Is it normal for teenagers to masturbate when they're alone? Yeah, that's something I do when no one is at home and I just wish that I can find something else to do besides that. Of course there are. Reading, watching television, playing video games, and webcaming are all options. However, when it comes to resisting the urge, I can't. I just do it right then and there, and then afterwards I'm like why did I do that? I could have found something more productive to do than masturbate. Until I learned how to do it, I had no idea that there was such a thing.
