park	yes, it's normal. statistics of age or social groups isn't the best standard to determine the coarse of masturbating. it's personal to everyone. some people experience it even before becoming a teenager and some people experience it really late, like in their early 30's. no need to feel ashamed. it's better if it's not like everybody else. that's why it's unique and it should be special because it has personal meaning to you; to your life.

itsmejack	As a graduate student in psychology, I can tell you that it is perfectfully normal for a teenage girl to masturbate. Different people start at different ages, and sometimes people will tell they don't do it when, in actuality, they do, they're just afraid to admit they do. If you find yourself doing it excessively, if it starts to interfere with your well being, then you might consider talking to a good counselor. And by all means wait to have sex until you find the perfect person, and then always practice safely. It is much safer for you to please yourself and to know that you are clean and healthy than to be having sex with all sorts of different people. Hope this helps you. I would strongly suggest for you to find a competent, understanding adult to speak with. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Kelly R	Yes, it's normal. I would rather you be doing this then having sex. Be careful tho because if done to much it could effect you having an orgasm once you do start having sex. As for the people not having an orgasm - they are either not hitting the right spot or they are not fantasizing about the right stuff??? Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

fozz	course its normal,and dont let anyone make you feel guilty about it,people who say they dont are liars,not that ive ever done it(liar) dont worry you are ok and normal and fine. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

rosie_0801	The ones who don't either feel weird, sort of ashamed, or share a room. For all I know, girls like you are in the minority, but you are the normal ones. There's grown women, hey, even married women who don't know how to stimulate themselves to orgasm. There's nothing weird about masturbating, babies do it as soon as they can reach. Be happy :) Masturbating is normal and healthy! Besides, you'll never be able to teach your sex partner to do it for you if you don't know how to do it yourself. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

cristie	you shouldnt be ashamed. i have been doing it since i was twelve as well. i was actually reading about that the other day. i am 18. go to wikipedia. it really helped. it is actually good for your health. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Serpentine Fire	It's incredibly normal. And it's not something to be ashamed of at all. There are grown women who have been married for years who can't orgasm and they'd trade places with you in a heartbeat. And some of those girls who don't masturbate get themselves knocked up or get an std because they didn't just take matters in their own hands. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

frenchielove4ever	Sweetheart you have nothing to be ashamed about. Everyone's body is different and some women are never able to have an orgasm. Count yourself lucky for that one. Masturbation is a part of life. I think the majority of teenage girls masturbate. What is normal for you and your body may not be normal for someone else. Please don't ever make decisions that will affect you, your body, or your life based on what others are doing. Do what is right for you. Has your mom talked to you about this type of thing and/or sex?? Do you feel comfortable talking to her?? I'm not preaching to you but if you haven't had sex please wait until you are married. I promise you, you will be soooo thankful you waited. You should be proud of your body and sexuality always.. Everyone is beautiful and special in their own way... Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Rayha	Normal yes Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Colleen	Don't be ashamed! I feel weird--I didn't start masturbating until a few months ago and still haven't had an orgasm, and I'm 24! Think of how many more orgasms you'll have in your life after starting early. I'm afraid I may never have an orgasm. And there's nothing wrong with masturbation--it's a way to get sexual pleasure without any risk whatsoever. I don't know why so many people have a problem with it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

JaneDo	don't ever be ashamed of your sexuality. masturbation is the way human beings explore themselves and decide what they like and don't like. Children as young as 7 materbate and children even younger than that touch themselves there to induce feelings of happiness or security. Don't feel bad about it. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

stewie	yes yes yes Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ryan G	I'm a guy but I'm a little older than you so maybe I can help. The girl I'm seeing told me she started masturbating when she was 7 or 8, so don't feel bad. And there's nothing wrong with getting in touch with your body, believe me. And the fact that you're able to have orgasms and that you enjoy them is a big plus. If you know what feels good to you, it'll make it that much better for whatever guy (or girl) you want to be with sexually. If you can communicate to your partner what you enjoy, the experience is ten times better, trust me. There are any number or girls out there who have never masturbated and have no clue what to tell their sex partner when it comes to bringing them to orgasm. I know, because I had a girlfriend like that once and it was difficult to know if I was doing the right things to her or not. Don't be ashamed or worried; you're actually doing yourself a favor. The girls who aren't doing it are missing out. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

versantly	very normal, most girls start even younger as they explore their bodies. do it often. it is fun and very safe sex! when you're older, it will help to know your body cuz it's the best way to teach your lover how to please you. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Ramone	its normal. have fun! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Baby Gyrl	Yes, it's normal and don't be ashamed. some girls probably do, but are embarassed to admit to it since it's accepted to be a teenage GUY thing. some girls do it though. dont feel weird about it. it's your body, you should be able to do what you want with it . and ya orgasms are normal since i'm assuming your hitting the right spot. Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

tetrodotoxic	YES. Plus, what the heck's the difference between "sixteen" and "almost seventeen"? You talk about those ages like they're scientifically distinct. Many girls start much younger than that... and much older. In a nutshell: just go for it: ;-) Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

dude	absolutely, some girls start at 7, some in their 20's. It's perfectly normal. Why feel ashamed? It feels good, nobody is hurt. Some women almost never have orgasms, enjoy Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

peanut	totally normal and safer than sex! Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No

Judge Sludge says:	Honey, almost everyone masterbates, it's one of those things that you just do... There are only Two types of people...Those that masterbate....and those that LIE!!! People who claim they do not the loudest are trying to justify their own guilt of doing so in hopes that attention on the subject wouldn't possibly focus on them since they claim they don't do it... Feeling guilty after a sexual release is also normal, along with immediatly losing any interest in the act... Relax....Enjoy your body, its Gods gift to you and if anyone tells you it's wrong just place them on the "Pay No Mind List" and crank one more off... LOL...Good Luck.... P.S. I started at 11 and although the frequency has diminished since then...I still enjoy it Was this answer helpful to you? Yes / No
