I don't know about this. You have to remember the age. This is all very pre-mainstreaming of porn. There was a lot of shame and stigma circulating around female masturbation in the 1970s. It took Sheri Hite, Nancy Friday, Our Bodies /Ourselves to undo all that. I didn't even think about it until I was in my mid-20s and bought My Secret Garden. And, none of my partners have seen me masturbate bc I am having excellent sex WITH them. I'd much rather be having stellar sex with my partner than masturbating.
This circle is for discussing anything and everything relating to women's history, even if it's not explicitly feminist.
