Oh MY! How blue!

Like I need an excuse! lol.

hell yes. my roommate is out of town tonight :)

You don't have to tell me twice. I have little time to do so because I'm so busy tonight... but you can bet I will make time, even if it means doing it while on the phone with my boyfriend. ; )

Now that's a suggestion I can take with pleasure.

If I knew how to, I would.

Excellent plan.

Lilly, and anyone else who needs it: http://www.clitical.com/ and http://myvag.net/masturbation/ --I'm sure there are other sites out there and I hope other readers will contribute!

Clare,

Thank you for posting those sites! The only problem is that the first site assumes that the reader knows where the clitoris is and I kinda... don't. I saw a diagram on feministing once but I still don't really get it.

Thanks, Miriam, but where were you when I needed you 50-plus years ago? ;-)

@Lilly & all the ladies out there: the one, the only, betty dodson! http://www.bettydodson.com/ i absolutely reccommend her book Sex for One: The Joy of Selfloving (formerly entitled: Liberating Masturbation) to anyone mystified by the process of their own pleasure. you can youtube her too!

happy self sexual hump day!

Thanks! Touching yourself is a key way to reconnect with yourself and get through the week!
Even incorporating a little masturbation during sex can be amazing. Blur the line between alone and together. And, if you think this feels good, then why not extend this to other realms of your love life? Sure, living together can be great, after all maybe there's just one person that you really want to be around all the time... but sometimes even the utmost togetherness of living together should be broken up by getting back to yourself. Breaking up the togetherness only strengthens it in the long run... what I'm basically saying is that for orgasmic living together conditions, alone time is key. And when you don't know where to find the energy to keep going in your relationship, you should always remember that electricity comes from other planets. So, when you're feeling down, give yourself some alone time for intergalactic travel with lou reed and that should do the trick. Watercoloring with kindergarteners is also good... color therapy.

done, baby.

maybe that site isn't as cool as i thought it was, but the principle is rockin'.

I am appalled at myself for not even KNOWING about this day designated for loving my body--though I did have an amazingly delicious Pilates session anyway!

How's about going for a WEEK next year???

And thanks for all of those great sites and of course for making sure that all feminists of every stripe know about the UNBELIEVABLE Betty Dodson. At 80+ years old, her gorgeous radiance--not to mention skin--are the best shout out for masturbation and pleasure that I've ever encountered!

Ah, Lilly, not so! http://myvag.net/faq/ Scroll halfway down this page--there are instructions for finding your clitoris. I found it very helpful myself.

So I'm online right now at my school and as I read the word "masturbate" some one started moving the desk and it all came out funny because it was all put together without even knowing.
or am i just very immature? haha

Aww, this was yesterday, and I had a review board last night and was really tired when I got home and never got around to it...I'll just have to put in a little extra later. Bummer!
