It is normal not to masturbate, too. Some people have religious training that tells them masturbation is wrong. However, it does not cause physical or mental health problems. It does not cause hairy palms, blindness, or increased sexuality. Some people use masturbation to release sexual feelings when they are not having sex.
Some people do it to learn about what kind of pleasure they like.
Sometimes people masturbate their sexual partner. This is called mutual masturbation, and is a safer sexual behavior than having unsafe sex, which can lead to pregnancy and disease. Visit with your healthcare provider if you have questions or concerns about masturbation. All Rights Reserved.
