Believe it or not, quite a lot of research has been conducted on this subject. And the overall conclusion is that masturbation is universal across nearly all cultures, and that it can have a number of healthy outcomes, such as:

* Relieving stress and releasing tension (including the obvious, sexual tension)
* Providing a sexual outlet for people who are not having sex with a partner (whether by choice or by circumstance)
* Alleviating pre-menstrual symptoms in some women
* Helping to induce sleep, or conversely, helping to start the day with an energized calm
* Strengthening muscle tone in the genital region
* Promoting a couples' level of sexual satisfaction in their relationship
* Providing treatment for some types of sexual dysfunction

* Infants — while not necessarily erotic, many infants touch their genitals once they learn that the stimulation feels good.
* Children — again, not necessarily erotic, but many children also find self-stimulation pleasurable.
* Adolescents — perhaps the classic group associated with masturbation. Many males and females masturbate regularly in their pre-teens and teens.
* Adults — married, partnered, or single, adults ages 18-59 are actually more likely to masturbate than adolescents. What's more, people with regular sexual partners are more likely to masturbate than singles.
* And then there are many people, from all age groups, who rarely or never masturbate.

To maximize your pleasure and safety, here are some tips to consider when getting a grip on yourself:

* If you're using any objects to help get the job done (sex toys, cucumbers, what have you), throw a condom on first — especially if that object will be shared with someone else or enter more than one orifice (use a new condom for each "destination").
* Plenty of lube = maximum comfort (and less chafing) — water-based lube is a universally good choice. Some men prefer using lotion on their penis, however women should avoid inserting lotion, oil, petroleum jelly, and anytying oil-based, into the vagina to avoid risk of vaginitis (irritation and/or infection in the vagina).
* Masturbate when it's enjoyable to you. If you don't feel like it, don't worry about it. If you want to do it again, go ahead.
* Try different techniques, positions, times of day, mood music, etc. to learn more about what feels best.
