I was surfing net for techniques info and sh*t and i found a site about medical conditions if u should be worried and sh*t and and there was a question place and one of the questions is are you gay? and it turns out teens between 12+ go through a phase where they think there gay it turns out its the urge to compare etc so if u wanna decide to be gay or straight do it at like 16+
Why would you wish to stop? It's a great way of getting to know your body and enjoying pleasure. Maybe what you need to do is lessen the frequency. I'm thinking masturbation can be something people do when they are bored, so maybe you might find another interest to take your mind off it, and save the masturbation for bedtime or morning time? More to the point, use some lube - good oil like olive oil is great, though have tissues around to ensure it doesn't get everywhere! And don;t rush it - take your time, and find out what strokes you enjoy the most.
