Sex is with another person or persons. Sex needs to be consensual, meaning you both want to do it. You can stop having sex at any time. Sex should feel good for both partners.

Masturbation is a type of sexual pleasure that you give to yourself. It could involve touching your genitals, your breasts or chest, or any other form of touch that gives you a pleasurable, sexy feeling.

Private things can be places, behaviour, talk, body parts, and types of touch. Private places are where no one can see or hear you.

Some examples of private places are your bedroom (if there is no one in it, and the door and blinds are shut) or the toilet at home when the door is shut. You can do private behaviours in these places such as masturbate, have sex, or look at pornography. You can only do private behaviours in private places otherwise there are legal consequences.
