So I'm 17 years old and I have been masturbating for about three years now. However, I am not old enough to purchase a dildo where I live. I am only able to satisfy myself with clitoral stimulation. I cannot orgasm from penetration with fingers (mine or anyone else's) and I don't want to have sex just yet. What can I do or what can I use since I can't get a dildo? Also, what things should I absolutely not use?guilty | March 6, 2010

First off, most women cannot orgasm from penetration alone, so you're completely normal on that count. I don't know where you live, but in some stores, they sell 'personal massagers' that are essentially vibrators - but since they're not explicitly for sexual purposes, there's no age limit on buying them. Lube is always a good thing as well, and you don't have to be eighteen to buy that, either. I've heard of women masturbating using showerhead massagers and such, as well. As far as things you should absolutely not use... Really, I'm not sure if there are many things that go on that list. Make sure that whatever you're using is clean, to avoid infection. Also, if you're looking to insert anything, make sure that (a) it won't cause suction and (b) it can't break off... because either of those could end up with a rather awkward trip to the emergency room!Tags: masturbation
