Ivy921 answered Tuesday November 1 2005, 8:52 pm: Don't feel guilty or sick to your stomach. Why should you? are you hurting anyone? No. So many, in fact most people do it. Its the safest sex you can have. You are entitled to your own privacy and to feel good as well. So don't feel bad. You don't have to talk about it with others, this is your own thing. I know that its not really socially accepted that girls masterbate and its totally ok for guys, but I think its a sexist double standard that isn't true. Rationally think about it, if you do it and it feels good, don't you think other girls do it? Also, whats the harm?
Don't worry. [ Ivy921's advice column | Ask Ivy921 A Question ]
ScratchesOnTheWall answered Tuesday November 1 2005, 12:09 pm: God I remember feeling that way. Buy a few copies of Cosmopolitan, half the magazine is filled with talk of female masturbation. Or rent Sex and the City.
It's true that guys tend to be far more open and blase about it but women are getting there slowly but surely. I know I can talk about it with a couple of my close friends and as you get older you'll probably find that it becomes far less taboo as sensible people realise that a lot of women do actually (shock, horror, gasp) enjoy sex and do (stone the crows)get horny.
alisonmarie answered Tuesday November 1 2005, 4:04 am: Many women and girl feel this way about masturbation. Religion can influence people's ideas - and many religious systems discuss sex only in terms of marriage, making all other practices 'wrong.'
Society also tends to congratulate boys/men for having sex, masturbating, and generally conquering the sexual world. Women are not given the same messages. They are sometimes told they are there only to please men, and that they do not deserve sexual pleasure in their own right.
This is all crap. Infants often touch themselves, and around the age of 2 or 3 many toddlers engage in masturbation. They have found part of their body that makes them feel good, and they want to explore. Surely no one can say that a child this young is doing anything dirty, wrong, or sinful.
Masturbation is normal and healthy. It may even help you later in life when you start having sex with a partner. If you know what you like, it's easier to tell someone else. And if you're comfortable with your body and your sexual feelings, so much the better!

GDROB2 answered Monday October 31 2005, 11:18 pm: Hon, you are not doing anything dirty or wrong or unclean or not natural. Doctors and educators will tell you it's common among teenagers and girl's especially with most of her sexual stimulation and excitement coming from clitoral orgasms.
A lot of girls do not climax or feel anything from sex. You are not going to go to hell, blind etc. You feel guilt because of what you were taught by others. Children do it, teens, adults, seniors, fetuses have been seen in ultra-sounds doing it. Face it, if you were not supposed to touch it your hands would be built far away from it.
It is supposed to feel good during and after. As far as feeling sick I have no idea why or how to recommend stopping that.
There is nothing at all shameful about masturbating it is better than getting pregnant from sex. Being a virgin is a good thing too. It's about when you are ready. The right guy for sex and or a boyfriend will come.
It is normal to enjoy masturbation and it's nrmal to feel that but not to feel nauseated over it. I bet you 99% of guys you know do it and 70% of girls. The rest are religious or lying most of the time. Bottom line: It's about your body and learning for it and your choice nobody else's who cares what they think?

powertrash answered Monday October 31 2005, 8:49 pm: It's completely normal. Society has a double standard--it's okay for guys to do it, but if a girl masturbates or has sex, she's a "slut." It's stupid that girls feel that way and we shouldn't. But so many girls feel that way so it's completely normal.
It's okay to recognize yourself as a sexual being. It's okay to be female and in touch with your sexuality. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Some good sites that made me, personally, feel better about my sexuality is "woman's sexual health" sites. They go through and discuss what's normal for girls and women and how your body works--and how it is nothing to be ashamed of, regardless of public opinion. A good one is www.the-clitoris.com. It's not porn. It's a really, really good site.
Women can be sexual beings. That doesn't mean I'm advocating sex. I'm advocating being comfortable with your vagina, as weird as that sounds. Just know you're female and know the history of being female and know that it is okay for you to be in touch with your sexual side and that it is something you should be proud of having.
/rant
Anyway, it's completely normal. Everything you feel is normal. Sorry if I ranted too long, I just feel as if the world shuns sexuality...and it is NOTHING to be ashamed of. [ powertrash's advice column | Ask powertrash A Question ]

Sherry answered Monday October 31 2005, 5:09 pm: I read somewhere 40-60% of women masturebate, but never talk about it. Compared to the 90% of guys that do, and talk about it too. It's normal. Dont worry about it, I just wouldent tell anyone or talk about it openly because you'll probably be looked upon as weird or something. Thats just how it is for girls, so yeah.
