Masturbating, is it normal?!?

Question

Is it perfectly normal for a 13 year old guy to m********e? haha. I've always wondered, so I don't feel.. guilty? I don't know.

Answer 1

yes perfectly in fact if you didn't that would be the time to worry

Answer 2

course it is...I might be a girl but I still started at 10

Answer 3

Normal, healthy and pretty much universal. If you don't start sooner, you usually do when you're old enough for your hormones to start pressuring you to have s*x and make babies.  Masturbating is just a safe, harmless alternative.  Nothing to feel guilty about, Tiger, it's your body and your s*x drive.  Do it all you want or need to.  Enjoy.

PLEASE read this, and be sure to read it ALL THROUGH - the beginning is a bit confusing:

As you see, you really shouldn't be feeling guilty. Masturbating is perfectly safe at any age - some baby boys are born with erections - the capacity for arousal is always present. Once I discovered masturbation when I was 10 I did it every night, and it's always been one of the best aspects of my whole life.

By the time I was 13 all my friends at school were masturbating; we used to love showing each other the outline of our erections through our pants! That was a boys' school, and we might have behaved differently if there had been girls around.

It's very good for your health too - this is from Wikipedia:

"A 1997 study in the British Medical Journal based upon 918 men age 45-59 found that after a ten year follow-up, men who had fewer orgasms were twice as likely to die of any cause as those having two or more orgasms a week."

You can see how this makes sense - when you m********e your heart beats faster, and your breathing speeds up. Since the heart and lungs are two of the most important organs in the body, any safe activity that exercises them is good for your general health.

Other studies have found that frequent masturbation reduces the risk of prostate cancer - a doctor who studied the evidence recommended that teenagers m********e at least six times a week.

There are many different techniques -

Some of the techniques in the "expert" section are a bit strange - you should heed any warning to be careful, and be sure to keep everything clean. We are all different, and respond to different types of stimulus, but there are a certainly a lot of ideas here.

So yes, completely normal, and PLEASE don't feel guilty - ENJOY :-)

Answer 13

Yes.  I have heard of no harm from masturbation if kept in reason.  Some have in the past pointed to a Biblical prohibition on spending your seed on the ground.  It is done in private and young people often do it in places were they fear being intruded upon.  Therefore, it is associated with something bad.  When a teenager I often irrationally thought that if I masturbated, something bad would happen to me as punishment: e.g. if I threw a paper on my paper route and it broke a window, I felt it happened because I had masturbated the night before.  But reasonable masturbation will not affect your potency or make you go crazy.  It is considered normal and a healthy outlet for your normal sexual drive.  It has a number of benefits.  First, you can please yourself without having to concern yourself with the needs of another.  Second, you have a release for your s*x drive when you are young and unattached; it helps in keeping one's p***s out of places that would bring it owner more trouble than a young man needs.  Third, I often did it when I was young just before going out with someone special especially if I thought I was going to get lucky:  having masturbated recently helped me last longer during real intercourse.  Finally, I have heard that it helps promote prostrate health and regulation.  

     A previous teenager asked if twice a day was too much: it appears to me just fine.  The problems arise when people get carried away or unhealthy.  When I started out it was in the shower with soap as a lubricant.  That I learned had to stop.  The soap irritated my p***s.  Another problem may arise if masturbation begins to interfere with other natural functions in life:  for example, is one masturbating so much he or she is avoiding normal sexual interaction with one's mate.  Another problem could arise when we take the desire for pleasure and excitement to dangerous heights:  such as masturbation in public or how about this one:  let's wrap a belt around my neck and m********e while undergoing asphyxiation.   One suggestion I have is that one not m********e too hard and don't do it with the same hand and in the same way each time.  Can't say for sure but I have wondered if guys masturbating in the same way over years have caused curves in their p***s and or diverted the little line that runs the length of the under side of the p***s.  

     I assume that the frequency of masturbation diminished when one mates with another person and has frequent and continuous sexual contact with his or her mate.  But even then masturbation may not continuously go away.  I remember during my mid-life sexual encounters with my wife were two to three times a week on the average with three children.  On the off days, I would often m********e before going to work.  And as noted above, it is the one time when you can focus on your sexuality and your own pleasure without concern for the feelings and needs of another even if the other is the love of your life.  Good luck young man and enjoy yourself with care and safety.

Answer 15

Masturbation is

Normal: It's the instinctive sexual drive of all mammals

Healthy: It reduces stress and lowers chances of prostate cancer in males

Harmless: Unless this activity takes up most of your time or you're too rough

Common: So common that everyone does it regularly (or has done in before)

Here are some websites that should help you understanding why masturbation is okay (especially for teenagers)

another way of exploring themselves with out having

s*x and its perfectly healthy I'm 14 by the way so i

Answer 18

Yeah, it's normal.  Some guys have guilt because of their religious upbringing or from how their parents handle s*x.  If you have questions about your religion, ask your youth leader or do your own research.
