If at all possible set aside at least an hour in a warm room that's completely private. Turn off the phone and put your cell phone in another room. Wash you hands and make sure you have smooth clean fingernails.</p> <p>1. For your genital examination you will want a make-up mirror that stands alone with at least an eight-inch mirror surface. Improvise: A mirror on a closet door.</p> <p>2. A gooseneck desk lamp is the best or some light source that can be aimed between your legs. Improvise: Light coming through a window.</p> <p>3. A bottle of massage oil such as almond, coconut, apricot or avocado.</p> <p>4. A towel to sit on.<br> <br> <strong>GENITAL EXAM:</strong> To learn about the form and function of your vulva, it's essential to start off with a genital exam. Get a soft towel and put it on the floor or a bed with some kind of back support. Place the mirror so you have a view of your entire genital area. Aim a bright light between your legs. Oil your hands. Now spend a few minutes doing a genital massage while observing your vulva in the mirror. Enjoy the pleasurable feelings as you press, kneed and move your hands over the entire area.</p> <p>1. Spread your outer lips apart to explore your vulva's intricate internal design with its delicate folds.</p> <p>2. Locate your clitoris at the top of your vulva just below where the pubic hair begins.</p> <p>3. Identify the shaft and hood of the clitoris. Pull the hood back so you can see your clitoral glans.</p> <p>4. With a well-oiled finger, touch the tip of your clitoral glans.</p> <p>5. Next using different kinds of pressure from light to firm above, or on either side of the clitoris.</p> <p>6. Spread your inner lips apart with both hands. See if you can locate your urethra, a tiny opening nestled somewhere below the clitoris and above the vaginal opening.</p> <p>7. Locate your vaginal opening. It will appear as small folds that will part when you enter with your finger.</p> <p>8. The hymen is a membrane that partially covers the vaginal opening. When we reach puberty, most hymens naturally open and separate so your vagina can be penetrated. If this membrane is unusually tough it might have to be surgically opened, but this is very rare. Many women like Carlin and myself never saw our hymens.</p> <p><strong>VAGINAL SELF PENETRATION:</strong> Make sure you have covered the area with plenty of oil. After spending several minutes doing clitoral stimulation, take a deep breath and as you exhale, press into your vaginal opening slowly using you finger pad not the tip. Stop if you feel any discomfort. Now take another breath and repeat. Each time go back to clitoral stimulation and focus on releasing your vaginal and anal muscles.</p> <p><strong>T</strong><strong>HE PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLE (or PC muscle):</strong> You've heard of women practicing their Kegel exercises. They are talking about the PC muscle that is like a sling that goes across the floor of your pelvis. It connects in front to the pubic bone and circles the anus. When a woman squeezes this muscle, she can feel it in her clitoris, vagina and anus. To locate this muscle simply stop the flow of urine several times and you'll feel it.</p> <p>Once you are comfortable having your finger inside your vagina, you will also feel the muscle when you tighten it. When I say squeeze, I mean lift the muscle up instead of bearing down as in straining during a bowel movement (which is not a good idea either). Getting in touch with this muscle will help you to relax the vaginal opening. By repeating squeeze/release repetitions for ten counts up to fifty and then resting, you can strengthen the muscle if it's weak. If it's chronically tense, then simply squating like women washing clothes on a river bank. Repeat while practicing finger penetration.</p> <p><strong>USING A DILDO:</strong> Once finger penetration feels comfortable, try using two fingers. Medical professionals use dilators. However, dilators or a good silicone dildo can be costly and easily replaced by an organic veggie like a zucchini or carrot. Using a vegetable peeler, simply peel off the outer layer and leave some skin at the bottom for a handle. You can adjust the size as you progress.</p> <p>I always recommend clitoral stimulation to build sexual interest before any vaginal penetration takes place if you want penetration to feel good. Besides paying attention to what you are feeling, also focus your mind on some erotic image or idea to help the process along.</p> <p>Happy Penetration!</p> <p>The best resource for more on this

href="http://dodsonandross.com/sexfeature/first-time-orgasm">First Time Orgasm</a>, and <a href="http://dodsonandross.com/blogs/betty-dodson/2010/05/learn-new-orgasm-how-upgrade-your-masturbation-technique">Learn a New Orgasm: How to Upgrade Your Masturbation Technique</a></p> <p>Basically, you're lying on your back with your legs bent hip distance apart...rock your pelvis forward toward your belly button and squeeze your pc muscle then relax your pc muscle as your roll your pelvis back to the ground.&nbsp;&nbsp; Breathe in while you rock your pelvis forward and squeeze your pc muscle - then exhale as you release your pc muscle and your pelvis back to the ground.&nbsp; It's a small, subtle movement.</p> <p>Rock/Squeeze...Relax/Release...Repeat.</p> <p>Then you add clitoral stimulation and vaginal penetration for total vulva happiness.&nbsp; Don't be disappointed if it takes some time to learn the steps.&nbsp; Trust me.&nbsp; It's worth it.</p> <p>Here's the breakdown in Betty's own words:</p> <p><strong>THE PELVIC FLOOR MUSCLE</strong>: Consciously relax your vaginal muscles while taking several deep breaths. Then very slowly press your middle finger inside your vagina. Once inside, circle your finger feeling the contours of your vaginal barrel. Take a deep breath and relax all the surrounding muscles and focus primarily on the muscle that stops the flow of urine. Now squeeze and release this muscle on your finger. You will feel your vagina gripping your finger softly or firmly depending on the strength of your PC (pubococcygeus) muscle. Take your finger away and watch your entire genital area move from your clitoris to your anus when you contract the muscle by lifting up and squeezing. Do not bear down. Lift and release. Lift and release. Be sure to check out how to do Kegel exercises under Betty's Vaginal Barbell.</p> <p><strong>BREATHING</strong>: Next lie down on your bed, a futon, or a blanket on the floor. Make sure you are comfortable and warm. Place a pillow under your head. Your feet are on the floor with your knees bent and your legs at a comfortable angle. Take a series of deep breaths exhaling with an audible sigh. Send loving thoughts to your body. During your masturbation session it's a good idea to be able to hear yourself breathing out loud. Getting oxygen into the blood stream is essential for clitoral engorgement. Inhale through your nose and exhale through your mouth. If your nose is stopped up, do both the in and out breath with your mouth. Most women tend to hold their breath during sexual arousal so make sure you breathe.