If you grew up thinking masturbation was sinful or didn’t hear much about it one way or the other, you probably never learned masturbation is both normal and healthy. This could leave you with some feelings of shame or confusion around getting off.

It can feel a little awkward to talk about sex, especially if you’re still adjusting to your sexuality. It’s not uncommon to completely avoid conversations about sexuality, horniness, and related topics, even with a sexual partner.

If you can’t escape these thoughts, grab a piece of paper and write the details down (just make sure you’re in a place where it’s safe to scribble these thoughts). Save the paper to give to your partner when you see them next. Gender-specific terms for genitals can also complicate masturbation for some transgender or nonbinary people if they feel somewhat disconnected from body parts that don’t match their gender identity. If you’ve studied a little too long or spent more time on a repetitive work task than you intended, your thoughts may start to wander.
