Scarleteen

Hey, im thirteen and i masturbate, i would like to know if i have to stop masturbating to have a wet dream and how long will it take. Do i even have to have a wet dream in puberty or not? I would also like to purchase a sex toy or something like that as i am interested in that but i dont want my parents to find out, what do i do?
Thanks- Jako

Also thinking about having sex, thoughts???

Hey Jako, welcome to scarleteen!

Actually, wet dreams are something that not all people experience. Puberty is something that is caused by hormones released by your body. So while it's sometimes described as something that *could* happen during puberty it has no way of actually causing puberty... That's something bodies do on their own and you are certainly not delaying it or doing anything disruptive by masturbating.

Basically, it's all good!
