I feel weird for masturbating

Unread post by fieldofflowers »

I get its supposed to be normal and healthy but like whenever im done I feel really disgusting and dirty afterwards?? It might be because I do it too often. Is nearly everyday too much??? Should I NOT be doing it at all? At some point one of my friends told me its not normal to touch myself at all and that I need to like stop. I dont know anymore man 💔

Hi fieldofflowers, and welcome to the boards! :)

I’m glad you know that masturbation is normal and healthy, because it is! Even if you’re doing it every day, that is not too much at all. You can read more about that here: Is Masturbation Okay? (Yep)

I’m sorry to hear that your friends told you it’s not normal, they are wrong about that. But, masturbation is a private thing too, so it’s really none of their business what you choose to do with your body. Know what I mean?
