Dear Alice,
I have a comment, rather than a question. I see many
questions from young folks who are concerned about
masturbation and wonder if it is harmful. I am
seventy years old and have masturbated at least once,
sometimes two or three times a day, for most of my
life, since I was about ten years old. I still do it.
I am healthy, happy, have several grown children and
grandchildren. Masturbation has been a constant,
welcome, warm, and healthful companion. My advice?
Enjoy it, and let your body be your guide.
