“Get to know your body. Sit down with a mirror and play genital show- and-tell, a brilliant concept I learned at a bodysex workshop with iconic Sex for One author and sex educator Betty Dodson, aka the "Mother of Masturbation." When was the last time you sat down and took a good hard look at your pussy? Like got all Nancy Drew in your business and explored every fold, crease, and flap? Pulled back the clitoral hood and revealed that marvelous magic-making bead? Women have the same number of nerve endings in their clits as men have in their dicks, but it's hard to get off if you don't appreciate the skin you're in.”