</p> <p><strong>PELVIC ROCKING</strong>: Avoid tensing up and holding your body rigid. Move your pelvis like Elvis. Roll your hips. Do a little dance lying down. Use all the movements that feel good. Loosen up and stretch. Smile. As your hips rock forward and back the muscles in your body flex and relax similar to an athlete in motion. Take a minute and dance to the music of your choice with rhythmic pelvic thrusting along with deep breathing and sounds of pleasure. Remember sex is about having fun and feeling good. During your entire masturbation session, a gentle rocking motion can become perpetual motion. Rest if you get tired.</p> <p><strong>PENETRATION WITH PC MUSCLE</strong>: Now that you are in touch with your PC muscle, you are ready to do slow penetration. If you are new to vaginal penetration begin with your finger. Then use a peeled carrot or zucchini gradually making them bigger. Just be aware that squeezing your vaginal muscle will tend to push the veggie dildo out so hold it with one hand. If you have Betty's Barbell, penetration virgins or postmenopausal women unaccustomed to vaginal penetration will place the smaller ball of the Barbell just at the vaginal opening (inside the vestibule). As you begin to squeeze and release the PC muscle, observe the sensation. Penetrate your vagina very slowly going an inch at a time while pausing to grip and release the dildo or Barbell with your muscle. Once the Barbell is inserted, it stays in place leaving both hands free. Your veggie dildo will get pushed out as you squeeze the muscle, so hold it in place.</p> <p><strong>CLITORAL STIMULATION</strong>: With the Barbell in place, add clitoral stimulation first with your oiled finger. Release all expectations of what you "should" be feeling. Just observe what is happening without any judgments. Stay with manual as long as it feels good. When you desire more clitoral sensation, add a battery vibrator. Stay with this for as long as it feels good.</p> <p>For women using an electric vibrator, begin with the switch on low. Its okay to experiment with high later on, but the low setting will allow you to take time and enjoy all your pleasurable sensations. Keep a light touch. The whole point of self-loving is to train your body to tolerate higher levels of sexual pleasure that last longer than a few moments.</p> <p>I use Betty's Rock 'n Roll technique during masturbation and partner sex. You can't just lie there and expect orgasms to fall down from heaven. At first, it felt like it was too much to think about but eventually with enough practice it became second nature.&nbsp; I promise - if you use the rock 'n roll technique in your masturbation practice, you'll train your body to orgasm during partner sex.&nbsp; Just don't forget to do your own clitoral stimulation.&nbsp;</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from

Again. Geez, how can this be so difficult. I used to like sex –&nbsp;right!? In fact, I have no idea. Maybe I just liked the idea of sex. Back in the day. Before three kids and a decade of marriage. For some reason, orgasm is suddenly more important than ever. Maybe, just maybe, <em>I</em> am more important to myself than ever. I will figure this out. I have to figure this one out …”</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>To this day, I remember these kinds of conversations I had with myself clearly. I was desperate. In search of something without knowing what I was looking for or where to find it, but I did not give up … until the day a friend told me about Betty Dodson and Carlin Ross. 24 hours later I had not only gained hope from watching the episode on goop but had found out all there was to know about who these incredible women were and what their work was all about. Sadly, I never got to meet Betty in person –&nbsp;she had passed 2 months before I found her – but was very excited to find out that Carlin had taken the work online due to the lockdown/pandemic. I instantly knew that this was it. The answer to all the frustrating conversations I had had with myself was called ‘Virtual Bodysex Workshop’. My life was about to change forever. </span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>Our first session was enlightening as much as it was frustrating. I was angry at the world for the lack of information I had been given. For crippling me all these years. For having blinded me for what was right in front of my eyes. The rage I was feeling was as overwhelming as the joyful appreciation for having found what felt like the ultimate, divine, feminine revelation. Tears of anger were mixed with those of relief, gratitude, and pure happiness. I had found my way home. Home to myself. Home to my pleasure. </span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>‘I am nervous’, is what I said as we started genital show &amp; tell. I remember the two glasses of wine I drank before the session, followed by lots of water because of course I wanted to be as sober as I could be for the experience … I have to giggle remembering that all it did was send me to the toilet thrice before we could get started. Once I was looking at my own vulva –&nbsp;really, truly looking at it for the first time –&nbsp;I was flabbergasted. How was it possible that so many people had already seen what I was truly seeing for the first time? How was I still entangled in all these structures I had been trying to break out of for so many years? I remember holding my breath. Feeling as if my universe had stopped moving for just a split second, just to then give me a little push in the right direction. The direction of pleasure. My direction home. </span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>It was almost a year later that I decided to have nude photos of myself taken on the beach in Cape Town –&nbsp;my happiest of happy places. ‘I am nervous’, is what I told the photographer as we drove towards the beach, leaving the sleeping city behind us, ‘I have never done anything like this before.’ ‘Luckily I have’, he said smiling, putting me at ease. Twenty minutes later, I was lying naked in the sand, the rising sun in my eyes, the crashing waves of the Atlantic Ocean in my ears, with tears running wild and free. Happy tears. Grateful tears. Tears of true belonging. It was in that moment that I understood I had never been nervous. Not once since I had found Bodysex. I thought I was. Had to be. Of course, I had to be, exposing myself like this. In front of others, in front of myself. But the truth is that deep inside there was this feeling of calm. Of truth. Of home. My home. It had been there all along.