Jacqui’s Video Pick: How to Choose the Right D*ldo
In this 6 minute YouTube video Betty Dodson and Carlin talk about checking the size first, using a zucchini – yep – sounds weird but can save a lot of time. Buy more than one to start!
There are many options, sizes and materials: glass, silicon and medical grade steel… watch out for nooks and crannies that are hard to keep clean. And remember that different lube is needed for different material options – especially silicon!
Jacqui’s Video Pick: Vulva Massage Basics
In this 13 minute YouTube video Bodysex leaders, Carlin and Laura, talk about the basics of vulva massage, which is the first step in sexual awakening. They talk about different ways you can approach this practice. I love a good vulva massage, but I am not a fan of having oil as a lubricant they talk about. I feel like the oil gets all over the place when I’m by myself and don’t have much time. Clean up is a bitch! So, check it out and see what works for you.

Jacqui’s Article Picks: How Can I Just Lose Myself in Pleasure?
Dr Betty was asked, “How Can I Just Lose Myself in Pleasure without these stupid images that vie for my attention and keep me from relaxing?”
Watch out for male sex gurus giving inhibited women their first or any orgasms. Women should always be the first person to penetrate themselves and give themselves their first orgasms.
Beware the male definition of clitoris in the dictionary. It may say the clitoris is the female phallus, as the woman’s source of sexual arousal.
Excerpt from the article:
What is the Internal Clitoris? The Internal Clitoris includes the clitoral shaft, glans and hood. Inside our bodies the clitoris continues with a wishbone-like structure called the legs with the bulbs next to that surrounding a portion of the vaginal canal. Also included is the urethral and perineal sponges – these all puff up with blood when we are aroused.

Jacqui’s Listening Pick: Don’t Wait For Desire
Laura and Carlin break down arousal. It really is that simple: the more we touch the more we feel. Connecting with your vulva every day even without reaching orgasm helps us build and maintain desire. I feel really sad when I hear that women have completely given up on orgasms and/or sex. That – particularly in long term relationships – there is almost an expectation that sexual desire will burn out… that it can take a concerted effort.

“Until women can appreciate the appearance of their vulvas and embrace the power that’s inherent in their magnificent sex organ, there will no women’s sexual liberation. Most of us will agree that without sexual freedom there can be no self. Orgasmic women unite!”
