So here we go, talking about the big bad world of MASTURBATION.

I know, it’s something most people don’t discuss freely and definitely don’t admit to trying or doing. But why is it so on the hush-hush!  We know it’s common thing, so why are we so embarrassed or nervous to talk about it? Well, for all of those out there who are too afraid to even type it into Google for fear it will show up in their histories, I’ve done the “dirty work” for you (pun sorta intended, just kidding, THIS IS NOT A DIRTY TOPIC!).

Masturbation. Couldn’t someone think of a cooler term to describe getting yourself off? It sounds so … mechanical.

Regardless of the actual word, I masturbate. Yeah, I said it. And sadly, most girls really won’t throw it out there like that. For some reason guys can just talk about jerking off as if it’s part of their morning routine — “I brushed my teeth, took a shower, wacked off, got dressed and went to class.”

Um, that never happens if you’re a girl. It’s more like, “I’m heading to bed early tonight” a.k.a. “I’m horny and I have a date with my vibrator.” Sure, my friends and I have had that conversation where you let the cat out of the bag, and they all admit it too. But there’s always that friend who’s like, “Guys, that’s gross, I don’t do that.”

Yeah, right! How the hell have you never touched yourself? It’s part of being a girl; it’s only natural to explore your body. And if you want to enjoy sex, you should seriously learn what turns you on.

So for all of you that are in denial of your female anatomy and afraid of getting a little “dirty,” I found a great article to help you out. Just read it. Give yourself an orgasm and learn what you’ve been missing.
