Sexy Fridays: Lesbian Masturbation

By , About.com GuideAugust 27, 2010

Follow me on:

Most of us get our start in sexuality by masturbating. Masturbation teaches us what turns us on, how we like to be touched and how to please ourselves. Once you know what turns you on, you can share that information with a partner, or use it to please yourself whenever you feel moved to do so.

As women, we often aren't told much about our bodies, we're often ashamed of them and how they look. Women who enjoy their sexuality are often given degrading names, called loose or promiscuous. None of this leads to a healthy sexual self-image.

Masturbation is a safe and healthy way to get to know your body and explore your sexuality. If you're unsure of your sexual orientation, fantasizing about women while you touch yourself is one way figure out what you might like to do and have done to you by another woman.

There’s nothing wrong with masturbating. 99.9% of the people in this world has done it more than once in their lifetime.

It’s also ok, if you choose not to share that information with your partner or friends. We’re all entitled to some secretes.

I’ve masturbated since I was 3 yrs old. My parents threw cold water on me. I simply found safer spots to do it. It was important later for me to know what was supposed to happen with someone else.

We have an 8 yr old daughter and we just assume she’s masturbating since we’ve seen her in compromising positions. All we say is “make sure when you touch yourself that your hands are clean.”

Share it with your partner…it opens the door to a entirely different part of your relationship. Watching my partner masturbate is amazing..it then can lead to some very hot sex!
