Masturbating is totally normal, and there is no "right" way to do it. Some people masturbate frequently, others not at all. Masturbating is the best things you can do to acquaint yourself with your body's stimulation preferences. Additionally, it's a good time to check for things like lumps/pains, and is a great way to relieve stress and body pains. While most people think of masturbating as a solo-only job, we encourage also masturbating with your partners. 

​

Masturbating when in a relationship is often stigmatized. Some people think of a partner masturbating as cheating. Others believe that it must mean they are inadequate in the bedroom. Masturbating while in a relationship is actually quite helpful! Not only are you able to explore your sexual response, but it can be used as an effective method of teaching partners how to navigate your body better.