&nbsp; </span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>So, it felt natural when I said yes to my graphic designer when he first presented the idea of putting my naked butt on the landing page of my website. Much thought had gone into what I wanted that page to say. Feel like. Be like. For myself as well as to others. &nbsp;Sharing my nudity was a big deal as much as it was not. I often tell my kids that ‘It is just an ass. Not more and not less. We all have one.’ and by the time my page went online, that is truly how I felt. But of course, there is more to it. A lot more. More than my naked bottom, I am sharing one of <em>the</em> most intimate moments I have ever experienced with myself. And though the world out there does not know this, it is essential for me. For I am doing this on my own terms only. Since that first time I sat in the virtual room with Carlin, the moment I actively chose to allow pleasure into my life, I got to do life on my own terms. Make some pretty big decisions …</span></span></span></p> <p><span><span><span>And so, it feels like a moment of closure as I am about to pack up our household and move my family down south –&nbsp;to the place that has and probably always will be my true soul’s home. In just a few weeks, I will be sitting on that sandy beach again, grateful for having been afforded to walk the path of pleasure. For having had the opportunity to turn shame into pride and lack into fulfillment. For finally having the sex I always wanted to have. And for having found me along the way. This, I know, is bliss. </span></span></span></p> <p>If you are interested in joining me for a sensual pleasure retreat in Cape Town, South Africa, or don’t want to miss any of the other upcoming news, make sure to sign up for my <a href="https://www.iscarosa.com/newsletter">newsletter</a>.

where I feel ready and comfortable enough to engage in sexual activities and I am dying to take it to the next level, penetration! I was super excited to try this with my girlfriend (and even a bit nervous of course).</p> <p>We bought a strap-on and when the time came to do the do, it wouldn't go in! It was extremely painful, but we took our time and slowly got it not even half way in but I was determined to get this thing in me one way or another. As it went deeper it was getting more and more painful and burning terribly, and all the while my girlfriend kept encouraging me to keep trying and that it was normal to be that painful the first time, but it just didn't feel right to me.</p> <p>I should mention that I was sexually abused at the age of 11 and I feel it may have something to do with that, because the thought of something entering my vagina is actually terrifying to part of me and for the longest i couldn't even be fingered because it was painful. Don't even get me started on tampons! So, I did some research and discovered the condition "vaginismus" and I felt sad and happy that this is something that can be fixed, but I want an experts opinion before I go diagnosing myself.</p> <p>I feel ashamed and weak for not being able to do the one thing that all girls are supposed to be able to do. I feel hopeless and I just want answers and to be told, "hey, you're not any less of a girl because you cant do this."</p> <p>Sincerely,</p> <p>Hopless Girl</p> <p>Dear Hopeless Girl,</p> <p>The clitoris is your primary sex organ for pleasure and the vagina is the birth canal. We recommend that every girl practice vaginal penetration with herself FIRST. A dildo has no sensation and your GF can only visually see whats happening.</p> <p>It's important to be turned on FIRST with a lot of clitoral stimulation and to use copious amounts of organic massage oil before penetration takes place.</p> <p>I have always found that while a strap on is visually exciting, the person wearing it has a minimum of control. For first time penetration, YOU need to be in control. Practice by yourself first and have a very hot fantasy in mind beforehand. Start with a very small dildo not much bigger than two fingers. Good quality silicone is advisable and LOTS of organic massage oil for your vagina and her dildo.</p> <p>Dr. Betty</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'modules/contrib/paragraphs/templates/paragraph.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-category--blog.html.twig * field--node--field-category.html.twig * field--node--blog.html.twig * field--field-category.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/dodson/templates/field/field--node--field-category--blog.html.twig' --> <div class="articles__categories"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--card paragraph--view-mode--default simple-band transparent"> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--title paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="field field--name-field-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Mentions And Related Topics</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/articles/category/painful-penetration" hreflang="en">Painful Penetration</a></div> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/dodson/templates/field/field--node--field-category--blog.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-blog-comments--blog.html.twig * field--node--field-blog-comments.html.twig * field--node--blog.html.twig * field--field-blog-comments.html.twig x field--comment.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--comment.html.twig' --> <section class="field field--name-field-blog-comments field--type-comment field--label-hidden comment-wrapper"> </section> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--comment.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-promote-to-popular-posts--blog.html.twig * field--node--field-promote-to-popular-posts.html.twig * field--node--blog.html.twig x field--field-promote-to-popular-posts.html.twig * field--boolean.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/dodson/templates/field/field--field-promote-to-popular-posts.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/dodson/templates/field/field--field-promote-to-popular-posts.html.twig' --> Wed, 08 Aug 2018 13:32:23 +0000 Carlin Ross 856 at https://www.dodsonandross.com https://www.dodsonandross.com/articles/am-i-less-woman-because-penetration-painful#comments How To Use the Barbell https://www.dodsonandross.com/barbell <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--title--blog.html.twig x field--node--title.html.twig * field--node--blog.html.twig * field--title.html.twig * field--string.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <span class="field field--name-title field--type-string field--label-hidden">How To Use the Barbell </span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--node--title.