I'm worried that my experience is abnormal and that I figured things out much later than others. I didn't figure out how to touch myself in a way that felt good until I was 20 - and even then, only did because I had a boyfriend and wanted to figure out how to have sex with him better, not because it was something that I enjoyed or was interested in personally. I felt very much like I was the odd one out because of that.

Like you - around 19-20, but I started alone and basically by accident. I heard of masturbation and tried to masturbate as a teen but since there was no sensation, I stopped - I could not comprehend what it was all about.
Probably a year or a year and a half passed until I could orgasm with a boyfriend, being 21.
There have been many threads about this both on this forum and on the one for women's issues, and yes, absolutely,
20 is on the later side of the range, but it is not abnormal or bad. It is just being a little late. I had very late puberty - maybe that is why I started late on solo sexuality.
