Here you will find people discussing openly much more ribald topics than masturbation. Well over half of all women masturbate with some frequency. You are suffering from religious hangover having been taught for so long that "nice girls don't touch themselves down there" or some such. I was raised in the most sexually repressed part of Europe in the Hebrides and somehow lived through it, probably because my mother was much more open than most. And, religion was not a major factor for our family; we went through the motions because it was expected by society.
Regrettably, many women feel the same as you and that is one reason that about a quarter of use never, or rarely, experience orgasm. There is some wonderful literature from the active days of the Women's Movement that changed many women's thinking about their sexuality (and shocked much of society). Fear of Flying, Speedboat, The Women's Room, Looking for Mr Goodbar. All good reads and all are stories of relief from sexual repression. If you are a reader, try them.
Remember that without sex several billion of us would not be around! Religions that emphasize the beauties of parenthood but the evils of sex are a bit less than rational.
