Ever since I was around 11 years of age, I've been masturbating (I'm a female!) with bathwater and etc. Yet when I hit around 16 to my current age it almost seems insatiable. I probably masturbate at least two to three times a day...
Is there a way to cure this or get over it? Make the urges stop coming?
First: There is nothing wrong with masturbation as long as it does not become an all encompassing activity. Meaning you would rather be home Masturbating then being out with friends doing whatever 16 year old do these days.
Second: Masturbation is a safe and pleasant way to relieve the sexual tension brought on by the hormones raging through you from puberty. You won't get pregnant and it is most unlikely to get an STD from fingering yourself.
Third: Masturbating two to three times a day for someone your age I believe is very normal. I would not worry about it.
Fourth and final: All the old wives tales as they are called that parent tell their children about masturbation are not true.
I don't know why parents tell these to their children, especially when masturbation is part of foreplay. In foreplay handjobs and fingering are given to one another to excite their partners. This is called mutual masturbation. If it is okay and normal to do so in sexual relations why would it be wrong to do so as self gratification.
My advice is to relax and enjoy the comfort and satisfaction you are receiving. Just make sure you have privacy and cannot be disturbed when masturbation.

Of course, if it interferes with your daily life e.g. you don't see friends as you are masturbating and so on, then its a problem. This is helped by having therapy, and is nothing to be embarrassed about.
