Touching your own breasts is normal. This doesn’t mean you’re gay or bi-curious. Many girls/women enjoy the feeling while massaging their breasts and nipples, for example, while washing up, or at other times. Whether or not you become aroused, it’s completely normal. Feeling comfortable with touching your breasts is a good thing, particularly when it’s time to check them for any lumps or bumps!
