There are lots of different ways to have sex – and masturbation is one of them. Masturbation is a type of sex that you do on your own. It’s when you touch yourself to give yourself sexual pleasure.
Lots of people masturbate, it’s nothing to be ashamed of. It’s not bad to do it, and it can’t harm you. In fact, it can feel great and help you explore what you do and don’t like when it comes to sex. Plus there’s no risk of pregnancy, HIV or other sexually transmitted infections either.