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--uid--blog.html.twig x field--node--uid.html.twig * field--node--blog.html.twig * field--uid.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--node--uid.html.twig' --> <span class="field field--name-uid field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'username' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/user/username.html.twig' --> <span lang="" about="/user/121" typeof="schema:Person" property="schema:name" datatype="">Betty Dodson</span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/user/username.html.twig' --> </span> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--node--uid.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--created--blog.html.twig x field--node--created.html.twig * field--node--blog.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field--created.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--node--created.html.twig' --> <span class="field field--name-created field--type-created field--label-hidden"> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'time' --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/time.html.twig' --> <time datetime="2018-07-26T12:57:20+00:00" title="Thursday, July 26, 2018 -

The same muscle also insures bladder control, maintains vaginal health, and contributes to a person's overall health, and contributes to a person’s overall well-being.</p> <p>The Barbell is both a practical vaginal exerciser and an excellent pleasure device that she has used for years in teaching women about orgasm. Made of stainless steel, the Barbell is sturdy enough to become a family heirloom that can be passed down from grandmother to granddaughter.</p> <p>The Barbell is 6 3⁄4 inches long and weighs nearly one pound. Once inserted, the weight holds it in place. We recommend sterilizing the Barbell before first time use by putting it in boiling water for a minute or two. Another method of sterilization is putting it in a dishwasher. Thereafter, washing the Barbell with hot soapy water is sufficient.</p> <p><strong>First Some Useful Information </strong></p> <p><strong>Kegel Exercises:</strong> Many women today are familiar with doing Kegel exercises especially after giving birth. In the early 1940's, a gynecologist named Dr. Arnold Kegel was helping women to overcome urinary incontinence through pelvic floor exercises instead of relying only on surgery. After several months, some of his clients reported having orgasms for the first time. Dr. Kegel designed a feedback instrument called the Perineometer, a meter with a rubber hose attached to a penis shaped device. Once inserted, it showed the amount of pressure applied by tightening the vaginal muscle. In Betty's early orgasm workshops, women took turns using a Perineometer with a condom on it. Similar to the strong men in the circus swinging a mallet to ring the bell, when a woman scored a 100, Betty rang a bicycle bell while the group applauded.</p> <p><strong>Locating the PC Muscle: </strong>There are several pelvic floor muscles but the one we will be most concerned with surrounds both the male and female sex organs and is called the pubococcygeus, or the PC muscle. It attaches to the front of the pubic bone and goes around the anus. When the PC is contracted it can be felt in the clitoris, penis, vagina, and anus. One way to locate the muscle is to abruptly stop and start the flow of urine. A second and more dramatic way is to insert a finger inside the vagina and squeeze the PC muscle. When you feel pressure around your finger, you are using the correct muscle.</p> <p><strong>Exercising the PC Muscle:</strong> Try to keep everything relaxed except the vaginal muscle. LIFT UP. Do not bear down. At first, women often tighten the surrounding muscles in their stomachs, thighs, and buttocks. For the best results practice isolating and then tightening just the PC muscle. Be patient. Many women find it's easiest to use the Barbell first thing in the morning or just before going to bed. There are many ideas about how to best do PC muscle exercises like squeezing the muscle 10 times and resting. Or holding the muscle tight for a count of 5 followed by several rapid contractions. Most professionals agree that having a resistance device inside the vagina gives better results. However there's nothing wrong with exercising the PC muscle without the Barbell while watching television, talking on the phone, or browsing the Internet. It not only feels good but it keeps us in touch with our bodies.</p> <p><strong>Possible Benefits from Using the Barbell</strong></p> <p><strong>1. A toned PC Muscle</strong> insures better orgasms, genital health, and bladder control as well as regulates the bowels and enhances overall health. Doing PC exercises can also shorten delivery time and restore vaginal muscles after giving birth. During intercourse, rhythmically squeezing the PC muscle enhances sexual pleasure for both a woman and her partner. A healthy PC muscle would lower the number of pre-orgasmic women, avoid surgery to tighten relaxed vaginas, and eliminate Urinary Stress Incontinence. USI is the involuntary loss of urine while lifting, coughing, sneezing, laughing or having an orgasm. Millions of women needlessly suffer some degree of urinary incontinence resulting from multiple births, menopause, and the absence of genital awareness due to the lack of sex information. Using the Barbell will avoid off-putting treatments like surgery or having to wear adult diapers.</p> <p><strong>2. Combining PC Exercises with Orgasm:</strong> As for the frequency of doing the exercises, we believe that once the PC muscle exercise is associated with sexual pleasure, each woman will discover her own individual style and preference. We have also been told by our clients that ending a PC workout with an orgasm has inspired many to do the exercise on a regular basis whether its once a day in the beginning or two or three times a week later on. Many women have said that consciously working the PC muscle while masturbating has clearly enhanced their experience of orgasm. Listening to music and adding a rhythm will vary the exercise and make it more pleasurable.</p> <p><strong>3. Vaginal Dilator and Aerator:</strong> Young women can use the Barbell as a vaginal dilator to prevent painful first time intercourse. By getting in touch with her PC muscle and starting with the smaller ball, you can gradually penetrate your own vagina with a minimum of discomfort. Many women diagnosed with vaginismus (painful spasm of the vagina) or who suffer from a chronically tight vagina can use the Barbell to gradually learn how to relax the vaginal muscles by working the PC muscle. For women who are postmenopausal or no longer having penetration sex with a partner, using the Barbell will aerate the vagina, help slough off dead cells, encourage lubrication and enhance orgasms during self-stimulation.