I have this memory of when I was a young. I had slept over a friends house and was waiting for my mom to pick me up. While I was waiting, my friend showed me this book that her mom had. It had lots of illustrations of female genitalia. I remember thinking about both, how uncomfortable I was, and how curious it made me feel.
I hear similar stories like mine all the time at my practice. Especially from women who are eager to learn more about their own sexuality. I ask them questions like, “who taught you about sexuality?” and “what did you learn about your female anatomy?” A lot of people say, “not much, accept for the reproductive stuff they taught us in health class.”
If you’re someone who wants to begin exploring your own body but don’t know where to start, then you are in the right place.
