  • It depends. I don't think there's anything wrong with masturbation in and of itself. I'm a Christian and I believe there's at least one point in the old testament where the topic is discussed and it is not condemned. So if any guilt in it is based on moral or religious issues you're safe there.

    It could become problematic if it becomes a NEED for you. If you can do it and enjoy it, great, but don't let it control you.

    I'd also recommend avoiding porn just because the kind of stuff it does mentally. It's not healthy for relationships as a general rule. So if you can avoid that and addiction... you have no reason to feel guilty for masturbating.

  • Its only a problem if it becomes an addiction (yes, there is porn/masturbation addiction) but as long as its not taking over your life its fine.

    • I do it everyday is it an addiction?

    • Well this isn't a clear cut issue. It isn't really how often you masturbate but rather how it influates you/ your life. I can only talk about this from a guys perspective but if porn/masturbation becomes a replacement of real humans, and if you for example can't get one up for real people anymore and you need more extreme stimulation every time then it becomes a problem. But for most people it won't be a problem.

  • No u shouldn’t. U r simply giving urself pleasure which isn’t a bad thing.
    But, if you overdo it or are addicted to it and then ur guilty, then yes that is a problem.
    Otherwise don’t feel guilty ur just being human after all 🙂🙂

  • Nah, it's absolutely normal. It's certainly not something you should tell everyone about, but it's not a bad thing at all. As long as you do it in free time and not a time when you should be doing something else, you're good. But if it gets in the way of important things, you should try to keep it under control and get to it when you have free time again.

  • Lust is a wrong thing to do and yes lust would lead to guilt, So I suggest you quit.

  • This is why people get fucked up, shaming someone's natural tendencies. It's your body and what you do with it isn't really anyone's business. Maybe your parents for safety reasons, but even then, no one has any right to say or control how someone touches themselves or their sexuality. Never feel guilty for pleasuring yourself.

  • No there is nothing wrong. I also felt guilty in your age and kept in promising myself that I will stop and never do it again but I still do it. Even now I am still doing it and nothing bad happen to me.

  • Don worry if you feel, you are molesting your sexuality or character. It's natural and let me tell you, if you don do it, you may face hormonal problems later or even sexual problems. So keep enjoying it, but yes do have a control over it. Nothing is good if overpracticed.

    • I do it almost every day, should I quit?

    • Till 27-28 everyday is normal for boys. I guess it should be normal for girls as well. But gradually try to bring down the frequency to once /3 day and then increase duration very slowly, if you are comfirtable. This is normal at your age and you are doing fine. Especially during days around your date, this sort of feelings are normal. So don be tensed or hyper worried about it. Take it easy and work on it slowly.

  • No one should ever feel guilty for masturbating, what you do in your own home is your business.

  • Only if you do it every single day. Even then, I don't think you should really feel that guilty about it.

  • No reason to feel guilty about it. You found something you like that's harmless.

    • Just dont let it become an obsession that gets in the way of daily activity.

  • Guilty for what?
    All the babys that didn't got born?

    No, thats dumb, its a natural and healthy thing, which doesn't harm anyone.

  • Yep. You should because you're giving into temptation and wasting time while you could be doing something productive and worth your time.

  • I don't believe so. Masturbation releases stress and has many other health benefits.

  • No need two feel guilty about it pure pleasure
    So enjoy your self while masturbating. I've been masturbating for 42 years and I'm 52 now and I ether use my hand or hump my self and I don't feel guilty about it.

  • Nah. Masturbation releases stress and helps you figure out how you like to fuck and what you like

  • why should you feel guilty for touching your own body?

  • Don't be guilty. It's a natural urge and better be fulfilled. I get crazy without sex or jerking of more than a day

  • No..

  • Yes.

  • Why do you feel guilty
