writes:Is it worth the time to occasionally masturbate? In sex ed, I did hear about it, but I'm not quite sure on how enjoyable it could be. I mean, is it worth the effort? I haven't been able to ask any other people about it, so I'm pretty stumped on whether I should try it or not. Please reply back! Reply to this Question

If you are unsure of directly touching your vagina then just start of by rubbing your hand over the top of your clothes and see if you like the feeling or not. If you don't then don't rush into it and maybe hold of for a while, as you may not be ready to explore your body just yet. If you do like it then just try to relax and enjoy the sensations that you experience. You will get more braver and will start to actually explore yourself further.

 Your at the time in your life where your learning more and more about your body every day.Masturbation is nothing to feel embarrassed about, it allows you to find out about yourself (it also feels very nice)For boys, they have a little more to guide them than us girls! Sex-ed in the UK really is rubbish, it talks about the facts without actually going into too much detail and there certainly not going to explain to a girl how to reach an orgasam.I don't think it would harm you to start exploring your own body, and what feels nice. Try having a nice warm bath, you know it's private for one thing! Mum or Dad arent going to come strolling in!Here's what I suggest, next time your in the bath just spend some time noticing how it feels when you touch yourself on your legs your arms, I'm suggesting stroking, explore your body see what feels nice and when your ready start stroking your lady parts, do what feels nice and just enjoy your bodyThe more relaxed you are, the more your learn about you and that's a good thingTake care little lady

 If you think it's an effort then it's not worth it...
BUT, if you have not yet figured out your body (and finding out it may be worth the time) maybe some time alone exploring is a good plan

 THere's nothing to be concerned about. It's quite normal and in your later years it's all that's left you so practice,practice,practice.

 Orgasm is, in my opinion, one of the most wonderful things that a human being can experience. So yes, it is certainly "worth the time".Sexual Education in school does a shit job, pardon my language, of teaching women about the nature of their genitals. Movies, romance novels and porn often portrays women having loud multiple orgasms with very little foreplay and lots of rough in-and-out pounding with the penis in the vagina. Most women in the real world, however, can only reach orgasm through direct clitoral stimulation. Your clitoris is the female version of the male penis. In the fetus, it is made of the same tissue and nerves, and this is why it has the same sexual response in both genders.Gentle direct stimulation on and around the clitoris with well lubricated fingers will eventually lead to orgasm in most women. It takes practice and patience, but USUALLY it will work.It'll take time to understand and know your body and your reactions. Give yourself time and be patient and gentle with yourself. Respect your body always, you deserve no less.

 Well there is a first time for everything. And i would say it is worth the effort.
You see when you get older you will probably feel the erdge to masturbate as it is really just human nature.
Like CindyCares said try it if you feel combfortable enough, theres no pressure to rush into things if you don't feel ready after all you have your whole life ahead of you to try different things.

 It's not that it takes a lot of time.... if we have to judge by the quantity of time / level of enjoyment ratio, I would say surely yes. I mean, people spend hours and hours on Facebook, or watching sitcoms, to get probably less enjoyment .
BUT, you don't HAVE to try if you don't feel the need. If for the moment masturbation does not interest you that's perfectly fine, maybe your body does not require it yet. I am sure it will let you know if it changes its mind :):
