NSFW - how often do you masturbate?

so hi LOL i feel like i’ve posted so many times in this subreddit over the past few days . but im 21 and i feel like (and i don’t know if this is normal) ive ever really… explored my body properly. i’ve always felt this shame towards it and i don’t know, in some ways felt “dirty” for thinking about sex? i don’t know why. but i would really like to change my relationship with sex and develop a more sex-positive attitude towards myself. i was wondering how often do you masturbate??? when did you start?? do you think that masturbating helped you whenever you started having lesbian sex for the first time??? LOL thank you