</p> <p><strong>How to Use the Barbell</strong></p> <p><strong>1. Inserting the Barbell:</strong> Lie down on your back with one or more pillows under your head. Bend your knees with both feet on the floor. Be comfortable. While taking several deep breaths and relaxing, spend a few moments connecting with your body. Apply massage oil on your hands and warm up with a genital massage that includes your clitoris. Lubricate the Barbell and place the larger ball just at the vaginal opening. Totally relax the vaginal muscles as you exhale then squeeze and release the PC muscle on the edge of the ball. Take another deep breath and exhale relaxing the vagina as you slowly insert the Barbell an inch. Again squeeze and release the PC muscle several times. Continue this process until full penetration has been achieved. If any discomfort is experienced, use the smaller end of the Barbell.</p> <p><strong>2. Enhancing Your Orgasm with PC Exercises:</strong> Depending on the length of each woman's vaginal barrel, an inch or two of the Barbell will remain on the outside of her vagina. Once fully inserted, the weight of the Barbell holds it in place leaving both hands free. We have our clients use one hand for clitoral stimulation either manually, with a battery or an electric vibrator while squeezing and releasing the PC muscle. Try using the other hand for body and breast massage. To move the Barbell tighten the PC muscle as you slowly pull it out leaving the larger ball just inside the vagina. Then relax the vaginal muscle and let go of the Barbell. Its weight will allow it to drop back inside effortlessly. In the beginning, most women prefer to leave the Barbell in place while they combine PC muscle contractions with pelvic rocking, breathing, and their preferred clitoral stimulation.</p> <p><strong>3. Coordinating Breathing, Pelvic Rocking and the PC Muscle:</strong> As you rock the pelvis up, exhale and squeeze the PC tight. Then, inhaling you drop your hips back down and relax the muscle. Keep the movements small and gentle. If the reverse feels better you can inhale rocking forward and exhale dropping back. At first this seems complicated but it's similar to learning a new dance step. In the beginning we feel awkward and self-conscious but after many repetitions the body takes over and the moves become automatic. There is no one "right" way to use any of these techniques. The important thing is to breathe, rock and squeeze the muscle until your own individual style emerges.</p> <p><strong>4. The Barbell as a Sleek Sex Toy:</strong> It's very sensual to have a lover slowly move the barbell back and forth inside the vagina while a woman uses her fingers or the Magic Wand vibrator to stimulate the clitoris. With the woman lying on her back, try angling the Barbell up to press on the ceiling of the vagina, stimulating the urethral sponge/female prostate/g-spot, or gently press the Barbell against the cervix. The smooth surface of the barbell makes it a safe toy for anal penetration. It is important to note that when using the barbell anally you or your partner must hold on to the end to prevent the barbell from slipping all the way inside.</p> <p><strong>5. The PC Muscle and Men:</strong> A toned PC muscle is as important for men as it is for women. If young men knew how to use their PC muscles during masturbation, they could learn to control the urge to ejaculate. Then they would be able to extend the pleasures of intercourse and enjoy having fuller orgasms as adults.</p> <p>Men at any age can benefit from doing isometric exercises with the Barbell inside the anus. A healthy PC muscle will not only reduce the vast numbers of fast ejaculating men, it would also lower the high percentage of older men who no longer have erections and/or end up with urinary incontinence. Using the Barbell anally while stimulating the penis heightens male orgasm with or without internal prostate massage.</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from

My husband is a sex addict and we are always butting heads.</p> <p>Sex is great when we have time but I still have issues. Most of the concern is deep penetration. It hurts like hell and it really stops me from focusing on my orgasm. It feels like a very strong pinch.</p> <p>This has been going on since I had my first child. I was fine before then. Can you please help me figure this out?</p> <p>I</p> <p>Dear I,</p> <p>When some aspect of penetration sex is painful, don't do it. Instead give him a blow job or manual sex instead.</p> <p>Deep penetration that hurts means you are doing something wrong. Until you figure this out, do oral or manual.</p> <p>Sex between partners is about PLEASURE not pain. I also use additional lubrication like Almond oil. It's possible his penis is too big and pushes into your uterus. In which case he can shorten his stroke.</p> <p>Also to increase your interest in sex, be sure to masturbate regularly. Talk to your husband and tell him about the pain that you feel. He can adjust his stroke to accommodate your vagina.</p> <p>Dr Betty</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END

Thanks to the information available on your website, your inspiring books and youtube channel with Carlin, I think I have made steady progress and can now enjoy orgasms using clitoral stimulation alone. I am also able to slowly slide Betty's Barbell in and out of my vagina during the process without any apprehension or discomfort and though it does feel nice when the larger blob makes contact with the vaginal entry point, it is pretty uneventful once the barbell is almost completely inside me.</p> <p>Is that normal? What does one have to do to enhance pleasure using the barbell?</p> <p>I think I am ready to try partner sex with my husband who has been most loving and patient all these years, while respecting my desire to enjoy my sexual journey at my own pace.</p> <p>I need some technical advice on this transition from barbell to penis penetration. After I have relaxed my muscles by masturbation and he is erect after his own, should the penis be able to just slide in like the barbel instantly? It doesn't seem to right now (possibly because it is bigger) and though we have tried him getting his erect penis at what feels like the right spot for vaginal entry and going back and forth, he is unable to stimulate himself at that time and as a result, keep the erection for very long. Any tips on what we could try next?</p> <p>Thank you so much.</p> <p>I</p> <p>Dear I,</p> <p>The Barbell is a resistant device to work the PC muscle against. You ask, "What does one have to do to enhance pleasure using the barbell"? Are you squeezing and releasing this muscle rhythmically while masturbating? This is important. Your husband will also feel the same muscle on his penis while he's fucking you. Relax the muscle going in with his penis, tightening it as he withdraws.</p> <p>It's like hugging his penis with your vagina. Slow penetration is the ideal. That's when you consciously relax the muscle. You kids are really doing great. Keep up you home classes of masturbation and enjoy yourself.</p> <p>Dr. Betty</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> </div> <!--

