Dear Is Masturbation Okay?,

TeenHealthFX is glad you asked this question as many teens wonder the same thing. Masturbation is completely normal for both boys and girls and cannot harm you. Kid’s Health explains that over the years there have been rumors that masturbation can cause blindness, stunt your growth, or even give you an STD and that is simply not true. 

We hope this helps! If you still have questions, we recommend reaching out to a parent or trusted adult or doctor.
