Now they insist that I go with them to pick out my first vibrator, and I’m freakingout! I’ve never really even mastur bated before. I don’t want all my friends to know what kind of vibra tor I use! I don’t even know what kind of vibrator to use! How do I get through this with as little embarrassment as possible? -Whitney, 20 Dearest Whitney, Disclaimer: Dr. Kim is not areal doctor, nor has she ever been. She’s working on it, though.

Clackamas Print The Clackamas Print 19600 S. Molalla Ave. OregonCity, OR 97045 . 503-657-6958, ext. 2309 A girl’s first trip to the pom stoe is a momentous occasion. I’m so glad I could be here for you, to hold your hand for the process of purchasing your first battery-oper- It’s good that you’ve decided to check things out on your own a little bit, before you go running in there with a large pack of your wild friends who know you’re a pom- store-virgin. For a first-timer, the adult store can be a very intimidating place. But don’t worry; Dr. Kim is here! I care so much about my readers Editor-in-Chief: Sam Krause Managing; Editor: Megan Koler Copy Editor: Colleen Watkins News Editor: Lydia E. Bashaw A&C Editor Emily Walters Sports Editor: Andrea Simpson Visuals Editors: Kayla Berge, Elizabeth Hitz Associate Editors: Matt Olson, Dustin Ragsdale that I’m going to embarrass myself and exploit my own B.O.B in an effort to make your transition into a relationship with a fake penis run more smoothly. First of all, there’s a lot to look at in the pom store. It’s kind of like the zoo - you’11 be smart to schedule at least an hour out of your day if you want to be sure to see all of the exhibits. Try to not get too distracted by the novelty ice cubes shaped out of nipples, “pocket vaginas” and the entire section devoted to various colors and sizes of butt plugs. While interesting and some times magnetically grotesque, do you really want anyone to see you checking out an extra-large, beaded butt-plug on your very first trip to the pom store? Save those for another trip, once you’ve had a bit more experience, m’kay? Once you have successfully located the “boyfriend” aisle, you might feel a little overwhelmed and confused about which “man” is right for you. I mean, there are so many bells and whistles! On my first trip to the pom store, I made the same mistake many women do when purchasing their first B.O.B. and was confused about the difference between a penis and a plastic wanna-be. I bought this enormous, pink MONSTER of a vibrator, complete with veiny A d M anager : Meredith James S taff W riters : Dale Belbi, Mallory Bashaw, Benjamin Caldwell, Lindsey Decker, Melanie Fisher, Matthew Garrison, Michael Komafel, Zak Laster, Riley Lundgren, Jess Sheppard, John Shufelt, Kyle Steele, Liz Travers, Alexandria Vallelunga, Mistymarie Wilks-Salguero sleeve. I was confused! I felt like, if I was searching for an inti mate “boyfriend,” he should have every fea ture there is to offer a lady such as myself. So, I took him home and removed him from the box. Then, I “assembled” him, took one long look at him - and threw him away. He was just too big. Seriously, my real-life boyfriend would have been jealous. And Whitney, here’s the thing about a vibrator It’s not a penis. And even if it has some kind of sili cone sleeve on it, it still does not have the “give” to it that a penis does. So, in “short,” you should con sider purchasing one that is a bit smaller than a man’s penis. I would honestly recommend that you start out with something under five inch es, and try to avoid anything with a pulsating dolphin on the head of it - just for now. A more utilitarian device will better enable you to get to know your body and decide what you like before you start introduc ing marine life to your vagina.

Your interest in masturbato is a positive thing, and an importar part of every woman’s persona development Having an intimal relationship with yourself is a kej catalyst in having an intimate rela tionship with others.
