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?

Well, I will have to read the book. Because I don't think that [b] "By the way, the clitoris is a major pleasure zone, which you may have discovered for yourself while masturbating, which is healthy and normal if you want to do that" [/b], out of the blue, would be very validating. In fact, I'd pick quite a different adjective for it. So obviously something has been lost in translation from book to NPR to DCUM.[/quote]

Actually, I think you're on the right track, PP. This sentence for most moms would be a breakthrough. The hostility by some posters towards the OP just goes to show how these topics strike a nerve with many of the prudish women and mothers who post here: women whose mothers failed to adequately empower them to understand and take control of their own sexuality and in turn are now failing their own daughters. Why are these subjects so difficult for so many of you? [/quote]
