People have a lot of different views on pornography and masturbation. Some people will tell you it's wrong, some people will tell you it's right. To tell the truth, it's up to you to make up your mind about these things. It's like somebody that drinking is good or bad, or which religion to believe in. It really is a personal choice.
Pornography is an adult activity, masturbation is not. Since your not old enough to drink or use pornography, I would suggest you stick only to masturbation for now, and use your imagination, that should be good enough. There are some things in life you must work out for yourself, and the question pornography is one of those things. If it's legal in your country, when you are of the right age, you decide if it's suitable for you and if it's not then forget all about it.
Many people like to push their views and morality on you. Make up your own mind when you get older, but for now, masturbation is fine.

Hello,
I agree with what has been said so far -- pornography can't really be good for you. It gives you a really false depiction of what sex is like. Ultimately porn will just mess with your head, and as exciting as it is, it's probably better if you just take it out of your life now. I say this also because I am dealing with an addiction to pornography, and I started looking at it even younger than yourself. Be careful, it is a dangerous thing.
As for masturbation, most people say it's a normal and healthy part of growing up. But, again, it can become a bad habit. It;s almost inevitable that every boy will discover masturbation, usually by accident and on his own. But this doesn't mean that masturbation every day is a good thing. I would say it's not. Especially if it interferes with other parts of your life.
So, in the end, I would say yes: porn and masturbation everyday is a bad thing. It will give you false perceptions of sex, and can potentially lead to really scary and addictive habits which you will regret later in life. Just be careful man, and don't let these tings control you.

As the others have said, guys your age need to masturbate. Its a fact of life. Different guys do it different amounts.
The most important thing you must realize is that pornography is pornography because it isn't real, and fulfill a fantasy. If you can realize this and when you do get a partner, co-operate in sex rather than trying the stuff you see, you will be perfectly healthy physically and relationship-wise.
If anything, masturbation relieves stress.

The masturbation is normal for your age.
The porn is not.
If you watch these actresses fake it all day everyday then it is bound to have an affect on how you will view real girls and how you think sex actually is.
Porn is not real and many girls your age would not want to be with a boy who watches it.
Good Luck!! xx

No its not bad. As long as it doesn't interfere with your social and academic life. You also need to remember to not see women as sexual objects who only perform sex for a man's pleasure. As porn can affect how young men view sex. But other than that just enjoy it :)
Most people masturbate. It is perfectly healthy.
