Hi Dr. Betty,
Your Genital Art Gallery is a great feature of your Website, and I admire your constant dedication to self-loving. Here's my contribution to the Gallery.
I think I learned about masturbation very early using my teddy bear, about the age 6. At 10, I remember playing doctor with neighborhood pals, both male and female, with much zest. I also remember being more advanced at masturbation than the others, thanks to teddy, but no orgasms yet.
My mother was wonderful about sex and she told everything I was ready to hear, which was a lot. When I had my first orgasm at 13, I knew exactly what had happened and I proudly announced the event to Mother. When I told her I wanted to have sex with one of my boyfriends at 15, she supplied condoms and made sure I knew how to use them. She was a brick!
All through college, I masturbated almost daily. And most of my sex with young guys was mutual masturbation which I liked better than screwing because most guys didn't know how to excite me and they always rushed everything.
I'm 24 now, and a law clerk. I love sex and always have two or three boyfriends at a time. That way, the sex is light-hearted and exploratory. Masturbation is always my base so I am never needy.
Keep up your great work, Betty. You have been an inspiration to millions.
Love, Diana
