Yes, yes…May is Masturbation month. I’m sure you’ve heard it by now. I’d planned to keep my thoughts on the topic to myself, but this morning I got inspired to speak up.
This morning while I was reading Dad’s House Blog, I became inspired by David’s opinion on single moms and sex toys. His opinion, in a nutshell, is that all us single moms should throw out our sex toys and hook up for real with all the great single dads out there that need some sweet lovin’ of their own.
Now, I won’t entirely argue with his logic, since there’s at least one single dad out there who is six different shades of awesome, but honestly, there are times when hooking up just isn’t possible, practical, and dare I say it – wanted, even. Sure, there’s nothing like a warm body to snuggle up with, but I know that sometimes it’s about doing something awesome for myself.
If you don’t believe me, just take a wander over to T’s Quest. I think she’s convinced more than one of us single moms to go vibrator shopping for a little something new.
heh.
In any case, I just want to go on record and tell all you single moms out there that you know what? It’s okay to not need a man…hell, it’s okay to sometimes not even WANT a man all the time. ‘Cuz it’s okay for it to be all about you sometimes.

Here’s Pink doing a very sexy live version of The Divinyls’ I Touch Myself (wishing the quality was better):
And, well, you know, it’s not a post about masturbation without this classic:
So….yeah. Embrace your ability to pleasure yourself, ladies. It’s part of what being a strong, independent, and confident woman is all about!

Single Parent Bloggers Rock;






Mmmmkay. I want to know where I can get one of those couches with the hands that poke through. Cause… um… yeah.
LOVE Pink.
Great songs to add to the soundtrack of masturbation month.
Personally, I think its very empowering as a woman to know what pleases you.
Because then, you can teach every man how to be the best lover you ever had.
I’m with you, T. I think that masturbation has definitely made me a better lover.
And you’re right – it’s very empowering. After all, if you don’t know what pleases you, how can you expect someone else to?
By the way, the best line ever with regards to this subject of masturbation:
“I won’t worry and I won’t fret, ain’t no law against it yet…”
Thank you Ms. Lauper.
I’ve got a “device” but I put it away now…
Oh, I agree that it’s okay for a single mom to not need a man. Heck, I’ve been divorced 9 years, raising 2 kids half-time. Clearly I don’t need a woman!!!!!
That said, I’d rather have a woman in my bed than not. (I’d rather have a woman in my life for multiple reasons, but this discussion is focused on sex, so I’ll keep it as such)
Hmmm…. can’t we all just masterbate together????
I had no clue She Bop was about masturbation! LOL … need to look up those lyrics!
