I am a 13 year old who masturbates, is it bad?

I masturbate quite often to be honest and im not very sure if it is the right thing to do as i have been taught not to. The problem is that i like it because it feels quite nice. I have also watched pornography before and frankly that makes it easier but in my head it doesnt feel right as i am able to produce semen and i can ***(ejaculate). My penis is 5 inches long when erect, is all of this normal for me?

Sounds pretty normal.  Read a book like "What's Going On Down There?" for a balanced perspective on adolescence and all the changes and questions that arise.

Masturbation is normal. The only problem is that it may leave you feeling wierd, like guilty and ashamed after doing it. But that shuld not be the case even though tht is what you will feel. If you can handle these emotions, great. If not then don-t get dragged down by negative feelings for the sake of masturbation.

Masturbation is perfectly normal, but in many families it is taboo. If you focus on it being "bad" it will confuse your own growing sexuality, so understand that nearly everybody masturbates, just some people are more honest about it than others. It is normal to be aroused by pornography, though I'd avoid getting hooked on it because it can become an addiction to the point where some people can't be aroused without it. Since you are so young, I would be careful letting this become a normal everyday part of your routine and maybe just a sometimes thing.

And by "everyday part" I mean the porno, not the masturbation. :)

Perfectly normal. You are becoming a man.

I'm 13 too, and masturbation is perfectly normal for our age. Nothing wrong, continue doing what you want to do, just don't masturbate in a prone position.
