Q: Is it considered masturbating if you just touch yourself, but not orgasm?
A: Masturbating is touching your own genitals for pleasure. Though many people enjoy bringing themselves to orgasm when they masturbate, not everyone does. Either way is fine and perfectly normal.
Q: Can someone under the age of 18 buy a vibrator or dildo?
A: Sex toys like vibrators and dildos are perfectly healthy and safe, but in most states, you can only get sex toys at adult only stores or on adult only websites where you need to be 18 (and in some places 21) to enter.
In many adult stores, teens may enter and purchase sex toys only if they are with a parent or guardian. But in some states, it is actually illegal for anyone to buy or sell a sex toy, no matter how old they are.
Q: Is there a "normal" way to masturbate? Is there a "wrong" way to do it? Is it okay to touch other parts of your body?
A: When it comes to masturbation, anything goes! Many girls enjoy touching their clitoris and vagina, but it is perfectly normal to touch any part of your body and enjoy it. As long as it feels good, you're doing it right.
Q: Is there such a thing as "too much masturbation"?
A: Nope! Some people masturbate every day (sometimes more than once), some people masturbate once a week, and some people never masturbate at all. This is all normal.
Professionals only think that masturbating frequently is a problem if is gets in the way of other things going on in your life, (for example, if you avoid seeing friends or doing homework in order to masturbate). But, that generally isn't a common problem.
Q: What are the common ways in which an orgasm is reached? What does an orgasm feel like? How do you know you've had one?
A: There are many different ways for a girl to have an orgasm. Most girls reach orgasm from clitoral stimulation. But some girls can have orgasms from vaginal penetration alone or even through nipple stimulation or fantasizing.
An orgasm is the release of all the muscle tension that has built up during sexual arousal. During orgasm, chemicals called endorphins are also spilled into the blood stream. These chemicals can cause intensely pleasurable feelings and can make someone feel happy, giddy or sleepy.
