Masturbation (or touching yourself) is a very private and
personal thing. There is no right or wrong way to feel
about. It can not harm you physically in any way, but if you
personally do not feel like it is OK for you, that is fine.
There are a lot of people who do masturbate, and a lot of
people who do not masturbate. Either way, is normal. It is
just a matter of figuring out what is right for you, and
what you are comfortable with in terms of your religion. I
hope that helps!

okay, i just turned 14 and ive been touching myself(i hate
the word "masturbate") for a few months. when i was 13 i
stole(i was into shoplifting for a couple months) a
vibrator. i used it and it felt good but i felt so dirty so
i threw it away. i said i wouldnt do it again but i heard
some guys talking about girls using highlighter pens so i
tried it and it felt really good. now i feel discusting.
should i feel this way? my religion is against it. and i
have/will never discuss this with my mom.
i started off young as well

I'm Christian and I do it. Sometimes I feel as though I
shouldn't be doing it. I feel ashamed but,great at the same
time. I've been doing it since i was little, I didn't know
what it was called back then,but when I found out what it
was I felt weird that I had been doing it.but, I feel a
little more comfortable now.

Masturbation is a very personal thing, and only you
can
decide if it is right for you. It is normal if you do,
and
normal is you do not. It can't harm you in any
way
physically, but some people do have religious or
moral
beliefs that are against masturbation. I would
suggest
getting all the facts you can, and looking at your
own
beliefs and then make a decision that is right for you!
Wondering.

i started young, maybe 8 or 9.
not vaginal, clitoral.
me and
my younger sister one day ended up discussing it and she's
the only person that knows.
i always feel so ashamed of
myself afterwards.
and when someone asks if i do, i always
say NO and have guilty thoughts about lying.
but hey, its a
personal thing.
i dont think i'll ever be able to be open
about it.
i'll admit it...

i do it...all the time...but of course, i'm definitely not
comfy telling anyone about it out loud...my guy friends tell
me about how they masturbate all the time and i never even
think about mentioning the fact that i do it...even when one
of them said it was ok if i did....but i think i'll
eventually reach a point when i can admit it to anyone who
asks....
I got to try this again

I've done this before in my younger days, but never got an
orgasm. Maybe i should do it a little bit softer this time.
Im a little ashamed though but im still goin to try it!!!!
