Your Pleasure Anatomy
By Fable & Femme
Masturbation is one of the most natural ways to explore your body, understand pleasure, and build a healthier relationship with yourself. Yet for many women, it is something we were never taught to talk about openly or without shame.
At Fable & Femme, we believe pleasure is part of wellbeing. It is not indulgent, embarrassing, or something you need to earn. Whether you are completely new to masturbation or simply curious to learn more, this guide is here to support you with calm, evidence-based information and reassurance.

A gentle, illustrated guide
You do not need to memorise anatomy to experience pleasure. But understanding your body can help you feel more confident, curious, and at ease.
This simple guide walks through the key parts involved in pleasure - without judgement, pressure, or expectation.
First, a quick reminder
- Bodies vary widely
- Sensation is personal
- There is no correct response
- Pleasure is not performance
You are not broken if your body feels different to someone else’s.
Vulva vs Vagina
Vulva
The external anatomy - everything you can see.
Vagina
The internal canal inside the body.
Most pleasure-related sensations come from the vulva and clitoris, not the vagina.
The Vulva - What You Can See
The vulva includes:
- Mons pubis - the soft area above the vulva
- Labia majora - the outer lips
- Labia minora - the inner lips
- Vaginal opening - the entrance to the vagina
- Urethral opening - where urine leaves the body
All vulvas look different.
Size, colour, symmetry, and texture all vary naturally.
The Clitoris - The Pleasure Centre
The clitoris is the main pleasure organ.
What you can see is only a small part.
- Clitoral glans - the external tip
- Clitoral hood - skin that protects the glans
- Internal clitoris - extends inside the body in a wishbone shape
The clitoris has thousands of nerve endings and exists solely for pleasure.
Why This Matters
Many people are taught that pleasure should come from penetration alone. For most people born with female anatomy, that is not how pleasure works.
Needing clitoral stimulation is:
- Normal
- Common
- Not a failure
Understanding anatomy removes pressure and replaces it with compassion.
Sensation Is Personal
You might notice:
- Some areas feel intense
- Some feel neutral
- Some feel sensitive only sometimes
Hormones, stress, fatigue, and life stages all affect sensation.
There is no baseline you need to reach.
Gentle Exploration (Optional)
If you choose to explore your body:
- Go slowly
- Use a mirror if helpful
- Use lubrication for comfort
- Stop if anything feels uncomfortable
Exploration is an invitation, not a requirement.
A Note on Normal
If you have ever wondered:
- Is my vulva normal?
- Is it normal to need external stimulation?
- Is it normal if pleasure feels different day to day?
The answer is yes.
Bodies are not designed to meet expectations.
They are designed to feel, adapt, and change.

Be Patient With Yourself
Learning what feels good is a process, not a destination.
There is no timeline you need to follow, no milestone you need to reach, and no experience you are supposed to have. Your body is not broken, behind, or failing.
Self-pleasure is an act of self-knowledge. It belongs to you.
Final Thoughts from Fable & Femme
To finish, remember this: pleasure anatomy is not a test, and your body is not a problem to solve. The more you understand the basics, the easier it becomes to replace pressure with curiosity and to recognise what genuinely feels good for you.
There is no universal normal, no required response, and no single route to pleasure, only what feels comfortable, safe, and right in your own body, in your own time.
Unapologetically yours,
