After hearing countless sex histories from girls and women over the past four decades, I believe sexual repression begins the moment a parent or caregiver punishes a child’s natural curiosity for touching their own sex organs.
Society needs to understand that the health of each person’s sexlife rests upon childhood masturbation— the foundation upon which all of human sexuality is based. It’s very consistent that each client I see struggling with orgasms as an adult has no memory of masturbating in childhood or in their teens. The absence of this natural self-exploration interferes with the development of nerve pathways that carry positive sensations from our genitals to the pleasure center in the brain. This blocks or slows down the development of sexual release with orgasm.
Indiana University released their national sex survey - we had to review their findings. It seems that the clitoris still reigns supreme.
Over the years, one frequently asked question comes from women and a few men who are unable to incorporate their current method of masturbation into partnersex.
Many have carried the same pattern of childhood masturbation over into adulthood and it's now the only way they can get off. Some are stimulating their genitals with one or both hands pressed between legs that are tightly squeezed together while lying face down on their tummies- not conducive to sharing orgasms with another person. Others are humping folded blankets, wooden floors, riding the arm of an overstuffed chair or pressing against hard counter tops.
Betty sketched these vulvas for the release of her international best seller Sex for One. Scarleteen and Planned Parenthood have reproduced these images as a sex education resource. Knowing that there is a range of vulva types has healed millions of women.
I just love this piece. Who knew that women get erections just like men:
Kind of ironic, isn't it? You can flaunt your breasts to titillate men but if you use them for their intended purpose everyone freaks out.
A fascinating new study by researchers at University of Nebraska-Lincoln, demonstrates actual cognitive differences between conservative people and liberal people.
“In a series of experiments, researchers closely monitored physiological reactions and eye movements of study participants when shown combinations of both pleasant and unpleasant images. Conservatives reacted more strongly to, fixated more quickly on, and looked longer at the unpleasant images; liberals had stronger reactions to and looked longer at the pleasant images compared with conservatives.”
At first blush, this may not seem like a big thing, but honestly, it helps us to understand why the differences between viewpoints can be so extreme.
opened this email from head_space...felt so proud:
Dear Betty and dear Carlin,
I just watched your scenes from the Trekant episode (via the link you provided) and just wanted to thank you both with all my heart for doing this! I live in Germany which is probably similarly laid back about sex in general but female masturbation and vulvas are rarely discussed. I sincerely hope that this documentary is going to be dubbed in several languages because the information and images are so important.
When you strip down pornography to its essence, it's just one creature getting off watching another creature experience pleasure.
Hi,
I've never been a big fan of oral sex, but my current boyfriend really seems to like it so I want to get better at it. Problem is, I cannot seem to "hide" my teeth well and hurt him. He is very thick, and I do not have a big mouth. Please give me as many tricks as you can!!!
Thanks!
Dear M,
And it doesn't necessarily mean they're gay...but it does mean that in 1927 men could express deep, platonic feelings for each other with a kiss.
Beautiful.
My childhood fantasies revolved around being fabulously rich & famous, because I didn’t know that one could be rich without fame.
The reason I wanted to be rich was so that I could buy a gigantic mansion and live with all of my friends in it. Between the ages of 7 and 8, before I really understood sex, I imagined kissing and cuddling with all of them in a big pile.
Between 2004-2009 homebirth rates in the US rose by a huge 29%. While the percentage out of total births in the US was still extremely low (as of 2009 it was .72% of all births) the change is a notable shift. And a shift that may account for why the American Congress of Obstetrics and Gynecology (ACOG) started a veritable smear campaign around 2009.
Though at the present time, the percentage of homebirths doesn't have much impact on the big business of obstetrics, if it continues to rise at a rate of 29% every five years, it won't be long before ACOG and hospitals start feeling that loss of business.
Dear Betty and Carlin,
Thank you for reading my question. I appreciate your time and perspective and I hope that my email addresses a worthy, yet lesser-discussed topic that will interest your audience.
QUESTION
I have been asking myself: “Do I need to accept medical celibacy due to a low libido, anorgasmia and dyspareunia?” If so, do you have recommendations for accepting this lifestyle?”
