Porn has done a lot to give women permission to masturbate. Who cares if it's shown primarily for the benefit of men? It's beautiful that we get to see women treating themselves lovingly, depicted independent of the needs or actions of another person. Though this woman has been posed and probably told what to do, her real masturbation feels like it would be serene and honest. Masturbation is the great equalizer. I believe that all people masturbate. Sometimes when I am intimidated by the beauty of a woman, I imagine her making love to herself alone, and the I feel like I'm a lot closer to her level, like we have something in common. This image reminds me that even women with tremendous sex appeal both desire and need to fuck themselves, for pleasure, for release or because they can't get sex. I have seen many people masturbate, and besides the unmitigated pleasure of the experience, what I like best is how lesbians and straight women, gay and straight men, larger people and smaller, older people and younger ones, all seem so similar when they pleasure themselves, and when they orgasm. For some reason I find great comfort and freedom in that knowledge. Enjoy her. You can be sure she enjoys herself. For a collection of images of female masturbation including women of all shapes, sizes and ages, get yourself a copy of I Am My Lover by Joani Blank. If you can't get it at Amazon, try Good Vibrations in Berkeley, the author's store. [Electronic rendering by Eric] |
