Should I Use Lube to Masturbate?
Should I use lube when I masturbate every day at 13??
Some people choose to use lubricant as a way to increase pleasure during masturbation because they enjoy the way it feels. It is simply a personal choice of whether or not you would like to do so.
Some people experience irritation or allergic reactions when using lubricant. Thus, if you do decide to use lubricant, TeenHealthFX advises you to choose a product that is safe. Avoid lubricants that claim to be numbing or warming, or are heavy in fragrances.
You mentioned that you masturbate every day. Medically speaking, there is no harm in masturbation. However, if you feel that masturbation is stopping you from enjoying things such as spending time with family and friends, and/or excelling in sports and extracurricular activities, contact your doctor.
If you don't have a doctor and live in northern New Jersey, you can call the Adolescent/Young Adult Center for Health at 973-971-5199 for an appointment with an adolescent medicine specialist or contact your local teen health center or Planned Parenthood. A Planned Parenthood health center is a good option if you have concerns about cost or confidentiality issues. You can also contact your insurance company for a list of in-network providers.
