Hi. I'm seventeen going on eighteen and since the end of this past summer I have discovered and been actively partcipating in mastirbatung in the tub. At first I did it to the tub faucet but then I discovered the shower head was much more effective and quicker when it came to producing an orgasm. I say that I do it from four to six times a week. However I found out that this is douching? And that's bad right? I mean I feel fine after sometimes a little sore but that's it. My parts also swell up a bit right after but that's normL right? Should I kck this habit and stop masturbating for my health? I don't want to harm my body
I would say that you should probably stop with the showerhead, since you are swelling. It could eventually lead to something harmful. HOWEVER, you most definitely do not have to stop masturbating for your health!!! It's actually very healthy to masturbate!!!!!!! Rather than stopping, I would suggest switching devices. It is easy to find a vibrator or dildo that is more healthy, and will probably be even more effective for you! You can even find a waterproof one, and one that is similar in size to that of your showerhead. Good luck, and happy shopping!!! XD
No, I do not believe that that is douching. I use the shower head all the time and sometimes think that its not good for water to go up there. But really, if you push hard the water will run right out.Douching isnt really good for your health.
as long as it involves/limited to clitoral stimulation and it doesn't "wash" the inside of your vagina, that's perfectly okay. Douching actually involves flushing the inside of your vaginal vault and that is bad and unhealthy because it changes the protective internal pH, converting the pH from mildly acidic (normal/good) to alkaline (abnormal/bad). That alkaline environment then predisposes to infections and things like bacterial vaginosis. So as long as it is just clitoral stimulation and it gives you intense pleasure, go for it.