I could really just use some kind of help.</p> <p>I'm only 24, and I live in an area when anything medical dealing with the vagina is kind of just laughed about and not taken seriously. I have been to almost all the ob doctors in town, urologists, chiropractors and even one doctor 6 hours away that was just a dermatologist.</p> <p>I was told my prolapse was not serious by my general doctor and the urologist and pelvic floor therapy could help it until I am older, then we will start discussing surgery. but they cant help me with any of my other symptoms. and they look at me like im some kind of a mental patient when i sob in their office. Ive even read one of my doctors reports and my heart broke because I felt like my nurse mocked me and didn’t take it serious in the notes.</p> <p>my symptoms started nearly 6 months ago now and have only gotten worse. I don’t think there is a cure either. It took a while to first catch it and decide I needed professional help and it took guts to go in and get it but I’ve lost absolutely all feel good sexual feeling. My clitoris just feels dead. I cant feel a tickle pressure or anything at all. Im going on 6 months of this and im struggling. Google had me afraid I wont ever find a cure. Ive found women on there who experienced what I am and it sounds like they never healed or found a cure either. And this is bad to admit but I just cant see myself going on with this if its life long. I feel like I am damaged goods, I get jealous even just talking to my mother or grandmother ( who are in their 50s and 70s and still enjoying wonderful sex ) and I just HATE myself right now no matter what I do or try.</p> <p>It wasn’t always like this and it just gradually got worse over time. It started, 11 months ago I had my 2nd child and i seemed to snap back quickly, sex was fun with my husband and even though i was tired and a little depressed I felt good doing it and it was a wonderful stress reliever. Around the time she was 4 months old i noticed a decrease in vaginal and clitoral sensitivity and i didn't think anything of it, or that i would ever get to this point. I just turned up the vibration on my favorite toy and had at it. until one day I lost all the feeling. at first i thought maybe I over stimulated myself. A few days went on and nothing... now months have gone on and still no feeling in my clitoris what so ever. I first went to the doctor and did blood tests and at 1st it came back low testosterone, so i was referred back to my ob but he said they didnt have anything to treat it that was fda approved and i was put on an anti depressant and estrogen cream. I used both and still got nothing besides an extremely wet feeling.</p> <p>He also sent me to pelvic floor therapy because I jumped off the table and cried during an exam and wouldn’t let him use a speculum it just hurt so bad!!! My Pt told me my muscles down there were tight and spasming so I religiously am going to pf therapy. Then while doing therapy I got a horrible yeast infection so I had to take a break for about a week. I went to the oncall OB doctor, balling, told him everything I was going through, then he broke my heart even worse and told me it could be lichen sclerosus: he didn’t biopsy it,or look down there and I was given a clibatosol cream that upset me even more and a diflucan pill.</p> <p>When I went home I was appalled to think I have a horrible disease and could be in so much pain so I grabed a mirror and took a look down there and oddly found a weird bulge under my urethra that I know wasn’t there last time I looked ( when I had my stitches from labor ) I called up my regular doctor, went in and it was mild prolapse and the diflucan still didn’t take away my yeast infection. She told me to stay in my therapy and it would help and she didn’t think it needed surgery yet. I was also still burning and so uncomfortable my skin was cracking and bleeding at this point. It hurt to sit!</p> <p>So my pt pushed me to find a dermatologist. I called insurance and they sent me to a doctor 6 hours away to have it looked at, she told me no it wasn’t Lichen Sclerosis, and i needed to try a biote hormone replacement therapy. My biggest thing is Ive had the run around, im sore and don’t even feel like ill ever be sexual again and she says this just might help everything, but is it to good to be true? Ive been through hell and back with this and I almost feel like ive given up hope.</p> <p>Ive been tested for everything, poked with needles , had x rays, ct scans,mris, chemicals pumped into my system, tried creams pills and almost everything to try to feel better. And nothing has helped.</p> <p>Ive also done yoga, kegals, stretching, elimination diets and religiously stuck to therapy, 3 times a week. Its been nearly 6 months and nothings changed besides now I have thousands or dollars in doctors bills and ive lost hope.</p> <p>I feel alone. I know this sound dramatic because when i tried telling my doctor about it i was told i was just being “dramatic” and its ok if I never get feeling back but I just feel like I lost a huge part of who I was and a huge part of my relationship. losing this has just killed me inside and i am just so lost i cant imagine going on for years or the rest of my life like this.</p> <p>Please, what can I do to bring myself back. can you recommend doctors who might know how to deal with complete clitoral loss or anything Im going through? Have you ever heard of anyone completely losing feeling there? I don’t feel normal at all but is there hope for this situation? I'm so sorry if this doesnt make since but i just cant keep it together anymore, even while writing this. what do i do?</p> <p>C</p> <p>Dear C,</p> <p>What you can do is get away from doctors and the medical establishment. STOP. Every time you see another specialist, you get another problem from some stupid medication and no solution. I repeat STOP IT!</p> <p>At 24 you have two children and have been married how long? Now they have given you estrogen and put you on anti depressants when your testosterone was low. The antidepressant alone is a problem as it is known to inhibit orgasm. First lets look at how you use your vibrator. You cannot bear down to get more feeling as it simply numbs out the clitoris. Did you use any lubrication? Start with a nice vulva massage with an organic massage oil? Did you have a fantasy in mind?. Some quiet time to masturbate? Where the hell is your husband in all of this? What kind of support are you getting from him?