I have been sexually active for almost two years and yesterday I had my first orgasm, and I wasn't even having intercourse. Is there something wrong with me?

Dear Reader,

No, something is right with you! Your body works -- congratulations! You're not alone -- intercourse is not the only way to achieve orgasm. Some women have their first orgasm through masturbation, use of a vibrator, or oral sex, among other things. In fact, some people can "think" themselves into an orgasm, and some orgasms happen when someone is dreaming and there's no physical stimulation at all (2% of women can orgasm through fantasy alone). If you are interested in more information regarding orgasm, search through Alice's Sexuality archives.

Bravo! May it be the first of many to come.

My best,

Alice
