Have you talked to your father about this? I'm pretty sure he will be very understanding. It would be a really awkward talk, but it seems like a good idea. The internet is anonymous and it makes it easier for you to ask questions. But if you have someone in real life you can talk to, then it would be a good idea to do just that.
Never forget that every adult had to go through this
I hope this is not seen as inappropiate, but, well, I believe every teenager has the right to know how 'things' work. This is how masturbation works, pretty much.
When you are not circumcised, you pull back and forth your foreskin with your hand. You use your foreskin to stimulate your glans (the pink part at the end of the penis).
When you are circumcised (the glans is not covered by your foreskin and can be seen at all times), you usually use some kind of lotion or lubricant to masturbate and use your hand to stimulate your glans directly. Some people use their saliva. It depends on how sensitive your glans is. Some people don't have to use anything.
When you go onto the wikipedia page on masturbation (there's a category for male masturbation), you will find pictures of ''how" things work. However, there are some very, well, detailed pictures on that website. I don't wanna scare you. It's not pornographic, but it's pictures of genitalia.
If your glans is covered by your foreskin and you are not able to pull back your foreskin at all (so you can see the pink glans), that would be a different issue. You probably don't have it, but if you do, don't freak out. It's a frequent problem. In that case, you would have to talk to your parents.
Sooo. Some sex-ed on the mental health subforum :D
If you have any more questions, you can ask, but it's probably better to talk to your dad or an older brother if you have one.
