Okay, your ETA made me officially fangirl you. *adores and admires*

A long time ago, I watched a presentation by a porn star and sex activist that got me thinking about the same kind of issues (not least that she did a movie about masturbation and mentioned in it how many of the women masturbated lying on their stomachs, not backs as shown in porn). I didn't run with that enlightenment as far or nearly as impressively as you did, but it did make me think about the artificiality and narrowness of what we're often shown versus the wider realities of people's lives.

But anyway. In all my babble I've neglected to mention that this story is ever so hot,and oh, I can just *see* curly sweet little Polina, rocking against her hands hard enough to shake the bed.

Oh wow... thank you so much!

It makes me alternately sad and furious that there are people out there who honestly do think that what they're doing; what they naturally and instinctively do is wrong and not normal. It can be anything from how you masturbate to who you're attracted to to what kink floats your boat, but people denying what makes them happy is just Not Cool.

Then again, I think masturbation should be covered in middle school sex-ed as an option for exploring healthy sexuality, which I've found to be a rather unpopular view, so everything I say should likely be taken with a grain of salt.

Oh my God, I LOVE your icon! Can I use it too?

Okay, so this was actually really really sexy and very realistic. I did like the backstory too and totally agree with you--there is some sort of expectation on how we do anything sexual. Points for realism.

And I have that damn song stuck in my head now too.

[arcane_lark]

I'm glad that the realism aspect worked and didn't make everything non-hot.

...and my nefarious plan is working. My next fic will be entitled 'The Final Countdown.'

Oh I love this to death. At the risk of tmi, I only masturbated on my stomach until fairly recently and up until I read this I had no idea I wanted a story that shows the way I normally do it. (I also had no idea that I did it unusually, huh.)

Anyways, thanks for this and it's extremely hot!

I'm glad to be of service-- it's not cool that all masturbation fics follow the same formula!

This was fabulous! I'm really a huge fan of Polina, and am so happy you wrote another Polina fic. Also, I appreciate the topic of masturbation addressed in this fic. I have to admit though that I'm bit confused about why she thought she was doing it wrong. Is it because she didn't take her clothes off and act like a porn slut? I thought she was very sexy in a subtle, unassuming way. She was sexy and beautiful in her naturalness.

Well, women in our society are presented with some pretty ridiculous ideas of how they are supposed to behave sexually. Almost nothing in mainstream porn is a realistic depiction of how women's bodies actually work. Combine that with the sheer strangeness of some of Cosmo's sex tips, and a lot of women can get a very skewed image of how they are "supposed" to get off.

I wanted to explore that insecurity and fear that your body is somehow wrong, and figured that Polina was pretty much the perfect vehicle for that.

I'm glad you liked it!

[colazitron]

Wow, I liked it. :)

I'm also impressed that you've worked a rather sensitive issue into this. And done it so flawlessly. It's believable but not overly out-there so it disrupts the flow of reading. Really good.
