The main character of the novel is writing this in her journal:
All the sexperts state that self-pleasuring is normal and healthy. Then why doesn't it feel healthy to me? The sexperts reason that in order to help another pleasure you, first you had to know what brought you such delights. Well, someone should have written that notice to Antoine who touched me in ways and in places that I didn't know had nerve endings. I could have never pointed him to those spots. And what do the sexperts say about being touched from across the room by a simple glance? I sure as hell could not have ever practiced that on myself. Why did self-pleasuring leave me feeling cheated and more alone than ever? The sexperts never discuss the side effects of all that self-indulgence. There was no one to hold me together and snuggle with after the explosion blew me to pieces. No one to even kiss that special curve at the bottom of my spine. I have concluded that self-discovery was fine for kids, but after junior high school it was simply self-torture. I had to chuckle as I continued to write. In junior high school I thought I had discovered some great secret to the gateways of sexuality. Now that I know the real deal: that's just a waste of good energy and juices. If I'm ever blessed with children I'm going to teach them that as soon as they hit puberty: get your play in now, kids because once you discover the touch of another the thrill will never be the same.

Thank you for using my Wish as inspiration. That was written and presented to a person with a pulse. I hear you, and really its to each or her own. Some self pleasure others don't. When I did it I did not feel cheated but I guess its different for a woman. I have heard more women say that they would rather be with a real person than a toy. There is no rule that says every woman must have a toy but some believe better a toy or a hand than nothing at all.
IRL is better than AA (most days).
Good read my sista.
