THE TWO SEXES: WOMAN’S SELF APPRAISAL
1 Stand naked in front of a full-length mirror and take the time to examine your body carefully,
from head to toe as though you were seeing yourself for the first time. Use another mirror to
see yourself from the side or back.
2 Move around. Kneel, bend and sit with your legs apart, then together.
3 Concentrate on your best points; you are bound to have some. The shapeliness of your legs, the
length of your neck, high cheekbones, or dainty feet, for example.
4 Reconsider the features that you dislike and try to see them in a more positive light. For
instance, although you may think that you are fatter than the ideal, you may have a
Rubenesque physique that is attractive to men.
5 Using a hand mirror, and in the best possible light, examine your vagina. Identify your
different parts. In order to see and touch the clitoris properly, you will need to pull back the
hood of skin covering it. You can run your fingers along the inner and outer vaginal lips and
back along the area between the anus and vagina to find the more sensitive areas. Separate the
inner lips in order to explore the entrance to the vagina and inside.
6 When you have finished, take a warm bath. Soap your hands and explore your body with them,
noticing the different sensations you experience in all your body areas by changes in touch and
pressure.
