How do you, personally, decide where the boundary between healthy and obsessive is?

It seems to me that people throw around the term “obsessive” a lot these days. Some people have various fetishes—collecting things, engaging in a hobby or sport, making love in a certain way—that others will happily label as “obsessive.” In a question about how many times a day you masturbate, one person opined that 3–5 times a day was obsessive.
What is your personal basis for determining when something crosses the line into obsession? Your own experience? Some notion of general experience. Where do you, personally, get these ideas? How do you decide how to apply them?
