Shameless Masturbation!!

Masturbation is a topic many don't feel comfortable talking about, despite how many people actually pleasure themselves.

I remember being a student at UHCL in 2007 and I said to my English class "Masturbation is the key to a successful sex life. If you can't please you, how can you expect someone else to?" I still believe those words.

Women masturbate. We use our fingers or sex toys. That is perfectly healthy. We should be in touch with our bodies. We should know how to bring ourselves to orgasm. Think of how many women are dissatisfied and sexually frustrated because they aren't being pleased down there! Child please! Touch your body and get to know YOU!

I first discovered pleasure down there when I was 10. I hurt myself on my bicycle seat- a banana seat- and I told my mom. She, innocently, said "go put some Vaseline on it", which was very common to do and say. Oh, the discovery!!

But I never talked to anyone about it. Matter of fact, I was ashamed. Religious conditioning had me believing I was doing something wrong. I would negotiate during prayers by offering to NOT masturbate if I received what I prayed for. And, unfortunately, extreme religious conditioning and beliefs cause females all across the globe to have their clitoris removed. That's called FGM-female genital mutilation. It's done so women cannot pleasure themselves and when they marry, their husbands and families know they are a virgin. It is a horrible practice that, though illegal in most places, still happens and females die or have many issues in their space due to it. And I can't imagine the emotional scarring that occurs because of it.

So we have to support our girls. Our women. We have to take away the stigma of masturbation being something "loose" and "unholy" women do. I remember reading a book by an African American female Evangelist and she spoke on a time when she was heavily into sex and masturbation. She was, once "saved", appalled at how gross masturbation was. Her argument was how you allow yourselves to have impure thoughts and sometimes those thoughts are outrageous. So what? Can I not have  my thoughts to myself. And thoughts and actions are not the same.

I like touching myself. In my head, I can have sex any kind of way I choose to.I can think of the most salacious things to make myself cum. And that is my damn business. Self pleasure is safe. And fun!!

And I like when a partner touches me down there, too. FYI- just make sure only clean hands are playing down there, as you don't wanna get an infection.

Sex with male partners almost always ends with them being satisfied and the woman not quite. Communication is a key factor in both partners being pleased.

So, yeah, I encourage women to know thy self. Self pleasure is an awakening. It feels good and teaches you so much about your needs and desires.

Seeking God, Finding Myself

I have been on a fervent, spiritual journey for the past seven years. It was only then, I began to know myself-as a person, as a woman. I was 28 years old before I was comfortable enough with myself to begin peeling off layers and allowing my freeness to flow. I am a mother. I am a teacher. I am a writer. And I am a sexual being. For so long, the latter was something I suppressed. I wasn’t comfortable enough to speak on that aspect of me. But it’s part of who I am and how I got here-to this place, this space. I grew up Catholic. Sex was to be abstained until marriage, according to our Sunday school lessons. Though people in my family shacked up and had kids out of wedlock-and weren’t looked down upon.  For so long, I masturbated with guilt. Even though the release was wonderful and I enjoyed touching my body, I felt like religion taught me I would be punished for the sin-even though it didn’t involve another being. I use to spew the words “But I’m a Christian”  not knowing w...

“In” and “of” the world…

Teaching is my passion. It’s what I will do until I retire. Currently, I teach college students. Most recently, I’ve taught elementary students. I taught at a Catholic school (I grew up Catholic). Religion is a subject I enjoy studying. World religions intrigue me. With that being said, I’ve spent many years trying to get closer to God. That, in itself, is wonderful.  My issue is reconciling the want to be spiritually fulfilled-to seek answers and live in a righteous way-while, simultaneously, trying to convey sexuality and my experience with sex in a tasteful way. In other words, I want to honor God, but I also want to write about the spiritual connection that lies within sex. I wanna tastefully pen sex stories, to be blunt! ☺️ Sex inside of marriage is pleasing to God. It’s encouraged to keep the relationship healthy. Outside of marriage, there is some conflict. I’ll be reading and studying on my own-not taking others’ interpretations of what the word says. It’s just I am an expr...

Death….the ugly side….

 My father died, a month ago (2/12/25). I am not doing well. I was with him in the hospital room. It was not a quiet, just slipped away-type of death. Besides me, there were about 8 or 9 hospital staff members in the room, working on him. I lied. Eight or nine weren’t working on him. About 4 were actively working, the rest were just….there.  When I’m up to it, I’ll blog about the horrible experience at Piedmont Eastside Hospital-Snellville, GA. The two doctors that made me HATE that hospital. That’s where he died.  I’m from Louisiana, but I live in Ga. My father lives in-lived in Louisiana. He’s a widower, as my mom passed in 2016 (05/24/16). He was with her, in the hospital, when she died. They had been together for 40 years. Nine months prior, (09/05/2015) my 38 year old brother died. They grieved that lost. Mom never really recovered. She had lost two brothers in 2014. One in January and one in December. We began 2014 and 2015 with funerals.  Anyway, my dad visits...
