Alexis Tae is so amazing, bubbly, and open, so I knew she'd be the PERFECT person to talk to for our candid study of masturbation.I started off easy by asking if Alexis remembered the first time she masturbated. 'I remember that one of my favorite places to actually masturbate was in my closet,' she shared, flustered and laughing. 'I had all my stuff set up that I would play with so that nobody in the house would bother me. I'd go in there and... use a toothbrush! And I'd just... rub it! Then I graduated to other things, eventually.'When I followed up by asking her how many times a day she masturbates, Alexis admitted to masturbating every single day, multiple times a day - usually when she starts her morning and before she calls it a night.I figured if she was spending that much time chasing pleasure, she must've had quite the routine. Little did I know, I was mistaken! 'My masturbation routine is SO boring and SO quick,' Alexis sheepishly admitted. 'I actually don't watch porn. Every now and then I'll read some sexy stuff. Other than that, I literally just plug in my toy, hover it over my clit, and I tease myself for like 10 seconds. If I want to spend more time with myself, I'll take it slow.'Then I was curious about what personally started it all - was it the toothbrush? 'I don't remember exactly what it was that made me orgasm, but I DO remember that I got really obsessed with that,' Alexis stated with glee.Since she's so comfortable with herself and her body, I wondered if she had any words of advice for women who feel ashamed to pleasure themselves. This is when Alexis became serious.'If you are feeling uncomfortable with the idea of pleasuring yourself, you just have to remember that you're the only person who knows what you're doing. It's your OWN secret. You don't have to tell anybody or share it with anybody. You can do it in the shower, do it in the car, do it in your bed, do it when your significant other's in the other room! It's all for YOU.'Once the interview was done and Alexis joyously moved on to masturbating for us, I was truly touched by her empowering words. I hope you are, too.-Bree Mills
