Finally, sex is a form of intimacy and therefore attitudes towards sex will be influenced by attitudes towards intimacy in general. How willing are you to share your personal thoughts in real life with appropriate other people around you? How much closeness do you allow to others in your life? If thoughts of allowing closeness to others sounds horrifying to you, then it is quite possible that those attitudes would spill over into an aversion to sex (whether or not there was sexual abuse in your past).
I agree with others who suggest that speaking with a therapist who is well-versed and competent in sexual issues could be very helpful.

I take it you dont have sex education in your location schools\ health classes and gym classes and have not had the opportunity to take any college leval science\ biology\ health classes, and do not have children.
in general children as young as months old masturbate. masturbation is one of those instinctual behaviors that all species have. including human beings. procreation insures the survival of the species, for all including human beings.
heres something for you to do...go to any store, playground or other place where children are. watch the children and you will see a child suddenly put their hands where they shouldnt go in public and the parent removing the hand and most likely talking with the child about his\her body and what is private parts.
if you have any relatives with babies watch what happens when the parent is changing that childs diaper. one of the first things a babies hands go to is their genitals when the diaper comes off. why instinct.
it is only after parents and others have taught very young children under 5 about their private parts and what is acceptable in public and what isnt that the child learns to control those instincts to masturbate (explore, self sooth and self satisfy.)
