Infection with HIV, the virus that causes AIDS, is increasing more rapidly among heterosexuals than among homosexuals. Many people are being infected with HIV through sexual activity with someone of the opposite sex. AIDS is not exclusive or even prone to any specific demographic, race, gender, or age group. Masturbation is a normal, healthy part of life that is not harmful. In fact, in most cases it is beneficial.
Masturbation is restricted almost exclusively to males.
A large proportion of females, as well as males, enjoy masturbation. People in relationships never or shouldn't masturbate. Masturbation, in terms of everyday conversation with other people, is a taboo subject. Self-pleasuring might be tolerated for young single males but, in many cultures and socialized groups, is frowned upon for young girls, and not even considered for married people or older single people. Yet, the vast majority of people DO masturbate.
