Delicate question to answer. But simply, it is when a person stimulates herself sexually, usually with her hands, or a vibrator, . As to how to do it, I think its something a person figures out by herself. Each person is different, and what feels good to one person may not be the same as another. It is often frowned upon because it is a solitary activity, and sexuality is best experienced with a stable partner who loves you.

Masturbation is when a person sexually pleasures him/herself. For a guy this is when you rub your penis until you ejaculate. This is called orgasm. For girls it's a bit harder to discern exactly when you've had an orgasm. But when you've had one, you'll know that you have. Girls usually do not have any outward signs as much as a male does. For males, a thick, whitish to clear fluid comes out of the penis (called sperm). For females there is usually just a bit more wetness in the vaginal area. For a female to start masturbating she has to be aware of a few anatomical areas of her own body. One area is the clitoris (clit for short). This is the raised area that sits between the two lips of the vagina. When stimulated the clit becomes swollen and tender to the touch. If rubbed (you'll have to figure out how you like it) you can sometimes achieve orgasm from it. Another area is the vaginal canal. If you trail your finger down from your clit there is a hole. This is the vaginal opening. If you insert a finger or two into it this is the vaginal canal. In the vaginal canal about 2 inches to 3 inches there is a raised bump that feels like a peach pit almost on the surface that is toward the front. This is the "g-spot" and can also be used to achieve orgasm. The best way for you to find out what you like is to try it out. Also, some things can be used to help you in masturbation, such as a vibrator.

if you're in gymnastics just do a split in your living room carpet and spin around, the friction will give you amazing carpet burns... that's how you do it... at least that's how i do it. learned it from my dog. i saw him dragging his butt on the ground when i was a kid, so i followed him doing the same thing, and presto! anyway, that was back in good ol' D.C. where my dad used to work for the FDA. he had an important job directing the enforcement and regulation of the dietary facts on the sides of foods which were grain based.

Masturbation can be defined as self-stimulation to cause sexual sensations. The use of the word masturbation usually suggests that the person is manipulating his or her genitals to the point of intense pleasure or orgasm. (Orgasm refers to a period of intense excitement in which genital muscles enter in to a series of highly pleasurable contractions or movements.)
While masturbation can involve another person, most of us think of it as a very private act. According to some health care providers masturbation allows a healthy way to express and explore your sexuality and to release sexual tension without all the associated risks of sexual intercourse. Health professionals generally agree that this private touching is a natural, normal mode of self-exploration and sexual expression. Unfortunately, after the excitement of the moment has passed, many people find themselves filled with guilty and or shame.
Why all this guilt and shame? Actually, from American History
A little bit of American history:
Our attitudes about masturbation have deep roots for sure. Around the turn-of-the-century, some adults were so against masturbation that they forced their daughters to wear gloves made of a steel-wool-like material (like Brillo pads) at night and to put a powder on their genitals that made them painful to touch. They made their sons wear metal chastity belts at night that made it painful to have an erection. During the 1820s, some parents prevented male masturbation by piecing the foreskin with a wire and soldering the ends together. Boys and girls were discouraged from masturbation by the threat of blindness, madness and illness. Of course, none of these masturbation-induced maladies proved true.
The subject of masturbation was taboo years before the United States was created. All kinds of chastity belts and other devices were used to prevent masturbation, probably as far back in history as you can go. This will vary from culture to culture.
The Truth?
Most surveys suggest that approximately 94% of teenage males "admitted" that they masturbated and about 70% of teen females "admitted" to this also. It’s always hard to establish absolute truth in any survey on sexuality and sexual behavior, since they are influenced so much by what people think is "normal". It is important to note the word "admitted" in the results of these surveys. Doesn't that word imply something shameful about the act of masturbating? We think so. This leads us to believe that we are still suffering from the residual Victorian morals when boys and girls were discouraged from masturbating.
Teaching Masturbation? Yes, Believe it or Not!
In the 1970s and 1980s, a woman named Betty Dodson, Ph.D., achieved much fame from her approach to masturbation. She actually held classes for women to teach them how to masturbate. Dodson believed women needed to overcome certain degrees of repression instilled by the church. She taught women to "celebrate” their bodies. She thought masturbation should celebrated, rather than induce guilt. Dodson made the point that masturbation needed to be celebrated, and not allowed to create guilt. Dodson admitted that overcoming guilt was very difficult—for men and women, especially when the guilt was instilled by the voice of their mothers at an early age. Mothers told children not to touch themselves “down there” and shame on the family whose child did so in public.
For many people the consequence of our mothers' or fathers' difficulty with our innocent sexuality when we were toddlers and infants may be the reason that the experience and enjoyment of our own bodies is taken away from us, or we are still allowed (made) to feel ashamed in some way when we feel pleasure from exploring our own bodies.
Even More Taboo...
In 1994 Dr. Jocelyn Elders—the second woman appointed to the position of U.S. Surgeon General— lost her job as Surgeon General because she dared to say that masturbation should actually be taught in schools. We think her mistake was when she said, "It's practicing for sex." She never implied that a method of masturbation be taught... or did she?
