Hi Zoe,

At your age, it's natural to be curious about things like these. However, you don't have to feel pressurised about doing something just because others are doing it. It's good to be curious and to explore your own body, but if you feel that you're stepping into a zone of discomfort, you might want to stop.

Personally, I think I unknowingly masturbated a few times in my teens, but for some reason I felt really guilty about it afterwards. So therefore I don't masturbate at all, and I'm happy about that.

So it's individualistic and up to you - do what you feel is right and comfortable
