Masturbation is a normal, healthy, and expected activity for teens.

Masturbation should be done in a private place. In the shower or in bed at night under the covers works well for many guys.

One may masturbate as much or as little as one wishes, however one may experience temporary sexual exhaustion due to very frequent masturbation.

Three times a day works well for many teens.

1. Do it before school in the morning. This helps you get through the school day without being excessively h*rny.

2. Do it after school because you have gone a whole day without masturbating.

3. Do it before going to sleep. This helps with restful, sound sleep.

4. One may do it more than three times if necessary.

The movable, internally-lubricated, nerve-laden erogenous foreskin and its gliding action is an important aid to masturbation. If you are missing your foreskin, then you will need lubrication.

If you don’t have a foreskin, then you will need external lubrication to compensate for the loss of your foreskin. You will need to learn to slide your hand up and down the shaft. Some males purchase a personal lubricant, which is designed to provide lubricant for sexual intercourse. Others may use petroleum jelly, such as Vaseline (which is greasy), baby oil, vegetable oil, or saliva. Some foreskinned males also like to use lubrication, although it is not strictly necessary.

Products with harsh and irritating chemicals should be avoided. Shampoo and body wash have been reported to cause irritation.

Soap dries out the natural oils so it should be avoided as a lubricant. It should be used only for emergency masturbation.

Foreskin-deprived males who try to masturbate without lubrication are likely to suffer friction irritation and pain.

Frequency of masturbation has NO effect on penis size.