</p> <p>Have your Mom and Grandmother look after your children and you take a week off to some yoga retreat where you can meditate and be quiet. Simple diet. No meds. Rest. Pull yourself together. Forget about your damn clitoris thinking that it's dead. No sex and no masturbation. You're using sex to torture yourself. Become a celibate priestess for a week or two.</p> <p>Tight pelvic floor muscles can be corrected. A prolapsed uterus can also be dealt with quite easily. But your mental state of utter despair only you can correct. You cannot go into a doctors office and bawl your eyes out and expect them to under stand what you are feeling. First of all, doctors rarely know anything about sex. It's not part of their training. The pelvic floor therapists can help. Also get a woman friend you can talk to, and again I ask, where is your husband in all of this? And stop being so dramatic! You could use a girlfriend or two. But no more doctors or meds. OK?</p> <p>Dr. Betty</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from

and Carlin for all the passion, knowledge and dedication you put into your work. To have a resource of this immeasurable quality is invaluable to me and I hope that your message will continue to spread!</p> <p>I am writing because I value your opinion most of all and am unsure of how to proceed. Forgive me for all the details but I want to be comprehensive.</p> <p>I am a 22-year-old female. I have been self-sexual since the first onset of puberty at 10 or 11 years old.</p> <p>However, I have never been penetrated in partner sex as I am always too tense/tight or perhaps dry/not aroused enough to attempt penetration without extreme pain. I believe my problem is physical because I can penetrate myself with one or two fingers (depending on arousal) and I have never had any problem with tampons. I don't believe my problem is emotional/psychological because I have a very liberal attitude towards sex and do not have a history of abuse or sexual repression, indeed I have always been aware of my mother as a sexual being (although initially perturbed since my parents were separated and the thought of her having sex for pleasure was initially very confusing) and at home she was often naked.</p> <p>I have never been in a relationship and I have only felt compelled to engage in partner sex on a few occasions: always in the circumstances of a spontaneous one-night-stand or fling. I like intimate situations which come about spontaneously, for example when I meet someone while travelling, and I think I have some negative thoughts I need to overcome regarding dating and relationships being contrived and therefore less desirable.</p> <p>Elements that I think are contributing to my problem: I haven't had many sexual experiences so I lack confidence, I have never had sex with the same partner twice, I am shy to communicate with a partner, partners have been inexperienced, and I have felt frustrated by having to stop, explain and compromise when I attempt penetration.</p> <p>I hope that if I can find a partner to practice with regularly, I can learn how to overcome the problem of penetration with communication and experimentation (for example I get really turned on by the thought of biting and spanking and never bring it up).</p> <p>I know it sounds like penetration is my end-goal here, but truly it is because I appreciate oral and manual sex and I want to try something more.</p> <p>With that in mind, after joining a couple of online dating apps I went on a date with a 33 year old man who (besides being very interesting and we had good chemistry) is very sexually experienced. Late in the conversation I explained some of my situation to him, about never having been penetrated and fundamentally wanting to be slutty but my body not letting me. Even on this date I tried to become more comfortable talking openly about sex - I asked him what he thinks makes Good Sex. As you can imagine, it was easy to establish that he was a willing candidate!</p> <p>But now... honestly, I am worried again that my shyness and embarrassment will get in the way of what I want. And I am worried about being taken advantage of. I have the overwhelming feeling that I am at a crossroads. If I don't follow through and try to make progress on this, I could be in the same position forever, but fear is getting in my way. I think I am answering my own question here, but I'm looking for words of encouragement and practical advice on how to proceed.</p> <p>Thank you - for everything,<br> G</p> <p>Dear G,</p> <p>With your healthy background of masturbation the only thing stopping you is......What? Now that you have an older BF who is naturally willing to accommodate your request....go for it. Some questions first. Do you have adequate birth control? Do you have additional lubrication? Can you create a secure space for sex?"</p> <p>The note of warning: the "first time" usually sucks. So don't be disappointed and instead find a boy you'd like to have an ongoing affair with. Good partnersex takes time and communication. Nothing wrong with having sex with the same guy for a while. You're doing great.</p> <p>Dr Betty</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from

movement, kind of hurt this time. &nbsp;As he moved his fingers inside me, I felt tension growing in my pelvis. &nbsp;Something was welling up inside. &nbsp;I wasn't sure &nbsp;what - and suddenly I found myself overwhelmed by it's energy.</span></p> <p><span>"Stop... come 'ere please" I asked.</span></p> <p><span>We'd just spent the last four hours talking about breaking up. &nbsp;Oh and my pussy, she never lies.</span></p> <p><span>My body was full of emotion. &nbsp;I couldn't help but feel it as he touched me. &nbsp;He stopped, and as he moved in close to hold me, I burst into tears.</span></p> <p><span>Over and over again I have learned how my body uses subtle sensation to tell me things.</span></p> <p><span>This time it was telling me I was hurting and afraid. &nbsp;It was telling me that instead of sex, what I really needed was to be held.</span></p> <p><span>Over the years I've learned to listen to my body and take it's many varied sensations - from pleasure to pain - far more seriously </span></p> <p><span>My body is my guide and listening to her has served me very well.</span></p> <p><span>In this material, mind-driven world we mostly ignore our bodies' sensations and write them off as meaningless... or annoying. &nbsp;Especially when it's unpleasant sensations like pain, discomfort, muscle tension or anxiety, we often get caught up frantically trying to get rid of them instead of listening to them.