This is a very good question.  The simple answer is having fun by stimulating your body, people mostly do this by stroking, fondling and generally playing with the parts between their legs.  It is also a term applicable for doing these things to other parts of the body such as the breasts, the butt, and anywhere else it is fun to touch.\nYou can also mastr*bate using sex-toys such as plastic replicas of penises and other objects like fruits and household items.\nBoth boys and girls mastr*bate.  It is normal, healthy and fun.  You can do it as often as you want and it is not harmful.  \nThere is no wrong way to mastr*bate - just do things which feel nice and you think might be fun and sexy.  \nSome people like to look at sexy pictures while mastr*bating - this is normal and lets you see what other people look like when naked.\nAn important point to remember for girls is not to put anything dirty or sharp inside the vagina as this could lead to injury and infection.  Wash everything before and after it goes in there!\nI hope this information helps you.

M*sturbation is when you are sexually satisfying yourself. You can be doing it on your own or with another person near you.\n\nIt is safe.  It is not harmful unless you use utensils or sex toys in the wrong way.  For men, if they pull themselves too much they are going to end up really sore but that would only be harmful if they continue doing so.

Masturbation - \n\nIt is not a sin. it is one way of enjoying sex by oneself with out going to any other person of the opposite gender.  God will not mind if you Masturbate as he is now aware of what is masturbation and your will be doing it in the bathroom or in a separate room with doors closed. \n\nIt will not hurt anyone as you are not going to  beat anyone with your action. Secondly you are not going to do it in front of others. So why worry. i find your worry is baseless and there is nothing harm to do it.  \n\nNow you should know something about Mastubation. What is it?Masturbation is the manual excitation of the sexual organs, usually to the point of orgasm. It can refer to excitation either by oneself or by another (see mutual masturbation). It is part of a larger set of activities known as autoeroticism which also includes the use of sex toys and non-genital stimulation. There are also masturbation machines used to simulate intercourse. Masturbation and sexual intercourse are the two most common sexual practices, but they are not mutually exclusive (for example, many people find the sight of their partner masturbating highly erotic). Some people are able to achieve orgasm only through masturbation and not sexual intercourse.\n\n[edit] Benefits\nIt is held in many mental health circles that masturbation can relieve depression and lead to a higher sense of self-worth (Hurlbert & Whittaker, 1991). Masturbation can also be particularly useful in relationships where one partner wants more sex than the other — in which case masturbation provides a balancing effect and thus a more harmonious relationship.\n\nOn July 16, 2003, an Australian research team led by Graham Giles of The Cancer Council published a medical study [2] which concluded that frequent masturbation by males may help prevent the development of prostate cancer. The study also indicated that this would be more helpful than ejaculation through sexual intercourse because intercourse can transmit diseases that may increase the risk of cancer instead.\n\nMasturbation is also seen as a sexual technique that protects individuals from the risk of contracting sexually transmitted diseases such as AIDS. Support for such a view, and for making it part of the American sex education curriculum led to the dismissal of US Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders during the Clinton administration.\n\nSome people actually consider masturbation as a cardiovascular workout. And while doctors have no proof of this actually being true, those suffering from cardiovascular disorders (particularly those recovering from myocardial infarction, or heart attacks) should resume physical activity (including sexual intercourse and masturbation) gradually and with the frequency and rigor in which their physical status will allow. Some doctors will advise those recovering from heart attacks to resume sexual activity (solitary or with a partner) when one is able to climb two flights of stairs without experiencing shortness of breath or chest pain-.

My understanding of the term "shagging" is that it means intercourse or f---ing (thanks to the "Austin Powers" movies for that!). If you are doing that, better make sure you use protection. If you mean you are masturbating ("jacking off") that is normal, healthy and fun for guys of ANY age. I'm 65 and have been doing it since I was 12 and am not blind or crazy yet. Very good "exercise" indeed! No problem with doing it as much as you want!

A tosser is in essence, a wanker. The act of tossing is just  slang for masturbating via moving your hand up and down up ur penis to achieve orgasm.\n\nIt can be used as an offence when referring to a guy, a more harsh version wanker.\n\nedit: what i described (masturbation section) refers to men only obviously, hence why it doesn't apply to women

.the brain does not usually know the difference between masturbating,and actual intercourse. What makes sex good is usually an emotional thing for the person u/r with. Being male is a physical characteristic, so if u were born female, u still are.Anyway, masturbating is a poor way to have an  orgasm. Not only poor, but private and sick. I hope this does'nt't lead to problems with u/r life in the future, such as a pedophile in the making... so stop now, please.

Masturbation involves touching, stroking, yanking, or fondling the genitals to achieve satisfaction, generally in the form of orgasm. You can do all kinds of things, and stroking one way does not feel the same as stroking another way. \n\nTry it if you want. Just make sure you are alone as parents probably would not find it pleasing to see their child do such things. For a first time, just find a place where you're alone and comfortable, drop your pants and gently stroke your penis or vulva (don't know which you are, hon). As you get a little more exited move a little faster. If you are in possession of a cunny you can find something to toy with, for a first time find something small like the backwards end of a pen (don't use the writing side, it's sharp and you'll get ink up there). You can also just use a finger. If you have a willy, then do NOT insert anything, stick more to stroking and yanking. Try different methods as you go on. Do NOT cut yourself or anything, no scissors or anything, please.\n\nI'm guessing you are very young. If you haven't hit puberty yet, don't worry about it, you probably won't be able to have an orgasm anyway. If you have, then play on.

It's Normal, Healthy and Okay to Masturbate!\n    eve and adam 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).\n\n    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 & 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.\n\n    Why all this guilt and shame? Actually, from American History.\n\n    A little bit of American History:\n    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 male masturbation was prevented 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, all of these are not true.\n    Of course, 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.
