The “M” Word; Education & Supports for Self-Stimulation
“The language used in the training was the most significant to me. There’s always a stigma around talking about masturbation and so many other adjectives are used. It was refreshing to hear someone speak about something so natural without shame.”
Description:
Self-stimulation can be awkward and embarrassing to talk about, but it is also the safest expression of a person’s basic, biological sex drive. It is critical to learn how to talk about and support this private topic in a professional manner – whether in team meetings, with family members or support workers, or with the person you are working with.
(v. 25)
