00:00I remember actually very specifically being at a sleepover with my friend
00:05Christina and we were reading this handbook that she had gotten from her
00:09Girl Scout troop. Well the first thing was that the handbook explained what a
00:13tampon was and I had never heard of that before so I was like processing all of
00:17that information and then Christina was like yo by the way if you put a pillow
00:21in between your legs and like rub it a bunch that feels really really good and
00:26I was like solid advice Christina thank you I'm gonna start doing that and then
00:30I started doing that it was probably about fifth grade so I had been
00:34masturbating for a while but I didn't realize that what I was doing was
00:38masturbating or that the like final thing that was happening was an orgasm and I
00:44was on a plane sitting in coach in probably about the fifth grade and I had
00:52masturbated on the plane so I'd already masturbated on the plane not knowing
00:56that that's what it was and I was casually reading a Seventeen magazine in
01:01which someone had written in and asked please explain what masturbation and an
01:06orgasm is and as I was reading the magazine I started realizing not only had
01:12I been doing this but I had been doing this everywhere and had no idea that I was
01:17just publicly masturbating all over the place because I didn't know what it was
01:23and I had this like moment on the plane where I was just absolutely horrified at
01:29school in the car like with my parents just like this is very chill this is real
01:34cool like as if I was eating a snack I was masturbating and then I realized
01:41afterwards like oh this is actually supposed to be private I do have a
01:47vibrator I don't always use it it's not so necessary for me to have one simple
01:53clitoral stimulation works pretty well by hand I think the toys are maybe a
02:00little more fun when you have someone else involved I don't really need them
02:04when I was 13 so by then all the girls were pretty comfortable with each other
02:08and they'd practice making out through saran wrap and all of this stuff and there
02:13were just these nights where girls would be like all right I'm gonna go
02:16masturbate and everybody would get under their covers and be like
02:18you would hear all these sounds and I think that the goal was to get off but
02:28obviously at 13 nobody knows how to do that so like you'd hear like fake sounds
02:32and I mean like yeah that was great but I just thought it was so bizarre that we
02:38were all in the same room so I stopped and then I just like whipped out my
02:42little contraband phone and started playing snake on my Nokia not into the
02:46group masturbation thing I remember trying to masturbate when I was like 11
02:50but I didn't understand what it was and I had heard about it so it's like this
02:56very weird thing where I was like I'm going to masturbate and I tried but like I
03:00wasn't turned on or in any way like sexual or anything so it was like this like
03:04weird like determined as if I was gonna do my homework I guess I tried for about 15
03:09minutes and then I forgot about it for about five years I don't know why I was
03:13just like well I tried it I couldn't like just like running the mile in gym I'm like
03:16well I tried it I'm terrible at it I don't want to do it again and then so it
03:19wasn't really until high school that I tried masturbating again and that
03:22actually worked because I like understood what I was even doing I think I was 15 and
03:28I was reading not to date myself but I was reading Spin magazine and on the back
03:32there was like this essayist who would write like a different essay every month and one
03:36essay was just like a weird like erotica story about like a woman masturbating in a
03:42bathtub and she was fantasizing about like a fire a fire and then a firefighter came
03:46in and had sex with her and that was the first time I was like wait a minute I'm
03:49turned on I bet I could masturbate right now and I did and I will say I remember
03:53masturbating and it wasn't exactly like what I had read it would be like it
03:57wasn't that so I didn't know if I had actually succeeded until I did it again I'm
04:01like oh this has to be it because it's like this very new physical sensation that like
04:06nothing else really compares to it and then you have it you're like what the
04:09fuck was that like you don't even know how to describe it really
