Is it normal to feel like this after masturbating?!


Question: Is it normal to feel like this after masturbating?
I'm a girl, just to make things clear.
Almost every time I masturbate, after I orgasm, I feel so guilty. I mean, I'm 15, and I've been doing this for a few years (I know that's very young, but it has always made me a little less stressed, although making more problems for me) but I always feel a few things. First, I feel like God hates me because I masturbate, while looking at lesbian porn (more like foreplay/touching, I skip the actual intercourse) but im straight and feel so wrong to be watching it, and I do it so often. I've done it three times today, and I do it almost everyday usually once a night. Then when something bad happens to me later like the next day, I feel like God is punishing me for doing this... But I can't help it. Second, I feel so dirty. Like I need to forget what I did. I then think to myself, "it's okay, just do innocent things... play kid games on the computer... Go on a kids website... Go hang out with your friends, just dont think about what you did..." EVERY TIME. I feel so guilty, and I want to stop, but I simply can't! So many things turn me on and it just gives me the urge to do it, but then forget it all and act like a child again. Is this normal? I feel so weird for being like this... Thanks.

I was brought up in a religious family and felt the same way when I was a teenager. But as I got older, I learned a lot more about sex and religion and explored my own spritual beliefs. Think about this: at age 15, there are girls running around the world having unprotected, unsafe sex. YOU, being the intelligent young woman you are, are still sexually healthy and enjoying sex without subjecting yourself to diseases, pregnancy, and heartbreak. Many mental health professionals believe masterbation is actually HEALTHY, can help relieve depression and help people have more self confidence. It can also help you relax at the end of the day, help you fall asleep faster and get a better nights sleep.

It is not wrong to be turned on by lesbian porn. It's probably a little much to be watching it three times a day... and if you feel bad about watching it, maybe you could just "think" about it. Also, if you think you are masterbating too much (even though I would say once a day isn't bad), maybe just do it before you go to bed.

Like I said, I was brought up religiously, but I wondered, if I'm not having sex with anyone else and giving up my virginity, and I still feel good about myself and my beliefs, and still feel like I have a close relationship with God, whats wrong with it? Part of growing up is not only growing up sexually but finding who you are and how your religious beliefs fit into your life. Don't feel guilty! And if you ever need to talk to someone, feel free to email me!



There's nothing wrong with masturbating. You could be out having sex with guys you don't know. It's normal for a straight person to watch any form of porn and get turned on. Keep doing what your doing. I don't think there's a darn thing in the bible that says Thou shalt not masturbate. God is not punishing you for this.



I've felt like that before too. I looked it up because it was bothering me so much and all of the articles that I read claim that it's typical and many girls feel like that. You can google it and tons of articles pop up, it'll make you feel better. I know it made me feel better! No worries, it's normal.



masturbation isnt anything bad, its natural and would be weird if you didnt masturebate at your age. i do it too..religion andlmasturbation is a bad mix, if your really that religious then wow. if there was a god, he wouldnt give a s hit if you played withyourself thats just a stupid ******** lie to make people feel bad and your "god" wouldnt hate you for pleasuring yourself if he truly loved you if he is even real



masturbation is normal and natural
nowhere in the bible does it say masturbation is a sin
your at that age don't fight it
and its normal to do it sometimes
i started younger
and you sound very sexy



It is a little strange.. are you very religious? Some religions think masturbating is bad. this might have influenced you to think this. just try and realize its totally normal and God doesnt hate you for it.



No, that's not normal at all. Most people feel good about exploring their bodies, learning to be comfortable with them, and just generally doing something that is healthy and enjoyable.



Stop with the guilt. Everyone does it. It's normal.



That is perfectly normal...Masturbation is as natural as breast feeding...God doesnt hate you, God doesnt hate anybody...you are just like me in everyway but im 19. I feel guility about it too, some religions believe that masturbation is a sin but im sure god understands, he understand that ur hormones are going crazy. ya know and it does reduce stress...I think God would be more upset if you had sex before marriage. But dont worry about anything...ask for forgivesness....and besides im sure the whole world masturbates :)



Well I know it's kind of weird to ask this, but it's good that you're trying to figure it out. Being a teenager is just a weird time for everybody, with (I know I'm going to sound clichéd) hormones running through your body 24/7.
Now, onto your actual question. God doesn't hate you for this, everybody masturbates. There's a saying that goes "99% of people masturbate, the other 1% lies about it." And that's very true. Most people get sexual urges at some point, and when it starts, it doesn't stop. Masturbating (or any kind of sexual activity really) releases endorphins in your brain along with other chemicals that have to do with pleasure. Everyone likes feeling good right? If you like chocolate, you're probably going to eat it on a regular basis. Masturbation is the same way.
You don't need to feel wrong or dirty, absolutely EVERYBODY does it. Guys, girls, everyone. Some discover it later than others, some as early as 11, some as late as 15 or 16. If you're worried that it's starting to occupy too much of your time, go read a book or hang out with friends, something to keep you busy.
I hope I could help, I know that this is an awkward stage in life.
