Safe and Respectful Masturbation Tips for 14-Year-Old Teens at Summer Camp

It's natural for teens to be curious about their bodies and sexuality. If you are thinking about masturbation while away at summer camp, it's important to approach it in a way that respects both yourself and the environment around you.

Finding Privacy

• Choose a Private Spot: Look for places where you won’t be easily disturbed, like a private bathroom stall or your tent if you have privacy there.
• Timing: Consider times when others are less likely to be around, such as early mornings or late nights.
• Lock or Secure When Possible: Use locks or barriers if available to ensure privacy.

Maintaining Cleanliness

• Use Tissue or a Towel: Have tissues or a small towel ready to clean up any fluids immediately.
• Dispose Properly: Wrap tissues and dispose of them in a trash bin to keep the area tidy.
• Wash Hands: Always wash your hands well after to maintain hygiene.

Respect and Consideration

• Remember that other campers deserve respect and the camp environment should stay clean.
• If you are unsure about the camp rules or feel uncomfortable, it's okay to wait until you're at home or in a more private, suitable location.

Taking care of yourself is important, and doing so with mindfulness to your surroundings helps keep everyone comfortable. If you have questions about your body or feelings, consider talking with a trusted adult or health professional.
