A woman usually masturbates by rubbing, stroking or squeezing
her clitoris. The
clitoris is the most sensitive sexual part of a woman. She might
also touch her breasts and other sensitive areas of her body. A man
usually masturbates by stroking, rubbing or 'pumping' his penis,
and may concentrate particularly on the tip, which is the most
sensitive part. Masturbation is sometimes referred to as playing
with yourself, or, especially with men, jerking off, a hand job, or
wanking.
There is no physical reason why you should or shouldn't
masturbate. It is not true that you'll go blind if you
masturbate.
People don't necessarily begin masturbating when they reach
puberty. Some people hardly ever masturbate, and others masturbate
a lot. It varies according to how a person feels. Many people
masturbate even when they are in a relationship with someone.
Masturbation can last as long as you want, but generally people
masturbate for between a few minutes and half an hour.
There is no physical reason why you should or shouldn't
masturbate. It is not true that you'll go blind if you masturbate,
or that you will become weak or lose your health. It is not
possible to masturbate too much, though you should stop if you
start to make yourself feel sore. Some people think that if a man
doesn't masturbate his testes will fill up with sperm. This is not
true; the sperm are just absorbed into his body. It is also not
true that women who think about sex or masturbate are 'easy'.
