Absolutely not. Masturbation, as long as you are not angry at yourself for doing it, is a fabulous thing for your body. It improves your circulation, makes you live longer, get's your heart pumping better, makes you fall asleep easier, gives you more sexual feelings - all in all it rocks! Anything negative people have told you about masturbation is false. The only thing that could be bad about it is that it should be done in a private area and if you do it too hard or without lubrication you could chafe yourself raw. So, have fun flogging the dolphin, do it before a test! It may help you remember the answers better! Thanks for writing in! Megan Andelloux
