Nature has designed se as one of the most enjoyable and pleasant thing and masturbation is one simple and privet form of it. It is normal for girls and women to masturbate even if they are in relationship and marriage.

it is believed that there are some health benefits to masturbating - including relieving period pain and stress, and so most girls start masturbation right from puberty. First of all: yes it is completely normal for girls and women to masturbate, and there is no right or wrong method or frequency for masturbation.

Masturbation is touching their own genitals for sexual arousal and pleasure, and often leads to orgasm. It also include touching other parts of your body that feel good, such as the nipples. Most girls use their fingers and hands, but some use objects such as some vegetables, household objects or sex toys. Usually masturbation is something girls and guys do to themselves, but there are some other stories too.

It is believed that girls and women masturbate much less compared to guys, but picture is changing surprisingly faster mainly because of increased use of internet and easy availability of personal mobile and networking. Difference is not very large now in US and European countries, and it is also possible that girls and women just do not feel free or agree to say they masturbate because of social believes and traditions. It is pretty common among all ages.

Traditionally, masturbation is acceptable for boys. It is only recently started talking about female masturbation more openly in girl’s rooms in schools and universities. Most females masturbate playing with their clitoris because it is the most sexually sensitive part of their body. It is also a sexual practice that cannot cause pregnancy or lead to an STI. The body needs to go through puberty before a girl or guy can experience mature sexual arousal, but young children also experience pleasurable sensations down there.

For most of history, the clitoris was not fully understood or appreciated. Because sexuality in humans is linked to emotions, thoughts and beliefs, the ability to experience pleasure and orgasm does vary enormously. There has been a long standing double standard about females being able to enjoy sex which, as you have noticed, it was not always easy to talk about this very natural activity. Negative feelings such as guilt or shame were associated with masturbation especially if a person has grown up in religious old tradition families with specific negative beliefs about it. Study of human body in schools usually helps them to overcome these conditions.
