Is that how you keep your prostate healthy? LOL
what if your 50+..How often should one masturbate?...I cant imagine 5 times a week..LOL
Are you having trouble performing when you do get a chance to masturbate or have sex? If not, you are probably good with a couple times a week, the point is to not let it build up and to keep the circulation to that area flowing. The best way to keep it healthy is to use it as often as you can.
If you are having trouble performing, are you on meds, like for BP of cholesterol or anti-depressants? All of these can affect your performance so talk to your doctor about changing meds if at all possible to something that doesn't affect your desire or performance.

good advice , but I read somewhere that men over 50+ should only be ejaculating once a week, whereas men who are under 30 can suirt approx 5-6 days a week.....And if men who are over 40 and try to EJ ....5-6 days a week ,this can lead to OVERUSE and impotence where the penis just does a "shutdown"
I have never, ever heard that, and I spent some time this morning looking at research to see if I could find something to support whatever you were told or read, and I couldn't find a thing...in fact most everything I looked through said basically "use it or lose it"!
Now, excessive masturbation (5-6 times a day) can be problematic: it can make it harder for you to enjoy sex with a partner and it can cause cognitive problems, but typical masturbation, for men and women, is good for you.
