I would just like to say, it is completely normal. But another aspect of this topic is how will it effect you. Correct me if I am wrong, but in my experience I have heard of "desensitization" meaning a boy or girl who is casually doing such activities will become desensitized. When your grown you will need some type of porn to assist you. As the typical male/female will seem lame and boring.
Can anyone else, expand on this?

The answer to your question is yes. This is true at pretty much any age but often even more of the case in the teenage years because you have a lot of hormones working and are coming into your own in terms of sexual development.
Technically, the porn is not unusual either but it is important that you don't let such imagery and video become something of an addiction or affect your relationships with others.
I am a major believer in the mantra "everything in moderation." For example, having an ice cream cone once in a while is fine, but eating a half gallon tub every few days, or worse yet, every day, is not very healthy.
So basically, don't worry about if you are normal or not because you're just fine. The only thing you have to remember is not to allow it to get to the point that it becomes so distracting that you can't focus on other things and people.
Hope that is helpful.

Most boys your age masturbate 3 to 4 times a day. Generally while watching porn or looking at porn magazines. It is absolutely normal and healthy for you to do so.
Okay if I'm telling you it is normal then why might your parents be telling you the opposite. Simple, and just for the record I'm old enough to be your grandfather. Parents tell their children masturbation is bad or a sin because it does feel good. In fact it feels so good that they fear you will want to have real sex and that scares them that you will have sex before you are mature enough to handle it.
As parents this is our greatest fear. Parents of the boy worry about the boy getting some girl pregnant and of course the girls parents worry their daughter will get pregnant. Of course their are way to prevent pregnancy and to teach safe sex. To do so though would be as much as giving permission to have sex therefore most parents don't do that.
So relax and continue to masturbate when you feel the need. Masturbation is a safe and satisfying way to relieve sexual tension.

Absolutely normal that you do it, and absolutely normal that you enjoy doing it. There isn't a normal or usual amount of times to do it either. So if you find you do it less often some weeks, or a lot more some weeks that's fine. Whenever you feel the urge or need. As for viewing porn, well us guys do masturbate when we watch it. I doubt that any guys watch porn video/movies in the same way that we might watch a regular movie or TV show. They don't really have a plot or storyline do they? Just eye-candy! All your saying here are perfectly appropriate ways for a normal and healthy young guy to deal with his normal and healthy urges and needs. And enjoy it too. You got no worries mate. You're absolutely fine, I promise you.
