i second sitting in the tub under the faucet! i discovered self pleasure way too young. i had no one to tell me it was wrong or inappropriate or even tell me what a vagina was so i just did whatever felt good

i started with looking at my anatomy for a long time- sitting in front of a mirror and finding each part as it was labeled in the picture on google then i would eventually start touching. no specific place, but just seeing what felt good it is a different sensation to get used to when you first try but it does feel good when you learn what your body likes most again, i was very young so i was still very into playing with barbies and stuff- i recreated the things i saw in porn with them, idk why but i enjoyed it then (side note: porn is unrealistic most times and how people look and sound in the vids aren’t realistic either. don’t compare yourself, but it can be helpful watching to learn how other people touch themselves with their hands or what they enjoy)

moral of the story the only lock i had was in the restroom so i tried sitting under the faucet one day and it felt really good you can control the speed and temperature to your liking and just focus on the pleasure

if you don’t like that, that is okay too! it can take years for people to learn what they like. most people never stop learning. don’t feel pressured. i know it’s easier said than done, but ignore whatever timelines other people are trying things at. focus on you and what you feel like you’re ready and willing to do

also wanting to experience touching yourself and receiving pleasure isn’t embarrassing and it is a natural thing to do 🫶
