We often talk about how important "the talk" is for parents, and we love this interview from Refinery 29 of a mother and daughter who had a very honest conversation about sex - including masturbation.

We posted this piece by JoEllen Notte last year and we're giving it another spin because it's just so important. We looove celebrating Masturbation Month and encouraging people to explore their own bodies. But, just like any other act we celebrate, we also have to remember that nothing is for everyone. If that's what masturbation is for you, that's OK too. You do you!
According to this article from Romper, a lot of the benefits of masturbation when pregnant are the same as the benefits of masturbating when, well, not pregnant. That said, if you've got a bun in the oven, better sleep and an easier labor in exchange for orgasms is a pretty sweet deal.
