[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. I find it interesting no one wants to reply to my 9:21 post. Crickets as usual.[/quote]

There was nothing really to respond to.

My girl is not old enough to talk about masturbation, but I have with my boys and asked them to do it in privacy and to clean up after (not throw the sock on the floor!). Nothing is wrong with it and we don't treat is like it is dirty. My daughter would touch herself when she was little because it made her feel good and we would always tell her that it is OK to do, but to please do that in her room and not at the kitchen table.

Personally, I would have died if my mom would have talked to me about my clit or masturbation. I would not have been interested in that convo at all. I had plenty of sorrid books that explained these things in graphic detail. THe important thing is to NEVER treat sex or sexuality like it is dirty.[/quote]

Well perhaps the lack of education and empowerment as Orenstein puts it rolls from generation to generation resulting in the outcomes she observes.[/quote]

What is your point in response to my post? makes no sense...at all.[/quote]

Refers to your second paragraph. You didn't want the topic discussed and you don't want to discuss it. This is what I meant by rolling from generation to generation. This lack of full disclosure is a problem according to Orenstein when it comes to girls and women feeling a lack of sexual empowerment.

So are you saying I don't feel sexual empowerment because my mom did not discuss my clit with me or how to properly masturbate? I didn't know one needed their mother to be their masturbation Sherpa to have a healthy relationship with sex. Here I thought I was quite content humping my pillow.  Glad Orenstein has it all figured out for me. [/quote]

No one ever said anything about instructing! Simple validation that it's normal and healthy was all that was said. You all think such validation from a mother is worthless?

Who said that?  Do you think modern mothers are telling their girls their clits don't exist or are dirty and this is leading to suicide? Get real. You just want to start a fight. Maybe you are bored.[/quote]
