Girls and boys touch their sex organs for pleasure from the time they are babies. Most adults, children, and infants enjoy touching their sex organs and other parts of their bodies. The clitoris is designed to give women and girls great pleasure when touched. The penis, especially the tip of the penis, gives men and boys great pleasure when touched. Touching our sex organs for pleasure is called masturbation.
Masturbation is a normal, healthy part of life.
However, some people choose not to masturbate. And some people are ashamed to admit that they do. Masturbation is not harmful. It does not cause acne, make us crazy, or cause any of the other awful things some people say. People of all ages enjoy masturbating.
