Question:
I also meant to say somehting else last time when I wrote. When I masturbate I don't insert my finger in my vagina I just rub my clitoris with my fingers. Someone told me that that isn't reall masturbating. But I always have orgasms when I do it and I ejeculate

You don't need to stick the fingers into the vagina to masturbate. Most women find that rubbing the clitoris is what creates orgasm. When a person has intercourse it really isn't the putting of the penis in the vagina that creates orgasm for the female. It is more about how the clitoris and other sensitive areas become stimulated. You are learning very valuable information about your body so that someday when you do engage in intercourse you will be able to help a partner learn how to pleasure you. This is what makes a sexual relationship good. The two partner's know their own bodies and teach the other one what feels good. That is why the intimacy that a couple has really helps enrich their sex life. They can talk and share about these things rather than just have "silent sex". You are also lucky that you have orgasms and that you ejaculate. Many women never learn to have these pleasures and go a lifetime without them.
