Any thing that has 'mass' has 'gravity'. So, we definitely have gravity. g = GM/r^2, where G is universal gravitational constant having value 6.6742 x 10^(-11) N m^2/Kg^2, m is your mass and r is the distance from the object on which you exert gravitational force. As, we have very less mass so effective gravity of us is very less to be actually felt. But very heavy bodies like planets and stars have appreciable amount of gravity.

Yes anything that has mass has gravity.
A cool way to think of gravity is:
Think of the universe and space as a trampoline.
Place a 10 pound bowling ball anywhere on the trapoline
and the fabric will bend towards the ball
now place a 1 pound bowling ball near it
the 1 pound bowling ball will rotate around the curvature or the curve the bowling ball makes much like the earth rotating around the sun. if you place a marble near the 1 pound bowling ball
the amrble will rotate around the curve that the 1 pound bowling ball creates like the moon and the earth.

We all hold an amount of gravity but it is very minute when compared to larger scales.

Anything that has mass has gravity. And with more mass comes more gravity. That's why large planets have more gravity and why people have a very extremely small amount of gravity.

Human beings don't produce their own gravity. We don't draw things toward us. The Earth has a gravitational force that keeps us put.

No duh.

Why do you think when your girl is on top of you, she stays like that until she gets up?
