The Masturbational

I have a relationship with my own body that's more honest than any I've ever had with another person. My hands know me. They know exactly where to press, how to vary the pressure, when to be gentle and when to demand. They don't need a roadmap or gentle encouragement. They respond to the slightest shiver, the quietest gasp, with an intuition no partner could ever match. I have mapped my own pleasure with the precision of a cartographer, charting every sensitive nerve ending, every spot that makes my hips buck off the bed.
