Hi and thanks for your question. Masturbation is a word used to describe any activity that brings a person sexual pleasure when they are by themselves. So, yes, what you have been doing with yourself would be considered masturbation. Masturbation is a wonderful, healthy outlet for your sexual feelings or sex appeal. You can't hurt yourself and there's no possiblity of getting any sexually transmitted infections or other sicknesses. Millions of people masturbate every day around the world and it is a great way to relieve stress and anxiety. As for your virginity, that is really something you need to decide. For most people, losing their virginity means engaging in penis-vagina intercourse. Obviously this doesn't apply for homosexual people and so they use a different definition. Other people consider oral sex or genital touching to mean that they have lost their virginity. Being a virgin or not a virgin is a really abstract concept and in the large scheme of things means very little to anyone but yourself. You always have the choice to engage or not engage in any sexual behavior whether you are a virgin or not. I really hope this helps you out. Take care of yourself and good luck, Scott Gross
