Guilt is a very common, but very unfortunate, side-effect of masturbation. Depending on how you were raised, your religious background, etc., it can be almost enough to stop you from masturbating altogether. But you have to absolutely trust the idea that there's nothing wrong with it, that it's perfectly healthy and normal, that just about everyone does it, and that it's good practice for your later sex life.
