We all have different masturbation stories. Many of us began to explore at a young age, while others didn’t until they were much older. There may be different ways we were introduced to it. Some of us have never masturbated. No matter when it was that we started our masturbation journey, and if we have not, it’s a tool that may be used for stress release, quality time, and intention setting.
Though masturbation can produce in our physical bodies a feeling of euphoria, it may be an activity that disturbs us mentally or emotionally. Perhaps because this activity has been considered ‘selfish’ or ‘harmful’ for religious or cultural reasons, but also perhaps because of any trauma we have experienced, especially as it relates to sexual trauma. Any blockages that we may experience as we reach for this tool is valid, and we should take our time exploring those blockages, allowing us to feel our feelings without pushing ourselves to the next step of our journey.
The best part is that we are not alone in our journeys. Join us on Sunday July 12th from 3 to 5 PM on Zoom as we discuss our journeys to self care through masturbation. We look forward to seeing you there! This event is one of many this year around promoting the well being and vitality of QPOC communities in Austin, TX.
