hi, robin.

[unamaga]

Robin and I were talking, as we do, and we got onto the subject of fingering somehow. That, of course, led to orgasms and how we can't understand a certain lack of them in the female population. SO, poll ahead. Enter at own risk and feel free to throw in two cents.

[Poll #957465]

God, I have no shame online. Ask me anything. *L*

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

\o/ right there with ya, babe. as proven by this entry.

ps, hahaha your earlier poll? rocked hardcore.

[the-liftedlorax.livejournal.com]

So, while I said I wasn't incredibly uncomfortable talking about this (which is true), I think that if we were sitting face to face, I wouldn't answer these questions. It's the anonymity of the internet that makes it okay to talk about masturbating.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

I can understand that. Not so for me, personally, but, yeah. I can definitely understand it.

[arabella-hope.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I'm sure about the third question...it's been awhile. But:

PUSSY PRIDE!

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

ROCK! \m/ Pussies ftw!

[longleggedgit.livejournal.com]

I hate how this culture encourages girls to be ashamed of the fact that they are sexual beings, just like guys. :l There's absolutely nothing to be ashamed of, and if more girls were taught it's just as natural for them to masturbate as it is for guys, they'd be better at having orgasms because they'd understand their own bodies. One of my friends, who is recently pregnant and has been sexually active since 13, just had to learn from me what a clitoris is. *shakes head*

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

I agree with that a freaking lot. I remember a high school friend of mine actually shocked when I told her that girls physically could masturbate. She asked me how that would even work, and...what. What is that.

Sigh, society. Sigh.

[longleggedgit.livejournal.com]

It's terrible, is what it is. Little girls are raised to see themselves as nothing but sexual objects to be put on display, but they aren't educated about sex at all, and when they do experience it they're supposed to be passive recipients rather than active participants. Part of the reason I'd like to study sexology is to one day write a book and really widely educate people about bullshit like this.

I think you're getting skewed data - we on the nets know our stuff.

And dude, I object to the third question - how can you NOT KNOW? Oh, hmm, maybe I have felt waves of intense pleasure through my entire body BUT I'M NOT QUITE SURE, I THINK I NEED MORE TIME. *g*

[immoralilly.livejournal.com]

and by third question, I mean third option on the first question. *headdesk*

[immoralilly.livejournal.com]

ps - *fingers you helpfully*

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

oh baby. *codes you into the bed*

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

So true. LJ is especially full of people who indulge in sins of the flesh. Mhm.

AND DUDE, have you ever read through some of the stuff on ivillage or whatever? There are a lot of women out there who are actually like, "UH, I think I might have had an orgasm, but I'm not sure." I think it has to do with the fact that they're not really intense, so you just think you hit a particularly sensitive spot and keep on, waiting for something huge to happen?

[pushingyouaway.livejournal.com]

i'm a firm believer that a woman needs to be comfortable with herself...and needs to know herself before she can REALLY have an orgasm

um, because i really don't care and think human sexuality is muey importante... the ONLY orgasms i have had? are from my right hand. or from my lil' life saver *pets*


*gives you cookies*

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

*points* exactly. i can't imagine being...secure enough to let someone else try to give me an orgasm or even touch me if i hadn't done it first and gotten comfortable with it in my own time.

[photo-confused.livejournal.com]

no shame what-so-ever. lol

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

ftw, darlin! \o/ who needs shame! no one!

[peccare.livejournal.com]

i am young and non-sexual!

ps you know everyone can look at everyone else's answers? maybe you should change that poll option?

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

yeah, i figure that if people can answer it, they can deal with other people seeing their answers. :\ sorry if that bothers you, hon. you can, I THINK, retract your answers if you want to.

[peccare.livejournal.com]

lol, no that's okay, i just thought maybe you had forgotten to?

also: pls to make moar pretty icons if you have time/inclination?

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

*salutes* i can do icons! what of, dearie?

[peccare.livejournal.com]

hee *is excited* ummmm.... y'know... pretty things. like kittens! aaand... ducklings! and tigerlilies, and also, an amazing, one-of-a-kind, no-one-has-seen-the-likes-of-this-before, dean winchester icon xD

I love the fact that everyone is so open about things like this online. If someone asked me this IRL I would blush and stammer my way through it, if I'd answer at all. Not because I'm embarrassed per se, but because it's just something you don't talk about where I live. People get uncomfortable about it.

For me it's like the difference between LJ userpics and MSN userpics. Most userpics I have uploaded on LJ, I would never ever use on MSN, because people are bound to ask questions and get weirded out by the answers.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

But if you were talking to someone you'd known from online, would that be different? 'Cause, yeah, a lot of my RL friends, this isn't a topic that I would really broach with them, just because I know they'd be uncomfortable in the extreme.

[noa-luna.livejournal.com]

Yeah, then it would be different :)

[chickyoops.livejournal.com]

I love your polls, baby. *chuckles* Meesa has no shame, as well know. :-*

[chickyoops.livejournal.com]

Okay, Sofie, don't do comments when you've just woken up. You need to be able to type before trying to do such an impossible act.

[immoralilly.livejournal.com]

*pets you*

[chickyoops.livejournal.com]

*snuggles*

[immoralilly.livejournal.com]

awww, wifey.

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

*feels the love*

[immoralilly.livejournal.com]

Hon! Change of plans: call me at 7am my time or 1pm yours (I am thinking that they are the same.) Yay and wooo!

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

Hubby discovered long ago that I have absolutely no TMI factor - face to face or whatever else. Sometimes it amuses him, sometimes it scares the hell out of him. ;-)

[unamaga.livejournal.com]

All the better to keep him on his toes!! \o/
