I started when I was seven or eight, is that unhealthy? I always just told myself everybody did it and it was OK. When did you guys start?
There is absolutely nothing unhealthy about it. There are only two main precautions:
1. If you don't wash your hands afterwards (I wouldn't blame you - it doesn't generally come to mind), you increase the risk of spreading STDs. Many people naturally are infected with things including STDs that they but not others are immune to.
2. I'm not exactly sure why. However, it's viewed as bad at any age depending upon your religion. If you're not very religious, it shouldn't matter to you.
Regardless of what anyone may tell you, you are one of billions of both men and women that masturbate and it is perfectly fine and it is not dangerous.
