“Although most boys figure out how to bring themselves to orgasm by age thirteen, half of girls don’t have their first orgasms until their late teens, twenties, or beyond. Teenage girls widely agree that they get the message loud and clear that masturbation is something boys do, but girls don’t, can’t, or shouldn’t. The cultural focus on intercourse tells young women to expect they’ll begin to experience sexual pleasure once they have sex with a man (whether or not they’re even interested in sex with men). Nearly all teen boys, on the other hand, experience sexual pleasure long before they get their hands—or other body parts—into a partner’s pants. Despite the massive advances in women’s equality, young women’s sexuality is stuck in a surprising paradox. Young women are sold provocative clothes but aren’t taught where to find their own clitoris. Many girls give their boyfriends oral sex, but are too uncomfortable with their own bodies to allow the guys to return the favor. It’s still a radical act to say that women need and deserve access to information about their own sexual pleasure—not just about the risks and negative consequences of sex.”
this is long but based on some of the sex talk we've had i think some anons need to hear it.
i definitely do o/ i still don't know how to do anything and i keep procrastinating on finding femslash to teach me, partially because the pressure mentioned in that... excerpt?
it's an excerpt from i love female orgasm :) yeah it took me a long time to get comfortable exploring myself and i'm still not comfortable enough to let anyone else touch me :(
ig i'm an oddity, i remember fapping as a child. lol, i remember one time, when i was in middle school, i stayed up all night fapping and fell asleep in class the next day bc of it.
lol i rmb hearing stories from a family member about how i used to lay on the living room couch and like... put my hands over myself and push back and forth. they always tried to stop me but i would always get really fussy.
i'm not trying to be contrary, because i do think that this is true, but honestly i never felt like this at all while growing up. it wasn't until i was much older that i realized that other people felt this way about masturbation.
thankfully we're anon since this is gonna reach tmi territory and quick, but i didn't have an orgasm til i was 18. i tried masturbating more than a few times, but even though i read scarleteen and all that stuff and knew where my clit was, i didn't realize i had to think about sexy things while i masturbated. seriously.
relatedly this is how i didn't realize i was gay til i was 18.
