Your call: It's really up to you! If you feel like masturbating to relieve the pressure/pleasure you feel then go for it. Then again, you're not harming anything by leaving it alone either. Totally up to you! Best wishes!

Hello, I am 17 years old and I have an irregular period and I am over weight. I masterbate, and everytime I masterbate I bleed a little or a lot afterwards, but it does not hurt at all. I'm worried about myself. I masterbate above the clitoris.
