Betty,

I wanted to thank you and let you know you're making a difference. I'm a 24 year old single gal who enjoys and believes in the power of the orgasm. My orgasms are intense and very pleasurable, and because its also natural and healthy I've masturbated often since day 1.

I've always been a little self conscious with my boyfriends which usually means I indulge in it less when we're together. I enjoy our intercourse but masturbation allows me to orgasm more often and gives me other pleasures I would miss. I'm always encouraging boyfriend to loosen up and do it more in the hopes they would take to it like me and understand. I know they masturbate on occasion and they never turn down my hands and they always enjoy it but they just can't admit it.

I tried to get my current boyfriend to do it more by using my hand on him and trying to get him to continue on his own. I know he enjoyed it and he was always erect and came hard for me. He had the desire but just needed encouragement. With help from your web site and book "Sex for One: The Joy of Selfloving" I turned my current boyfriend around. He now masturbates a lot with me and on his own and now I'm no longer self conscious with him. He can't even go a day without it, even on days we have sex. It's so cute! Surprisingly, our sex is more honest and fulfilling now.. and more often.

Thanks,
Sigrid
