Happy November, From MAUD

Have You Met Your Clit?

If you have not truly met your clitoris yet, today is the day!

Step 1: Grab a mirror. Yes, even if you think you know where it is already
Step 2: Spread your labia, slide your fingers to feel for a 'rubber-like nub' right at the top where your labia divides (you may want to use lube, olive oil or saliva)
Step 3: Once you have found that 'nub', press down and feel it's whole length. That's your clitoris!

Fun Fact: 
An average length of the clitoris is 4 inches. The pea-sized part that we tend to think of is only the glans, the rest is tucked away in your body

Meeting your clitoris is the start of understanding your own sexuality an

WOW. For the first time, I experienced multiple orgasms with my partner of 10 years. This is truly a miracle chair
