While sex isn’t generally a replacement for masturbation there’s something to be said for there being a world of difference between this many people not getting off at all vs just getting off every weekend but only via hook-ups and not self-pleasure.
Stress can also kill sex drive so there’s that but this seems kind of an extremely high number to be stress alone no matter how bad things are.
At the end of the day people lie about this kind of thing and I’m not sure this is a very good surveyor (playboy). A university survey would be more likely to get honest answers and be done in academically rigorous way that accounts for reasons.

I’m not so sure about the number being too high for stress to be considered.
Masturbation is also a coping mechanism for stress. Like eating or other compulsive behavior as a means of soothing anxiety.
I’m on SSRIs so I could reasonably just get away with not manhandling the ham candle
