Basically, masturbation is the stimulation of your genitals (penis or vagina) with your hand. Contrary to popular belief, masturbation does not necessarily always result in an orgasm (sexual climax).

Masturbation is not something that should be considered "bad" in most cases. For most men, it is a normal fact of life. During puberty, when a boy begins to become a man, there is an increase of sex hormones as well as other body changes. This can be a confusing time, and there is a lot of wrong information out there in the world regarding masturbation.

Masturbation tends to be a release for the sex drive when it becomes very powerful and the person feels the need to do something about this urge. It is not always appropriate or possible to have sex with another person, so masturbation can release the powerful sex drive without needing to have sex. For most young and unmarried people, masturbation is even more common since they are usually not married and often do not have a girlfriend or partner to have sex with. Masturbating for these reasons is actually healthy. There is also a lot of evidence that says adults continue to masturbate at times throughout their lives even if they are married. One reason for this is the fact that their partner is not always available when the powerful urges of the sex drive happens. Another reason may be that they are using masturbation to relieve excessive stress or anxiety. Since a sexual climax causes a person to feel relaxed afterwards, there are many different reasons why people choose to masturbate.

At age 14, you may not have yet developed enough to fully understand the concept of the powerful sex drive or sexual climax. That is very common -- Do not worry about it! If other people your age are talking about it, they are simply developing early. Some young men do not reach a full understanding of the sex drive and masturbation until they are 16 years old (or older). This is within the normal range of development. Everyone develops these things at different times. There is no exact "normal" or exact "average" age at which you are expected to understand or experience everything related to sex and masturbation.

Remember to give yourself time to grow and understand things. It often takes a while. If or when you need to know more, the best resources are printed books, but there are some useful websites on the Internet that fully explain sexuality and masturbation. If you come across things you don't understand on a website or in a book, there is no need to worry. Sexuality can be complex, and there are many things adults don't understand also.

If you begin to feel uncomfortable while reading about sex and masturbation, leave the website or put down the book. There is no need to force yourself to learn things or do things that you are not ready for yet. You can always research at a later date. Also, it is important to remember that people sometimes say strange things that are not quite true. Some of your friends / peers can be wrong about what they tell you.

Answer 3

Masturbation refers to sexual stimulation, especially of one's own genitals and often to the point of orgasm, which is performed manually, by other types of bodily contact (except for sexual intercourse), by use of objects or tools, or by some combination of these methods. Masturbation is the most common form of autoeroticism, and the two words are often used as synonyms, although masturbation with a partner (mutual masturbation) is also common.
Masturbation as sex overall, isn’t bad and unhealthy, at all!
Aside from the high pleasure or gratification that sex activity gives, while sexual climax, from masturbation or otherwise, leaves one in a relaxed and contented state, sex also is well-known to be healthy.

Answer 4

Masturbation is not bad at all and you shouldn't get scared. It is when a male or a female touch their private parts in order to pleasure themselves. You have nothing to be scared about. Everyone does it. If it becomes a problem for you, then you should take up another hobby that will take your mind off of doing this.
