"It means to stroke or rub your clitoris that causes pleasure. Masturbation can also involve touching the intimate parts of your body like your breasts, for example. The boys also masturbate by stroking or rubbing their penis, moving their hand rhythmically up and down".
Mavis Jukes.

"To masturbate is absolutely normal and healthy. Don't listen to somebody that tells you the contrary. Men masturbate and so do women".
Peter Mayle.

"A lot of people masturbate, even children, adolescents, adults, married or single persons and also older people. And all do it for one reason: pleasure. Today we consider masturbation as something normal but that wasn't always so. Many years ago one believed that it is immoral and causes physical harm".
Karen Gravelle.

"It is very common that adolescents masturbate. It is a way of easing repressed sexual arousal. It is often accompanied by fantasies of persons that are attractive to the adolescents. Masturbation that is accompanied by such exciting fantasies can sometimes turn into feelings of confusion and depression. There are also fantasies of affection. It seems that boys tend to have aggressive impulses more often than girls".
Jonathan Bradley y Hélène Dubinsky.

"For those who enjoy and feel great by doing it, it is a secure and private form of exploring their sexuality. It is absolutely natural and healthy. But it is just as normal not to do it. Not everybody likes to masturbate".
Mavis Jukes.

"You may hear a lot of stories about masturbation, for example that you will become blind if you do it or that you will become insane, that hair will appear in your palms. But all this is rubbish. Masturbation is something absolutely normal and healthy. Mostly it is your first sexual experience and it will not cause you any harm. Enjoy it and do not in any way feel ashamed or guilty".
Peter Mayle.

"Masturbation won't cause pimples, nor will it make you becoming insane or blind nor will it leave you without sperm or prevent you from having normal sexual relationships. On the contrary, it is very well possible that it helps you to prepare for future sexual relationships. While exploring your body you will find out about the things that cause you pleasure. This way you will be able to tell your partner what you enjoy most once you have a serious relationship".
