((Indie)) - try not to let religious groups like that get to you. I agree it would be a difficult topic to talk about in real life, even with your T. There are many people world wide, especially from the older generation who grew up, thinking masturbation was wrong, so they carry around this shame. Even someone who might think it's normal may find it challenging to talk about it and that's why I started my thread.

It just doesn't make sense why something that's completely pleasurable and harmless could be viewed as wrong. It's not wrong for people to derive pleasure from their own bodies.
