Times past and present; Wish that I had learned of Betty earlier in my life. Ever since I was 5 years years old and first experienced the tingley feeling when I played with myself, the joy of masturbation has continued to be a part of my life. My mother shaired her knowledge with me by making me aware of my body and how the parts worked. Don't get me wrong. She didn't show me how to make it tingle, but she did keep me aware of normal feelings that would naturally change as time passed. When I finally had my first period, it was expected and understood. Safe sex was an early part of growing up.

My scene was sex and control and being controlled by someone else. The more that person owned me the more aroused I got…and the more submissive…the more owned…the more I owned myself. Whipping was so mundane compared to being owned by someone.

My brother had a bunch of porn books in his file cabinet. When he went off to college, my girlfriends and I would read them all. I was laughing at them when I randomly picked up one book and read it aloud. I stopped, and put it in my pocket. I read that book (The Man and The Maid) 7 times straight. It took my breath away. I kept it under my bed. I thought maybe I needed to lose my virginity. I masturbated all the time.

I come from a generation of women who were taught our cunt was something we should be ashamed of, and masturbation was sinful and should never be engaged in, lest we spend eternity in hell. Thank goodness, my husband changed all that! He absolutely worships my cunt. We have intercourse every two-to-three days, and he makes sure I am completely satisfied and cum each time. We often engage in mutual masturbation, and we've become very adept at satisfying each other's needs. I've also learned my cunt is not ugly or dirty. I've been very fortunate that I don't experience vaginal dryness.

Baubo is one of many wild Grecian goddesses of sacred sexuality, the Crone- a wise old woman who is full of irreverent joy and comically lewd behavior. She has also been called the belly goddess of laughter and obscenity. A refreshing contrast to most contemporary images of old age, Baubo represents three aspects of women's lives: old age, sexuality, and transformative personal power though sexual liberation. Instead of an old woman ravaged by time with nothing about her that is remotely sexual, Baubo radiates her Crone sexual energy with a functioning postmenopausal orgasmic vulva! This last concept upsets all societies that scorn or totally deny older women's sexuality.

We will be more civilized and humane when beautiful genital imagery along with a positive attitude about masturbation is part of the sex education

In 1973, I joined with other feminists to plan the first NOW Conference on Women's Sexuality. During one of our early meetings, a friend asked, "What would you like to do for the plenary session?" Quite spontaneously I answered, "I want to do a slide show of split beaver for feminists." Almost everyone broke up laughing. For the benefit of two women, I had to explain "split beaver" was porno slang. One woman thought it was a very derogatory male term.

There is little doubt that feminism lost ground with the last two generations of young women. I believe one reason for this has been mainstream feminists focus on rape, incest, and violence against women and girls. It's time to rescue sex from violence. We need to acknowledge sexuality as the life force that allows us to procreate and fuels our creative impulses through repeated experiences with pleasure from orgasms with ourselves and with our partners.

During the month of February in 1973, I was running the next round of sexual CR groups when I got a call from Dell Williams. She insisted I get involved in the planning committee for the NOW Sexuality Conference. Dell would later open the first women's sex shop in New York City. Like me, she too was a Wilhelm Reich enthusiast and we both agreed about the importance of women's sexual liberation.

Here I am, shaving and shooting photos of my pussy, editing them in haste and uploading them before Betty and Carlin close down the gallery. Or before my sister, who came back when I just finished shooting, sees something. It's just my luck that she does. A vulva is splayed on my screen. She goes squealing to our mum. Since they don't know it's mine I can just say that I'm watching some erotic photos. I don't want to play the educator today. They buy it. Peace at last.

This is my best friend. She's beautiful. She looks pretty and she feels great. She is always there and never lets me down. I really like her a lot.

I used to think my inner labia was way too small, and not so normal compared to others I have seen. Now I love how small they are and so does my boyfriend. I actually love the appearance of my entire pussy now! Sometimes I fantasize about another woman licking my clit. My boyfriend would definitely love to watch that, and it would turn me on even more having someone watch. I love letting many people look at my pussy anonymously. :) I always keep it shaved completely so it is nice and smooth. I love to touch myself even more when it's freshly shaven. I love it when my boyfriend kisses and touches my pussy gently, but even more when he fucks it really hard. I do love the nice, sensual sex, but I can only orgasm from a rough fucking.

Sometimes shooting pictures is a great turn on. This was one of those moments. After about fifteen minutes of shooting, my photog was looking at images on the computer. I was soon pulling on my lips and gently stroking my clit. As we started shooting again, my firm, spread lips gave me away. The photog put a big pillow on the floor, and I lay back against the cold wall and got serious. The squishy sounds of my sopping pussy were even louder than my moans. In no time I was totally in the moment pulling my nipple with one hand and doing hard tight circles with two fingers on my clit. I wasn't even a little embarrassed when I stared at the photog while I licked my two favorite fingers.

I have been maturbating ever since I discovered my clitoris at a young age I would say somewhere around 10 years old. When I first started out I generally just used my hands but found different objects over the years that I found could get me aroused easily. Any vibrating object would be my best choice however, I have not learned to control my orgasm when using one. I also have not been able to have mulitiple orgasms because I am just too sensitive to touch after I cum. If anyone has any pointers please feel free to drop me a line and enjoy the photos!
