I came over from the teen pregnancy group, not to bother you guys, but because I feel I could get a more knowledgeable respond here.

I know both orgasms cause your brain to release oxytocin (the natural form of pitocin, which they use to induce labor), which makes my question seem pretty dumb. Both orgasms release oxytocin, which can cause you to go into labor, but can masturbating cause labor? I'm sort of nervous about it, and I feel odd asking (but I'm going crazy here, girls!).
