I'm not sure if this is a serious thread or not.
But, if it is..
I sometimes come across clients with this dilemma. More often, it's with intercourse-- a sexual addiction cycle, which is a bit different, but very similar in many ways.
I would first advise you to try going five days without masturbation. Remain aware of how you feel during this time. Are you anxious? Are you depressed? Etc.
If you complete this task, without feeling abnormal, then I would say this: Masturbation at any frequency is perfectly normal, AS LONG AS, it doesn't interfere with daily functioning, and you aren't physically harming yourself (rubbing yourself raw).
If during this five day period, you feel anxiety etc etc etc, then I MIGHT be inclined to call it a sexual addiction. In this case I would NOT advise you to stop cold turkey, or at all for that matter. You said four times a day? That makes tweny eight times a week. Slowly (weekly) decrease that amount by about two times, so at the end of X amount of weeks you're only doing it around ten times a week.
I'm not YOUR therapist, but if there is a deeper internal drama driving this large frequency, you may want to seek therapy.
Good luck!
