And why?
It is important to masturbate because it teaches you what brings you pleasure and what it feels like to get aroused and have an orgasm. When you eventually start having sexual intercourse, that knowledge will help you have a more satisfying experience.
The most popular ways are fingers, vibrator, dildo, Shower Massage, bathtub faucet, and humping a pillow. Most people start in their teen years, but a lucky few get started as early as 5 or 6 when they discover it by accident.
solidadvice4teens answered Thursday March 24 2011, 9:31 am: It's pretty much a universal thing with your age group. Both males and females do it. Roughly 85% of males of all ages do it and 70% of females of all ages from toddlers on up.
It's normal and healthy so long as it doesn't occupy all your time. Your friends are doing it but not talking about it as girls are more discreet than boys.
Your parents pretty much suspect you and your siblings do it anyways as most young people do. As long as you find it pleasuarable and are private about it no harm can come from it as it's safe and natural.
Regardless of the situation if something concerns you or you need more info on it seek out an older person you trust about it. You shouldn't feel guilty, ashamed etc. about something the majority of socety does. You can bet your mother, siblings and other women you know and trust did this at your age too.

helperman27 answered Monday March 21 2011, 3:28 pm: Masturbation is not harmful to you in anyway and is a perfectly natural act done by men and women everyday. Some religions will preach that it is immoral and if that is why you feel guilty then search your heart for what you feel is right. I can tell you from my experience that masturbation in moderation does not neccessarily have to be a sinful act. If you still consider sinful or dirty then forgive yourself!!! It's a natural thing to explore and your still loved by your family and God. [ helperman27's advice column | Ask helperman27 A Question ]

Its private, and if you enjoy it then why let it bother you! Many people ACT disgusted by the topic purely in fear of humiliation themselves. many girls do it yet they often wont admit it. Dont worry! :D [ strawbs101's advice column | Ask strawbs101 A Question ]
julie75 answered Thursday March 17 2011, 2:49 pm: When I was your age, I was playing with myself 2 or 3 times a day....so, yes it's perfectly normal. I went to my older sister for a lot of advice and wisdom about that and other things that I was scared to ask my mom about. I just wonder if you feel guily after you've had an orgasm or just during the act. I can uderstand the guilty feelings after you "O" because your body has pleasure but your mind sometimes thinks that you didn't deserve it. Just try to let your mind relax and enjoy yourself. If you have any other questions, please feel free to ask. I hope this helps and good luck [ julie75's advice column | Ask julie75 A Question ]
nikz answered Thursday March 17 2011, 10:14 am: it's completly normal to masturbate almost every girl does it i'm sure you mum or sister have too however i don't think you should speak to them about it because masturbation is really personal and it would be really awkward for you to discuss this with them but you shouldn't feel guilty it's a normal healthy part of life [ nikz's advice column | Ask nikz A Question ]
adviceman49 answered Thursday March 17 2011, 8:17 am: Hi, I am old enough to be your grandfather and hopefully the wisdom of my age and what I am about to impart will allow you to feel better about masturbating.
Let me start by saying masturbation is totally normal. Most teenagers masturbate, be they boys or girl, to relieve the sexual tension brought on by the hormonal changes brought on by puberty. A recent report relates that as many as 90% of the population masturbate. Now this would include adults as well as teenagers and such acts as mutual masturbation, hand jobs, fingering and oral sex. One could define masturbation or mutual masturbation as any sexual activity other than intercourse. Males, especially teenage males, need to relive sexual tension more than females do. Masturbation is a natural way to relive this tension.
Most religions including the Catholic Church condone masturbation; if this is so why do parents and church elders tell children it is wrong to masturbate? The only reason I can think of is the pleasure received from masturbating leads to wanting the pleasure of actual intercourse. In a sense there is a double standard here. As mutual and some people even use single masturbation as a form of foreplay, adults are telling children that something they do on a regular basis is wrong. Well if it is wrong or sinful for the children, would it not be wrong for the adults.
What my wife and I told our children is that masturbation or mutual masturbation is a safe way to satisfy desire without the chance of anyone getting pregnant. There is nothing dirty or disgusting about masturbation; it is a safe way to satisfy a natural urge. The only time masturbation is wrong is when the urge to masturbate precludes doing everything else.
I’m not sure what your parents would say if you asked them. I would hope they would say as I told my children. Depending on how old your brother and sister are the only reason they would laugh, and they shouldn’t is because they masturbate also. Masturbation is a very private thing; something you should do in the privacy of your bedroom with the door locked so you are not disturbed.
Masturbation is totally normal and done in private so that you can get total enjoyment from it. It is also a sexual act and there are very few people who like to have sex in full view of others. Masturbation like sex is not dirty or sinful. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
