Hi im new! New here and New to this all..
(english is not my first language, so my grammar is not perfect...)
I never had someone to talk with about this stuff, sure I have parent to talk but still they wouldn't be this comfortable and I have friends too but I just cannot talk to them about this.
So, today I actually explored my body.. I have read on internet how to do it I did.. and I actually touched my vagina.. (i hope im not using inappropriate language.) So i did that and.. I felt sensations like its really sensitive, and I was not sure... I just wanted to make sure its okay? Or if any general advice as it was my first time. :ɛ

Welcome to the boards, Vee! No need to apologize for your English, and tbh, over the decades I have worked internationally, I generally find that many people who speak English as a secondary language do a better job or if that a lot of folks whose first language it is, truly. We appreciate you working with our own language limitations!

It's not inappropriate to talk about or name body parts here, no worries.

I'm not sure what you're asking is okay or not. If you mean is it okay to touch your vulva or vagina, yes: they are body parts like all your others, and it's always okay for us to touch any part of our own bodies that we want to, for any reason. They're ours!

Is that what you mean, or are you asking about something different?
