Understanding Masturbation

Masturbation is a natural and normal way that many people explore their bodies and learn about their feelings. It involves touching your own private parts for pleasure. It's important to know that it is a private activity, and respecting your own privacy and that of others is key.

How to Masturbate Safely and Respectfully

  • Find a private and comfortable place where you feel safe.
  • Make sure your hands are clean to help keep good hygiene.
  • Gentle touching of your penis with your hand is typical. Everyone's body is different, so you can take time to learn what feels okay and comfortable for you.
  • Remember this is a personal activity, so be sure to do it in private and not when others are around.

Cleaning Up After Masturbation

  • After you finish, it's a good idea to clean yourself. You can use some tissue to gently wipe any fluids.
  • Wash your hands with soap and water to stay clean and prevent germs.
  • If you used any towels or sheets, consider washing them regularly to keep your bedding fresh.

Remember

Masturbation is a normal part of growing up, but if you ever feel confused, worried, or have questions, it's always okay to talk with a trusted adult, like a parent or doctor.
