Steinberg on Berman on Oprah

2009-04-25 00:03:44.31895+02 by Dan Lyke 0 comments

David Steinberg muses on a Laura Berman appearance on Oprah:

Berman's basic argument was that it's important for teenage girls to learn that they have the power to give themselves the wonderful experience of orgasm, rather than thinking they need to go to boys (or other girls) for that kind of pleasure, or confusing the thrill of their first orgasm with being madly in love with whoever happens to be their sexual partner at that special moment. Berman went so far as to recommend that mothers buy vibrators for their daughters to help them get the most out of their self-pleasuring experiences and discoveries.
