History of masturbation

Masturbation is when someone touches their own body in a way that feels good. People have been doing this for a very long time, even back when there were cavemen! It's a very natural thing that lots of people do, but sometimes people feel embarrassed or ashamed about it.

In some old cultures, people might not have talked about masturbation openly or they might have thought it was wrong, but secretly they still did it. In some religious groups, people believed that masturbation was a sin or bad for their health. However, lots of modern doctors and scientists now say that there's no evidence that masturbation is bad for you.

So even though people have been masturbating for a very long time, it's only more recently that people are starting to talk about it more openly and not feel as embarrassed. It's important to remember that it's okay to do what makes you feel good, as long as you're not hurting anyone or breaking any rules.
