Most everybody (speaking of you who will admit to it) is doing it, so why is it so difficult to talk about? Well, we’re talking now — about masturbation.
We do realize that sexuality exists from birth to death, right? There is no specific age which indicates the beginning or the end for our sexual lives. As soon as infants can reach, they touch their genitals with appreciation and fascination. We see toddlers rocking and rubbing on their toys with a distant look in their eyes. Teenagers spend countless hours in the shower or bathroom learning about their bodies. Adults, whether in or out of relationships, are taking the time for self pleasure. Elderly folks are looking for ways to gratify themselves even in the convalescent homes. So why is this still an embarrassing topic? Do you have difficulty discussing it? Are you squirming right now? More importantly, have you educated your children in a healthy, open way? Do you and your partner discuss or share this experience? Women are more likely to masturbate with their partner than a man is. Why is this so? Social boundaries? Old myths you still believe? Were you told that if you touched yourself sexually you’d go blind?
