You could masturbate the entire day and it wouldn't hurt.  You'd be tired, but it wouldn't cause any problems beside that.  Do it as many times as you feel comfortable with.  There's no shame in it.

I don't mind at all.  I don't think girls have as much of a problem with "tasting themselves" as guys do.  (If you find a guy willing to kiss you after you've done it to him, in my humble opinion, he's a keeper.)

This might give you more insight in a religious sense and matter.  http://www.religioustolerance.org/masturba.htm\n\nI think what your doing is alright as long as your not lusting at another person.

It's ok, you have my permission to masturbate.  I promise you won't go blind or grow hair on your palms.  Plus, it's a great way to get to know your own body, which I think is the responsibility of each individual.  That way, when the "real" thing comes along, you'll be ready.  It's a natural part of life and growing up especially.  Have fun.\n\nFR

It is very healthy to masturbate, for shure.'It is good for your bloodstream, for your prostate (if you are a man), for your skin and hair, and for stressrelieving and many many things more. \n\nBut that doesn't mean it is unhealthy to not masturbate. It is just healthier to do it.\nYou won't die if you don't do it. Follow your instincts. If you never have the urge, don't force yourself.

Masturbation is a normal teen thing. Try not to get caught, and respect where you are at. Just don't get too wrapped up in it, or sex, there are a lot more interesting things to do out there and life is short.\n\nAnd definatley, I agree, use a condom if you ever have sex. We're already overpopulated.

90% wheter they will admit it or not. Males and females do the deed equally, wheter they admit it or not.\n\nNo it is not harmful, and actually it is good for you prostrate to do it at least once a week.

Nope.  Completely normal for men and women to pleasure themselves.  Most young men (and women) masturbate on a frequent basis.  Women just won't talk about it!

There are no harmful effects of masturbation.  I guess you could become pre occupied with it and obsessed maybe, but doubt it. It's normal for guys and girls.

.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.

No, and I don't understand why people keep asking this quesion.  There is absolutely nothing wrong with masturbating and it can be good for you, especially if you aren't getting lucky.

Alot of women experience orgasm in  different ways. Some through clitoral stimulation, and g-spot. It's my personal opinion, that it is completely healthy to masturbate, and find out what feels, good to you, and to also experience orgasm first hand. And trust me, when you have one, you'll know. It'll be an all over body experience, I doubt it can be mistaken for anything else.

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.
