Girls masturbate. Why don’t we talk about it?

masturbate

    Girls everywhere masturbate. Why can’t we talk about it? Is the title of an article in the Telegraph which I found recently while browsing the internet. The author, Rebecca Holman, doesn’t say anything about tantric sex or tantric orgasm, but just plain old masturbation. And it struck me that what she was saying was true. Little by little, over the years, we have become more and more open about what we talk about and what words are allowed on television – and, as the author says, talk about vibrators is fine. We can go and buy them together, and it seems nowadays only a prude would admit to not owning a vibrator. ‘But we never discuss female masturbation on its own, without a purple, glittery, revolving phallus, without a man present, just for the sake of it.’ But men talk about wanking all the time – so why the double standard? It seems that it is the way we talk about it. Its fine to discuss in sex education classes and in relation to products (toys) and messages re. spicing up your sex life. But we don’t talk about how to masturbate. We are the generation that talk… Read more »

Orgasmic Meditation

orgasmic meditation

Have you heard of Orgasmic Meditation or OM for short? It was mentioned to us by one of our female clients. Orgasmic Meditation is taught by an organisation based in the US but there seems to be a branch in London also. The whole idea of Orgasmic Meditation is to slow down, which is something we have written about in previous articles here According to their website, it is something you practice with a partner and it is equally powerful for both partners – the object of focus for both partners is the clitoris. They say that the practice strips away more and more layers of conditioning, fear and ..personality, so that the most tender parts of ourselves can touch the world. The website also contains intriguing articles on subjects like: ‘Why Men like Porn and Women like Vibrators’ which states that for both men and women there is a quality of hunger that is unmet, an itch that is not getting scratched. Orgasmic Meditation hold courses in the US and there are also meetings in London on Wednesday and Friday evenings. In the US, there are also advanced Orgasmic Meditation classes where ‘you will peak behind the curtain of… Read more »

The truth about the Clitoris

clitoris

  The clitoris is described as the only human body part that exists solely for pleasure. It is not merely a little ‘button’ hidden between a woman’s legs, but rather a large, mostly internal organ many people dont know about. New York artist, Sophia Wallace has created a multi-media art project entitled “Cliteracy”   According to Wallace, the clitoris was only scientifically discovered in 1998. Although the clitoris did appear in scientific literature in the mid-1800’s, it is only recently that an Australian urologist named Helen O’Connel published a paper describing its sheer scope and size. She specified that the unerect clitoris, most of which is subterranean, could be up to 9 cms long. In the image above, the internal clitoris is highlighted in yellow. Sophia Wallace notes how curious it is that the female form is idolized for its sexuality and is broadcast all around us in art and advertising, and yet the clitoris, which is the true female sexual organ, is virtually invisible. Not only that, but many women feel embarrassed to ask men to pleasure them, and feel that they are asking for a huge favour. ‘It is insane to me’ she says that this should still… Read more »
