Hi and thanks for writing in. It is certainly not unusual for a 13 year old to masturbate every day. Biologically speaking, I don't see any reason why you should not be ejaculating. Boys are able to ejaculate often well before 13. However, we all develop at different rates and how/when we enter puberty has a lot to do with our ability to ejaculate. It is also possible that masturbating every day has made it kind of routine for you and it is possible that you are not "crossing the line" into a level of stimulation that will trigger ejaculation. I would suggest a couple of things to try. First, try not pleasuring yourself for a couple of days. This will often allow your body to be more sensitive when you do it again. Then, try using a lotion or creme. That often will help keep the pleasurable feelings going longer. Sometimes, the time of day has an impact as well. If you regularly masturbate during the day, try doing it in the early morning when your hormone levels are higher; or even at night before you go to bed.
Most of all, I recommend that you not worry about this. It's not a requirement that you have to ejaculate when you masturbate. I'm sure that if you give yourself time, it will happen. Your body has it's own timetable for developing and it knows exactly what to do - even if we don't!
So relax and take care.
