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.

Yes, almost all men and women maturbate soemtime or the other, mostly when they explore their bodies around the time of puberty, and get satisfaction out of it. There is nothing gross or unnatural about it and one neednt feel ashamed, as long as it doesnt become an obsession. Generally a normally healthy person would have something else to keep him occupied and mastubation is resorted to occasionally. It tapers of as one grows older but men and women do continue to masturbate even after they grow pretty old, for a variety of reasons. The process involves self-gratification by manipulating the sensitive parts of ones genitals by oneself or with the use of some external objects.

Yes. Masturbation is a natural thing for all animals (especially humans). When we were kids, all kids masturbate until our parents tell us not to do it.
Then while growing up, many people think masturbation isn't appropriate but it works wonder for your body. When human masturbate, certain hormones are produced (naturally) that helps our body in many ways.

Yes, yes it is.
From all ages. Okay, not ALL ages. More like 14+.
A lot of people refrain from doing it or from admitting masturbation because of religious reasons.

The word is masturbation and it is perfectly normal. For a man he strokes his penis until he orgasms and for a women she either rubs her clitoris until she orgasms or inserts a object in and out of the vagina until she orgasms. Exploring your own body is the only way you can even have a clue what feels good to you and what makes you orgasm so that when are ready to have intercourse with someone you can tell them what you like and don't like.
