The €14,000 (£12,500) campaign includes leaflets and flyers on self-respect and contraception alongside workshops featuring instruction on masturbation techniques, The Guardian reports.
The socialist government of the Extremadura region said that it hopes to help teenagers with "sexual self-exploration and the discovery of self-pleasure".
Youth council president Laura Garrido said: "The campaign is simple, clear, natural and easily understood by the people it is aimed at, who are aged between 14 and 17."
However, Hernández Carrón of the opposition People's party said: "This is an intimate subject that should be dealt with at home. We have become the laughing stock of Spain."
La Vanguardia columnist Pilar Rahola added: "Extremadura should be pleased with itself. It may have the most unemployed young people in Spain, but they will be the best at masturbation."
