When I am alone, I concentrate on stimulating my clitoris, and I orgasm much faster with a special intensity. I try to imagine the most exciting fantasy; then as I touch my clitoris, with increasing force, I feel myself reaching an orgasm. My body tenses, at times my breathing almost stops, the speed of the strokes increases, sometimes almost wildly, and, suddenly, wow! A rapid and intense spasm starts at my genitals and goes through my body. Then I feel a deep relaxation.”Marta, 27 years old“I had never touched myself. At least not consciously. I thought it was very difficult. Not that I saw it as a ‘sin,’ but I did consider it as something wrong. Fortunately, I overcame my inhibitions, and I realized that I had never before had an orgasm. Now I know what I need, and what an orgasm means. I also know what I have to do to have it when I’m alone or if I’m with my partner.”Ana, 35 years oldFor many women, it is difficult to admit that we masturbate. We are used to hearing that masturbation “is a man’s thing”
