Sexual Health Help... I’m ashamed to masturbate?
Anonymous
so I’m a 14 year old Chinese expat girl, and I am addicted to masturbating, but I’m ashamed to do it. I have been home alone when I was 12 and I was bored, so I played some phone games and had porn click ups. I didn’t know what it was and it let me to a porn site, I was curious but also a bit grossed out. One of the most searched things on there were “girl masturbating” so I clicked on it for fun and saw these videos of girls masturbating. I had a wtf face on for a couple minutes but then wondered if it feels good. I started to imitate the girls in the videos and I found it really enjoyable. I masturbated once a week back then in the shower but fast forward 2 years I do it almost every day. It’s just so addicting and I love the feeling of it, but after I orgasm I feel a lot of worrying and guilt, as if I’m a freak or a pervert. my parents are strict Chinese Christians who believe that you can’t have sex before you are married and I heard masturbating is like sex, so I felt even more ashamed. I am tall (5’11, or 180cm) and I am naturally skinny and whenever I masturbate my bones crack, is it normal? I want to lose my virginity before marriage and get a boyfriend when I’m a bit older but that guilt always comes back. What should I do? Sorry for my English I live in Europe.

5 46Don't feel guilty. It is a natural part of human behavior.
You may feel a bit guilty but stick with it compared to losing your virginity. That would move you into a completely different realm.
At the moment you are just playing, no one else is involved, I would keep it that way...
Its really up to you. You are ok in exploring your sexuality the way you want. That is your right. However you want to go about it whether before marriage or after is up to you. You do not need to feel ashamed for doing something natural.
Don't be ashamed to masturbate almost everyone does it or has done it.
You wouldn't be human if you didn't masturbate, so believe me when I saw you'd be miserable if you never did. Yes masturbation is technically a sin, but it's in our human nature so we literally can't help it, so the guilt and shame is part of the package, but you get used it in time, even later you'll learn to get over it sooner. It's not really sex, but it does help to fill a void until we find ourselves a partner. Your parents don't have to know, but if they were upset about it, that's on them not, they should be more caring and understanding. You're not the only one to masturbate so often, almost every does it, even the Christian (tho they may not always admit or they'll straight up deny it). Just trust me, I know it feels like a lot, but it'll get better in time, and I think you're very smart to wanna lose your virginity before marriage and get a boyfriend when you're older.
Masturbating is a natural thing to do, animals do it too so why should you be ashamed of something that's natural? Think about it, you are not shamed for eating, peeing or sleeping, right? So no need to feel ashamed of wanting sexual stimulation.
Besides, you are not harming anyone by doing so and, on top of that, you are having a good time. So, in the end, what is so bad about masturbation?
I don't know what your values are but strict Christian values will be the source of a lot of guilt and shame. My question is, do you want to avoid that guilt and shame? If so, I would suggest forging your own values instead of adopting values that are focused on shaming you.
Listen there's honestly nothing to be ashamed of. What your doing is exploring and learning your body we've all done it before no big deal
im sorry you feel that way
what do you want from me?
So... don't do it
I’ll try but it’s hard
Don't listen to him. There really is nothing wrong with Asker, you're a teenager it's completely fine and normal to masturbate a lot
Masturbation is very normal and a natural way for you to explore and express yourself sexually. The reason you feel shame is not because of the act itself but because of the cultural taboo placed on sexual expression and exploration. This shame will not serve you well as a teen, young adult, or older adult regardless of relationship status. My advice would be to keep exploring your sexuality and sexual interests. Talk to someone about the same you feel and talk it through so you can put it aside and label it for what it is and move past it.
Never be ashamed
Don't feel ashamed for masturbating. It's perfectly normal. Enjoy yourself !
Well honey we all do it
But do you know how to not feel guilty?
Well it will not be after a couple years
Just be yourself
Okay I’ll try to get over it
Ok bless you
What bones are cracking?
Don't be ashamed of it! It's a completely natural thing to do and if you like it then go ahead, it's not a bad thing to do it a lot, especially if you're a teenager. So honestly don't worry about it, go ahead 🙂👍
Also if you want to have sex before marriage that's completely fine, live your life however you want to. Masturbating is a fantastic way to relieve stress and feel great, also almost every day is very common so don't worry about that. Hope this helps 🙂
Aww thank you! Tbh I have this guy I like and I want to have sex with him but I’ll just hide it from my family
At the end of the day it's your life so live it however you want to, don't worry about what other people think 🙂
No worries in my opinion if you really like that guy then date him but probably wait to have sex with him when you're 16, because by then you're more grown up and know what to do 🙂
Lol that btbc92 person is very stubborn. Keep in mind most sin believers are stubborn like that lol, best thing to do is just ignore them
Don't do it. Wait till your older.
Dude I've already had an argument with people about this. You can't tell people what to do, if people want to masturbate they can, it's their life and their choice. Not yours. So please just stop
it's normal don't worry bout it
First off sweetheart your English is fine.
As to masturbating I used to chat to two sisters a long time ago (one was 12 the other 10) who used to masturbate while I chatted to them, at first they both felt ashamed but after they had a few chats they got over it.
Not boasting but those two always slept better after masturbating with me everynight.
You can masturbate whenever you want. You like it and if it does not prevent anything in your normal life, you can do it. Have you ever tried virtual sex?
Don't feel ashamed for something you enjoy. That religion is very shame based, so it's tough on people.
As for the bone cracking part, could be from growing so much, 5'11" at 14 is pretty tall!
Very normal feelings
