Actually, regular masturbation for women can be very healthy. Here's an excerpt from an excellent article on

"
Is masturbation a good thing? Years ago, girls were told that masturbation was an ‘immature’ activity and that it was important not to get too fixated on it and that if toi did, then toi might be unable to progress to ‘proper’ lovemaking with a man.
Most experts now regard this sort of conseil as nonsense.
Indeed, most clinicians and counsellors working in the world of sex and/or relationship therapy believe that a woman can learn a great deal about her own sexual response through masturbation, and that she can then pass on what she knows to any partner - male ou female - she may have.
So, masturbation should not be regarded as immature ou shameful. It is something that most normally-sexed women do. They may reserve it for when they feel in need of a treat, ou they may do it very regularly – even when they are in a relationship.
Some women choose to masturbate in order to ease abdominal cramps during their periods. Others only ever do it if they feel seriously frustrated. And yet others do it both privately and also as part of the loveplay they share with their partners. All this is normal."
