"It feels different every single time, depending on the how and why."
Audio PlayerAnonymous Age 33: She had her first full body orgasm at 33 during Bodysex. Her orgasm feels different every time. It starts in her lower back as heat and her whole body breaks out in a sweat. Sometimes it feels like a full release. Bodysex validated her story of past abuse and forged a new path to pleasure. Masturbation is self-love and self-care.
"I can hear my body when I want to ease off or keep going."
Audio PlayerAnonymous Age 30: She had her first orgasm at 4 or 5 humping stuffed animals. Her orgasm feels like waves inside her body and each feels different. Her clitoris is the most sensitive part of her vulva. Watching the Bodysex film freed her from shame and shift her concept of masturbation to sacred self-loving. Be gentle and love yourself first.

"I'll probably masturbate after this because talking about orgasms makes you horny ."
Audio PlayerAnonymous Age 46: Her first memory of orgasm was rubbing her clitoris on her swing set. Each orgasm feels different – she can experience orgasm without touching her vulva. She reconnected to her orgasm at 38 after living through marital rape. Infidelity helped her take ownership of her sexuality. Sex was her liberator. Once you let go of shame, orgasm is amazing.
"Orgasms feel wonderful, amazing, and self-nurturing to me."
Audio PlayerMegan Jenkins Age 41: Megan had her first orgasm in her mid-30’s at a Bodysex workshop lead by Natasha. Her orgasm feels like a complete release. She struggled with an eating disorder and lots of shame. She believes pleasure can change the world and change the dichotomy of sex.

"[Touching myself] helps me connect with my body, with myself, and calms me down."
Audio PlayerAnonymous Age 43: Her first memory of orgasm was at 16 during masturbation. Her orgasm makes her feel connected to herself. Her father would talk with her about sex and masturbation was supported in her home. Sometimes orgasm alone feels better than with a partner.
