this may be a wierd question but i'm new to this whole thing.....?

a couple of days ago i over heard my boyfriend and his friends talking about something.... i understood most of what they were talking about but i don't know what one thing meant... what does it mean to masturbate?

Update:

by the way for the people who decided to make me feel like i'm stupid. thanks a lot you have now totally crushed my self confidence. and you are all asses if you said anything like that. and thanks to the people who actually wrote something helpful. i mean honestly. and a couple other things

1. i'm old enough to have a boyfriend i just didn't know what that meant

2. i'm not sexually involved with him at all

3. i overheard him and his friends talking about it

4. if you think i was going to ask my parents about that you are crazy

5. i never had to take a sex ed. class so screw whoever said to go back to one or anything like that

once again thanks to whoever actually wrote something helpful

    THAT IS NOT A WEIRD QUESTION! masturbating is a safe way of pleasuring yourself (alone and in private) in a sexual manner, without having sex. men and women both can experience this. a person can use their hands, fingers, etc. or for the more experienced, there are a variety of different sex toys.

    Hope this helped & remember, there are no stupid questions!

    P.S. FOR ALL OF YOU WHO HAD RUDE ANSWERS: some of you people are really cruel... she was only asking an innocent question! you don't know how old she is, and she never said she was sexually active! having a boyfriend does not mean that she is / should be having sex and without knowing more, you shouldn't encourage or make her feel embarrassed / ashamed for asking a question on a site designed for ASKING QUESTIONS!

    It is self-stimulation. Men generally stroke their penises rapidly to simulate sex. They may use pictures or fantasies to help the process. Women often use a vibrator on their clitoris to simulate sexual congress. Look up the words you don't know. It's ALL about sexual stimulation. You seem new to EVERYTHING...keep asking questions and keep your legs firmly crossed!

    It's a sexual sin. Use a dictionary. Don't do it. Tell him you want him to stop. How old are you? You should probably not be dating if you don't know what that is. Uh. No dating. Listen to your parents.
