Is masterbating bad?

I’m embarrassed I have to ask strangers this but I don’t have anyone else irl I can ask.

My mom had caught me doing it yesterday and got really mad. When she cooled down she explained to me that it’s ok to have those feelings around my period but it’s not ok to act on them. What does she mean?

I don’t understand. Those feelings do not go away unless I act on them though and I thought it was ok cause it’s not like I’m going to get pregnant from it right? And I searched up on Google it was normal for girls my age to do that stuff so why is my mom telling me it’s wrong and I shouldn’t.

Please no creepy answers, I just want serious answers.

  • It is completely okay with balance. Once you start doing to much of something till the point that balance is off then it becomes an issue. That is with everything in life. Too much of a drug , water, food , and activity can affect you negatively.

  • is your mom religiouse?

    who says your mum is right who says anyone is right just do what you want its your life and your not hurting anyone else

    • dm me if u need to chat more

  • Nothing wrong with it, just find a suitable place to do it and make sure you lock the door

    • I don’t have doors in my room because my mom doesn’t want me to keep secrets

    • Wtf? Nothing against your family, but what the F? Why would any parent take doors off a hinge?

  • A very natural thing to do, many religions preach not to do it,

    • Just do not get caught

  • If you ask me there's nothing wrong with it. Its normal and healthy and beautiful

  • no, it's not normal... masturbation is a selfish act and therefore over time it makes you selfish

    • How am I being selfish by masterbating?

    • sex was made to please the other and to procreate, if you please yourself, it is obvious that you are being selfish… by doing a selfish act you will become more selfish with time

    • Where in the Bible does it say that?

  • No. It’s not bad. It’s normal

  • Maybe you should sit down with your mother and talk about it.

  • your mom's a fucking idiot. don't listen to her. just masturbate when you feel the need to and tell your mom she needs to get laid or to go fuck herself

  • Some people think that masturbating is a sin. However, as a Christian I don't ascribe it as such. I have been through Laviticus (this is where all the sins are listed; which is why it is nicknamed "the Law") several times and no mention of masturbation. Other Christians can only seem to point to the New Testament and Paul's letters. Since I don't think Paul had the authority to create new sins I don't give much credence to those passages.

  • A lot of it depends on how you masturbate.

    I would say doing something with a broom or toilet paper roll would be bad.

    But your finger is not bad unless you put it in your bum bum.

  • girl u are perfectly fine... if your parents are the 'save yourself for marriage' type then i can see why she'd be mad bc she might think the next step u take is actually having sex. if i really bothers you that she disapproves then you should def talk to her about how you feel and that its normal. my mom has never caught me but she does know i do it. she doesn't care and she understands because she was once my age.
