Defining idea: “Masturbation: the primary sexual activity of mankind. In the nineteenth century it was a disease; in the twentieth it’s a cure.” Thomas Szasz, psychiatric specialist
How did it go?
Q: Whatever I do, I can’t seem to find anything pleasurable about touching my clitoris. Is there something wrong with me?

A: The short answer is no. A 1994 survey by the University of Chicago’s National Opinion Research Center found that 10 percent of women don’t experience orgasm at all; although once a woman learns how to do it she rarely loses the ability. For about one in ten women the vaginal lips have more nerve endings than the clitoris. Other women have alternative hot spots, so don’t worry if this isn’t a crucial spot for you. Before trying again, stimulate yourself mentally first and touch your clitoris only when you are already in a state of arousal. The clitoris is like a small bud, covered by a “hood” of loose skin, so take care to pull away its protective cover.
