What are advantages to female masturbation?

I was just wondering, I tried it for the first time today (I'm 16) and all my friends do it, but I was just wondering if there's any advantages.

And I was wondering how to find your spot inside your vagina ha. I just rubbed my clit, and I tried fingering myself but I didn't feel anything at all.

On the contrary there are a ton of advantages of masturbation in both men and women!
1. It is a cardiovascular workout
2. relieves stress
3. relieves menstrual cramps
4. natural cure for insomnia
5. Proven to reduce the risk for type II diabetes and Cervical infection
6. leads to self awareness, confidence and ultimately a wonderfully full filled sex life.
7. It feels GREAT!

If your not feeling anything through stimulation you are probably not in the right mood. The proper mindset is extremely important to masturbation. Start slowly and work up to what feels amazing to you. Everyone is different. First fantasize about something, anything that makes you feel aroused. Read something sensual or watch porn if that's appealing to you. Whatever it is that gets you in the mood start there. Then gradually start massaging your clit. Most women can achieve orgasm by just doing this, find a motion that works for you (i.e. figure 8's, abc's or random squiggles) and go to town. You can keep a consistent speed or increase the intensity as you go. Vaginal stimulation isn't a necessity but if it helps, or works for you go for it. You can also try using the shower head or bath faucet to your advantage. If all else fails and you feel comfortable talking about it, ask your friends. If they do it and like it, maybe they can offer you some advice for where to begin.
Best of luck on your journey!

First of all there aren't a whole lot of advantages, except for learning what gets you excited and works best for you in the bedroom. It often takes awhile to learn but you like, and what works for you.

Before you feel anything good, you will also have to be excited enough to become wet. If you aren't wet, then don't worry about it right then. If you are not properly excited rubbing your clit won't do anything. Once you are excited enough your clit will swell up and become more sensetive. Make sure you are completely aroused otherwise your rubbing and fingering is going to make you sore.

To find your "g" spot make a hook with your fingers, it should be just inside and will feel slightly spongey.

If you are still a virgin be incredibly careful.

Hope this helps
