Short answer is yes. There is nothing wrong with masturbation. Fact is you have probably been doing so since you were an infant. Most babies rock themselves,especially boys. Why because it feels good. The rocking rubs their penis or causes the diaper to rub their vagina and it feels good. This is a form of masturbation.At this age parents think it is cute.
When you get older the need to masturbate comes back as your hormones kick in at puberty. I cannot tell you why parents tell their children it is wrong to masturbate. Especially when you consider that according to a recent survey 85% of us masturbate.
That is rights right one or both of your parents masturbate, although they won't admitted to you if you were to ask. Most adults masturbate as part of foreplay to sexual intercourse. Yes your parents still have sex. Masturbation prior to sexual intercourse is usually called mutual masturbation were one partner masturbates the other.
This survey also pointed out that none of the organized religions, including the Catholic church condemns masturbation. Remember there is a difference be condemning and condoning.
None of the religious organizations came right out and condoned masturbation but none of them condemned it as a sin. This leads me to conclude that the biggest problem parents have with masturbation is. That the Churches and Temples as well as parents; see masturbation as a prelude to entering the world of sexual activity.
I have probably given you more information then you asked for. Since you did ask if it was okay to masturbate I felt it was incumbent to go a little further. As a parent I would prefer my children masturbate to relieve and explore the world of sex. So as to put off having sex before they are truly mature enough for sex. The biggest problem with this is your bodies mature before you do. Masturbation helps you put off having sex until you and your body are at the same point of maturity.

It is perfectly natural to be curious about ones body. From what I have read and understand, it's when young ones go through puberty when their hormones change and causes these strange "sensations" in their bodies. It's nothing to be ashamed of. Though it's not something you talk about to friends or anyone. You are merely growing up and your hormones are changing. So don't worry about it.
