Our Favorite Erogenous Zones
Every part of your body has its own role in getting you ready for sex and experiencing orgasm, so it's important to know where all those parts are, what they do best, and how they work together to make you feel good.
Your body has thousands of erogenous zones or areas where stimulation can create pleasure. These can be on the outside surface of the body such as the nipples, inner thighs, and genitals, as well as inside the body such as the G-spot and A-spot. All these areas contain nerve endings that respond to different types of stimulation and can create pleasure. Knowing which areas are the most sensitive on your body can help you enjoy yourself more and find satisfaction.
To me self pleasure isn't about orgasms, it's about self empowerment
Empowering Ourselves Through Self Pleasure
In a society that traditionally centralizes on sex from a man’s vantage view, sexuality from a woman’s point of view is not as openly shared, discussed, or celebrated. The culture we live in has normalized masturbation for men, but the topic around self-pleasure for women has been not only taboo but also looked at as shameful or dirty. What is backward about that imposition is that a huge part of who we are as individuals, and as women is our sexuality.
