I’ve always loved my vulva, but I’ve hardly shown it any physical love. I didn’t look at my vulva in the mirror until I was seventeen. And it would be a number of years before I did it again. I know that there is no right or wrong about how much you should masturbate. But I know I can easily say I’ve done it less than a hundred times, and I’m in my late twenties. And I think I want to change that. I want my vulva and I to become the best buddies there ever were.

(Update):
The last couple of months have been revolutionary for my vulva and me. In just over two months, I've tripled the number of times that I've masturbated. Last night alone, I spent about two hours exploring myself. Plus, my long-term partner and I have had some very open and honest conversations, resulting in some of the best sex in our ten-year relationship. I feel like I've arrived late to the game, especially since I did not grow up in a sexually repressed home. But it's okay, since now my vulva and I have gone from casual friends to BFFs who love spending time together.
