What is masturbation

Masturbation is the stimulation of the genitals with the intent of creating sexual excitement, pleasure and often an orgasm

Masturbation is usually performed by hand but sometimes women use toys called vibrators. 

Why do people Masturbate?

People masturbate for various reasons, but primarily they do it because it feels good.

Another reason people masturbate is to release the buildup of sexual tension that can happen once the body has reached sexual maturity.

A person who has sexual urges and fantasies might not be in a relationship, or his or her partner might not be interested or ready for sexual interaction. Masturbation provides a way for that person to satisfy his or her needs while respecting his or her partner’s timing.

Masturbation is also a choice for couples who want to engage in some sort of sexual activity while avoiding the risks of sexually transmitted diseases and pregnancy.
