Is It Wrong?
Is masturbation wrong? I feel so guilty doing it.

TeensHealth: Lots of people have heard all sorts of myths and misinformation about masturbation. Some worry that masturbation may cause health or emotional problems — but that's not true.
It's normal for teens to masturbate. If someone is masturbating so much that it interferes with his or her daily life, that could be a problem, though.
Masturbation is often considered a private topic and some people may feel embarrassed to think or ask about it. And when you're too embarrassed to talk about something, you might hear and believe things that aren't accurate. If you have concerns or questions about masturbation, have a conversation with your doctor, nurse, or other health counselor — they'll have heard questions like this before
