Masturbation is deliberate self-stimulation that results in self-comfort or sexual arousal. When an adult or older teen masturbates their goal is commonly an orgasm (or more) which is defined as the highest point of sexual excitement, marked by strong feelings of pleasure and marked normally by ejaculation of semen by the male and by vaginal contractions within the female. Also called climax.

I'm not a female but from all my studies in human sexuality both textbook and groups of people, I'm of the mind masturbation is universal in that every human has done this with themselves: It is entirely normal.

No not at all. You get them but not drinking enough water, stress, if you get them easily wash your face after every meal or more, and not eating right.\nMasturbating does not cause pimples. Masturbation is a perfectly healthy activity, for girls and guys, for women and men. Some people may worry that masturbation is harmful because they've heard myths or stories — but they are not true. In fact, masturbation is one of the body's most effective ways to relieve stress.\n\nMost guys notice changes in their body, like facial hair growth and ejaculation, between the ages of 10-12. Most often the changes are complete by the age of 20. These changes are a part of puberty.\n\nPuberty is a time when hormones stimulate change in all parts of the body. Both guys' and girls' sweat glands will produce greater amounts of sweat and oil glands will produce greater amounts of oil. As a result, acne — pimples on the face and other parts of the body caused by bacteria and trapped oil — may appear.\n\nThe hormonal changes of puberty that cause acne also cause a greater interest in sex. At puberty, young men and women begin to have more sexual thoughts. Masturbation may be a teen's first sexual activity. It is important to remember that although increased masturbation may occur at a time when acne develops, masturbation does not make acne happen.\n\nAnd remember — there isn't a set amount of time that means a person is masturbating too much. Some people masturbate every day (sometimes more than once) while others do it twice a month. Some people don't masturbate at all. Every person is different

Masturbation is natural for humans sexual growth and satisfaction.  \n   \n   Many religions may disapprove of this practice, but I would say that many health experts would state that's its perfectly normal for developing children and completely acceptable for adults.

Masturbation is common in both males and females, but more so in males. The frequency depends on the individual but also by the opportunity. Many boys even masturbate in the restrooms at school. It is not good or bad, it is normal. Some boys can masturbate 8 to 10 times a day. High strung people tend to masturbate more frequently and strangely, less intelligent people tend to masturbate less frequently. Some people can masturbate without lubricant, others use soap, oils, or Vaseline but caution is needed to prevent irritation. Does it do any psychological harm? No, it is a normal part of development and as men age, those over 40 years often masturbate to obtain sexual gratification as their partner is unwilling, or the vaginal tissue is too flaccid to obtain ejaculation. The normal amount of ejaculate is about 5 ccs but varies with frequency.

Masturbation is widespread. Reportedly, some 97 percent of males and more than 90 percent of females have masturbated by the age of 21. Furthermore, this practice has been blamed for all manner of ills—from warts and red eyelids to epilepsy and mental illness.\n\nTwentieth-century medical researchers no longer make such alarming claims. Indeed, doctors today believe that no physical illness is caused by masturbation. Researchers William Masters and Virginia Johnson add that “there is no established medical evidence that masturbation, regardless of frequency, leads to mental illness.” Nevertheless, there are other ill effects! And many Christian youths are rightly concerned about the practice. “When I gave in to [masturbation], I’d feel as if I were failing Jehovah God,” wrote one youth. “I got seriously depressed sometimes.”\n\nMasturbation is deliberate self-stimulation to produce sexual arousal. During the bloom of youth, sexual desires become strong. Powerful hormones are released that affect the reproductive organs. A youth thus becomes aware that these organs are capable of producing pleasurable sensations. And sometimes a youth may become sexually excited without even thinking about sex.\n\nFor instance, the tensions produced by various worries, fears, or frustrations can affect a boy’s sensitive nervous system and cause sexual arousal. A buildup of semen may in turn cause him to awaken sexually excited. Or it may produce a nocturnal emission, usually accompanied by an erotic dream. Similarly, some young girls may find themselves stimulated unintentionally. Many have a heightened sexual desire just before or after their menstrual period.\n\nSo if you have experienced such arousal, there is nothing wrong with you. This is a normal response of a youthful body. Such sensations, even if very intense, are not the same as masturbation, since they are largely involuntary. And as you grow older, the intensity of these new sensations will subside.\n\nCuriosity and the novelty of these new sensations, though, lead some youths deliberately to manipulate, or play with, their sexual organs.\n\nThe Bible describes a young man who meets a promiscuous woman. She kisses him and says: “Do come, . . . let us enjoy each other with love expressions.” Then what happens? “All of a sudden he is going after her, like a bull that comes even to the slaughter.” (Proverbs 7:7-22) Obviously, this youth’s passions were aroused not simply because his hormones were at work but because of what he saw and heard.\n\nSimilarly, one young man admits: ‘The root of my whole problem with masturbation boiled down to what I put in my mind. I would watch TV programs that included immorality and in some cases watch programs on cable TV that would show nudity. Such scenes are so shocking that they stay with you. They would surface again in my mind, providing the mental fuel needed to engage in masturbation.’\n\nYes, often it is what one reads, watches, or listens to, as well as what one talks about or meditates on, that triggers masturbation. As one 25-year-old woman confessed: “I just couldn’t seem to stop the habit. However, I used to read romance novels, and this contributed to the problem.”\n\nThis young woman’s experience reveals what is undoubtedly the greatest reason why the habit can be so hard to break. She continues: “Usually I masturbated to release pressure, tension, or anxiety. That fleeting pleasure was like the drink the alcoholic takes to calm his nerves.”\n\nResearchers Suzanne and Irving Sarnoff write: “For some people masturbation may become a habit to which they turn for solace whenever they are rebuffed or feel apprehensive about something. Others, however, may withdraw in this way only occasionally, when they are under the most acute emotional stress.” Evidently, others similarly resort to the habit when upset, depressed, lonely, or under much stress; it becomes a “tranquilizer” to blot out th

Most young men do in fact masturbate but if a specific young man does not it's not a sign of any sort of problem.

As long as you dont get blisters, I think its perfectly normal. \n\nMasturbation is a daily part of our lives. Enjoy it before you get older and it just gets flaccid.

Masturbation is normal, healthy and fun! Your body will tell you when you are doing it too much. Unless you are obsessed with it and it's keeping you from doing other things (which is VERY unlikely!), enjoy it! Forget all that nonsense about side effects. There aren't any! To the contrary, there is more and more evidence it is good for your mental and physical health, especially as you get older. I've been doing it for over 50 years (really!) and I ain't blind yet. Enjoy (at any age!)

not sure what you are talking about not all girls have a liquid come out when they O. everyone is different, just take some time to learn about your own body and dont put to much stock in what your friends say. i am assuming that you are a teenager by your question and guess what, teenagers lie especially about sexual exploits.

Biologically, it's certainly possible.\n\nPsychologically, it's not as feasible.  An adult can be disciplined enough to abstain from such behavior (though this is difficult), but trying to get a teenager or pubescent youth to refrain from such activity is unreasonable.  There are too many hormonal changes occuring, and the feelings / experiences are too new.  I'd say if people are honest, the percentage of the human race that's ever gone their whole lives into adulthood without masturbating would be 1-2%, at best.

Yes!  Sometimes even at very young ages.  What isn't healthy is for a parent or an adult to tell a young one that it IS wrong...or he/she'll go blind etc.  At thirteen, the child should have had some sex ed in school and "the" talk with his/her parent and masturbating should be a part of that talk....Along with the explanation of sex and masturbation, should be a talk about the need to do so in privacy if/when it is done....and if it is a male...to clean up his mess...himself!