</span></p> <p><span>I ignored my body's sensory messages for a long time. &nbsp;Only through years of suffering and struggle with sexual pain did I learn to tune in and inspect what was going on at a deeper level.</span></p> <p><span>In my journey out of vaginismus (the sexual pain I just mentioned), I learned the discomfort I sometimes felt with penetration was really my body keeping me safe. &nbsp;</span></p> <p><span>Though my mind was sexually liberated, on some deeper level I didn't feel safe to be my full sexual and lusty self in this world. &nbsp;So my pussy would have a burning sensation or sharp pain deep inside sometimes. &nbsp;It was my body's way of letting me know something was up. &nbsp;Making sex *hard* was the perfect way to protect me from becoming the sexually non-monogamous woman I naturally am. &nbsp;In all honesty, if I had become her too soon, I might have not been able to bear the judgment our slut-shaming world would have thrown my way. &nbsp;My heart is very sensitive and so I protected myself from myself. &nbsp;And my body was there all along to let me know what was happening.</span></p> <p><span>I can look back now with fascination and compassion to my body's sensory messages of pain and tension, instead of the confusion and anger I felt then. &nbsp;But when I was fighting my body, unwilling to listen to it saying "I don't feel safe and I am so much more amazingly sexual than you have allowed me to be", I couldn't make headway out of the pain.</span></p> <p><span>Four years later after that healing, I still watch my body for signs it has some wisdom to share with me. &nbsp;When I feel more aligned with a partner, aligned in my own life or open in my heart and safe, I tend to feel more pleasure in sex and am more orgasmic too.&nbsp;</span></p> <p><span>Emotions and messages can come up during self-pleasuring for me as well. &nbsp;I often watch my orgasm as a barometer for how stressed I am, how happy, open, and how satisfied I am with my life. &nbsp;My orgasm shifts in intensity, quality and duration based on how the rest of me is feeling.</span></p> <p>Listening to the body is not really a new idea, but applying it directly to sexuality is rather new and radical. &nbsp;We tend to treat sex like commodity or a function we perform - not as an experience we engage in with our whole being: body, mind, heart and spirit.</p> <p>I don't care what kind of sex you're having - casual flings, sex with a long-term partner, passionate sex, pity sex, horny sex, or sex with just yourself - all of it is an experience you are engaging in with your whole self. &nbsp;And if you leave some part of yourself out of it - like your heart or mind - you will feel that reflected in your body and sensation.</p> <p>Our bodies are very powerful and they integrate and hold physical space for our heart, mind and spirit to manifest. &nbsp;Our bodies are not shells for the mind or will. They are not machines where you can press certain buttons and get them to do what you want. &nbsp;You can't *input* "X" sexual experience and get out "Y" every time.</p> <p>Our bodies are a dynamic, wise and responsive part of our being we are in relationship to. &nbsp;One part of our whole self.</p> <p>When you can't figure out why it's taking so long this time to orgasm or you're having sex and "ouch", it suddenly hurts, your body has something to say to you. &nbsp;It can be saying simple things like "Not enough kissing and holding!"</p> <p>Or it can be more complex things like "I'm hurt", "I'm angry" or "get me out of this relationship!" &nbsp;Your body often has stories to tell about your heart, mind or life circumstances.</p> <p>Sometimes our bodies talk through lack of sensation too. Maybe you feel nothing when someone touches you, and you wonder why.</p> <p>When something happens in your body that you don't understand, try taking some time to tune in to whatever area of your body you're experiencing the sensation or lack of sensation. &nbsp;Meditate to see if you can hear, see or feel something. &nbsp;Listening is an intuitive process that takes practice. &nbsp;</p> <p>When you do hear, feel or see something through tuning in, take what you learn there your life with patience, understanding and gratitude for your body, and it's care for you.</p></div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--text-with-summary.html.twig' --> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'modules/contrib/paragraphs/templates/paragraph.html.twig' --> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: x field--node--field-category--blog.html.twig * field--node--field-category.html.twig * field--node--blog.html.twig * field--field-category.html.twig * field--entity-reference.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/dodson/templates/field/field--node--field-category--blog.html.twig' --> <div class="articles__categories"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--card paragraph--view-mode--default simple-band transparent"> <div class="field__item"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type--title paragraph--view-mode--default"> <div class="field field--name-field-title field--type-string field--label-hidden field__item">Mentions And Related Topics</div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--name-field-category field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden field__items"> <div class="field__item"><a href="/articles/category/painful-penetration" hreflang="en">Painful Penetration</a></div> </div> </div> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/dodson/templates/field/field--node--field-category--blog.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-blog-comments--blog.html.twig * field--node--field-blog-comments.html.twig * field--node--blog.html.twig * field--field-blog-comments.html.twig x field--comment.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--comment.html.twig' --> <section class="field field--name-field-blog-comments field--type-comment field--label-hidden comment-wrapper"> </section> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/contrib/classy/templates/field/field--comment.html.twig' --> <!-- THEME DEBUG --> <!-- THEME HOOK: 'field' --> <!-- FILE NAME SUGGESTIONS: * field--node--field-promote-to-popular-posts--blog.html.twig * field--node--field-promote-to-popular-posts.html.twig * field--node--blog.html.twig x field--field-promote-to-popular-posts.html.twig * field--boolean.html.twig * field.html.twig --> <!-- BEGIN OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/dodson/templates/field/field--field-promote-to-popular-posts.html.twig' --> <!-- END OUTPUT from 'themes/custom/dodson/templates/field/field--field-promote-to-popular-posts.html.twig' --> Wed, 27 Apr 2016 20:00:54 +0000 Julia Emerald 2606 at https://www.dodsonandross.com https://www.dodsonandross.com/articles/listen-your-body-and-gain-more-pleasure-and-healing#comments
