Who Masturbates?
Just about everybody. Masturbation is a very common behavior, even among people who have sexual relations with a partner. In one national study, 95% of males and 89% of females reported that they have masturbated. Masturbation is the first sexual act experienced by most males and females. In young children, masturbation is a normal part of the growing child's exploration of his or her body. Most people continue to masturbate in adulthood, and many do so throughout their lives.
Why Do People Masturbate?
In addition to feeling good, masturbation is a good way of relieving the sexual tension that can build up over time, especially for people without partners or whose partners are not willing or available for sex. Masturbation also is a safe sexual alternative for people who wish to avoid pregnancy and the dangers of sexually transmitted diseases. It also is necessary when a man must give a semen sample for infertility testing or for sperm donation. When sexual dysfunction is present in an adult, masturbation may be prescribed by a sex therapist to allow a person to experience an orgasm (often in women) or to delay its arrival (often in men).
Is Masturbation Normal?
While it once was regarded as a perversion and a sign of a mental problem, masturbation now is regarded as a normal, healthy sexual activity that is pleasant, fulfilling, acceptable and safe. It is a good way to experience sexual pleasure and can be done throughout life.
Masturbation is only considered a problem when it inhibits sexual activity with a partner, is done in public, or causes significant distress to the person. It may cause distress if it is done compulsively and/or interferes with daily life and activities.
Is Masturbation Harmful?
In general, the medical community considers masturbation to be a natural and harmless expression of sexuality for both men and women. It does not cause any physical injury or harm to the body, and can be performed in moderation throughout a person's lifetime as a part of normal sexual behavior. Some cultures and religions oppose the use of masturbation or even label it as sinful. This can lead to guilt or shame about the behavior.
Some experts suggest that masturbation can actually improve sexual health and relationships. By exploring your own body through masturbation, you can determine what is erotically pleasing to you and can share this with your partner. Some partners use mutual masturbation to discover techniques for a more satisfying sexual relationship and to add to their mutual intimacy.

Children (male and female) can begin masturbating at a young age - toddler/pre-school up to adolescence, depending on the individual. Most often, young children are exploring their bodies and learning about their body parts and accidentally discover that touching themselves is pleasurable.

There aren't any bad effects of masturbation and women just as much as men do so. Stats will vary though as from a young age people are told this is bad or dirty and women especially are taught this is not acceptable, therefore are typically even less forthright when asked about their level of masturbation.

there are normally no side effects to masterbation other than with a man it may make him have a hard time to stay hard during intercourse for a long period of time or with a woman it may be harder for to orgasim if she masterbates frequently.. so to answer ur other question yes woman masterbate just like men.. nothing wrong with it.. and to answer ur question most girls start to masterbate around the time they start their cycle or they may wait and start after they begin having sexual relationships.. but it's completely normal and there is nothing wrong with either sex having sexual relationships with themselves.. it's the easiest way not to get pregnant
