If You Don't Have Time for Sex... As hilarious as Jenna's Marble is in her What Girls Think About During Sex video, there's a lot of truth behind her distractions. As women, we have a lot on our minds and it's important to know that's okay. What's not okay is when we don't allow ourselves to fully enjoy the mind-blowing pleasure we all deserve.
Your to-do list will never be done. Ever. So, rather than push sex to the bottom of your priorities list, give yourself permission to prioritize physical pleasure in your life, says Claire Cavanah, co-founder of Babeland and co-author of "Moregasm: Babeland's Guide to Mind-Blowing Sex."
To start, Cavanah recommends masturbating on your own. Not only does it allow you to be more in touch with yourself (literally), it allows you to discover what sort of stimulation opens the flood gates, and you can really focus on your likes and dislikes without the distraction of a partner. "Masturbation is an effective way to know what you like and how your body responds, because we're all different," she explains.
And if you don't have any interest in doing it, do it anyway. Women who don't make time for sex generally don't make time to masturbate, either, because they've stopped viewing themselves as sexual beings. Even if you don't feel like doing it at first, the practice of self-pleasure will help reacquaint you with your sensual side. Learning about your body and all the ways it can feel pleasure will help both you and your partner in bed, which is important for your sexual health and self-esteem, not to mention the health of your relationship.
