everytime i masturbate [which isn't often], I feel so much shame.
I'm 14 and I just feel like masturbation is wrong - yet I can't help it when I have hormones. What should I do? Should I keep masturbating and keep it a secret from my mom, or just stop because I feel ashamed?

I went to a teen site and found out that just about every teen does it and your probably feeling shame because it's something you wouldnt want to discuss with your mom. If you want you can stop but it's totally natural! [ Jessilynn's advice column | Ask Jessilynn A Question ]

Its really not a good idea.Because to be honest,she probalby already knows.Look, there is nothing wrong wit masturbation. It is normal and healthy. Any doctor will tell you that.I understand you feel tons of shame but dont focus on that.Its not like doing drugs or drinking.Not even close.Just dont worry about it.Our parents cant expect us to wait to feel sexual pleasure when all of our hormones are jumping around.=] [ cherry01's advice column | Ask cherry01 A Question ]

Melody answered Tuesday August 22 2006, 10:22 pm: Usually most girls don't feel a bit of shame while masturbating, but after they reach an orgasm, they feel loads of shame. I guess the shame comes from the old saying "It's so fun it should be a crime" Which some people consider it to be. Your hormones are raging, and masturbating is not wrong. It's a way to alleviate stress and if anyone gives you any trouble over it, just tell them better you than another guy or something. Masturbating isn't something you usually share with your mom, and it's most likely something your mom wouldn't want you to share to begin with. So just do what you feel is right. If you feel you should quit, go for it. But just remember, it being wrong is a personal opinion that everyone needs to make for themselves. [ Melody's advice column | Ask Melody A Question ]
sassysara answered Tuesday August 22 2006, 8:04 pm: Any person over the age of 16-17 who says they do not or have never masturbated are LYING!!! Every person on the face of the earth has tried it. It is not wrong it is totally normal. Look at it this way if it were wrong why would it feel so good and be so natural???
If you feel that your mom would not understand then you don't have to tell her, if you are in the privacy of your own room then it really is no one's business but your own. I would hope though that if you have a good relationship with your mom that you talk to her and be open and honest she would much rather be the one to talk to you about this then having someone else do the job for her!! Trust me I am a mom!
Polo1027 answered Tuesday August 22 2006, 7:26 pm: Masturbation in no way is wrong or shameful. I think that you should probably keep masturbating and if you don't want your mom to know that your desition <sp> to make whether you want her to know or not but even if she did know she wouldn't bother you about it or anything. You are exploring your body. [ Polo1027's advice column | Ask Polo1027 A Question ]
