First, let's define what masturbation is:MASTURBATION is when a person touches, rubs, caresses or massages their sex parts for pleasure - their penis if they are a boy, or their vulva, labia and clitoris if they are girl. Pleasure means that it feels good to them and that they like it very much.
Masturbation can be something a person does alone, in private, or it can be something that two people do to each other. Masturbation is always something done in private, never in public, whether alone or with a friend or family member.
There are lot's of other names for masturbation, like "playing with yourself" or "jerking off". It used to be a subject that people could not talk about and that some people thought was wrong or harmful. Today we know that it is not "dirty", "bad" or harmful at all. We also know that it is a very normal thing for people of all ages to do. Babies do it, children your age do it, teenagers do it, grownups do it, and even older people do it. There ARE some people who don't want to masturbate, and that is normal, too.
These are some of the things we know about masturbation:
The penis,
scrotum, vulva, vagina, labia and clitoris each have thousands of tiny nerve
endings near the surface of the skin. These nerve endings, when touched,
send signals to the brain to feel pleasure.
