This Woman's View

12. A great gynecologist – If you do not have a gynecologist you can trust, ask a friend for a recommendation. I would say ask your mother, but there are some things that I, personally, would mind. Knowing this man/woman has seen my mother’s hoohoo would be one of those things. What if there was a comparison!? Ack!

11. That female friend with whom you can talk about sex openly – I wish I had known Samantha from Sex and the City when I was younger. My life would have been so much easier. Gawd imagine the orgasms I wouldn’t have faked!

10. A male gay friend – Gay or straight men are basically the same, except the gays are cleaner, better dressed, better groomed, funnier.. OK they aren’t the same, but I can’t quite explain the actual value of this friend, though I will try. You rarely have to worry about jealousy. You can go to certain bars without being self-conscious. You get told all the time about how gorgeous you are, by gorgeous men! And you never, ever, ever have to worry about them being interested in your crotch!

9. One brand name designer handbag – I cannot tell you how many times, when feeling low, I have put my wallet into my Coach handbag and been happier, almost instantly. There is something about owning a decadent accessory that makes you swing your hips a little more, makes you step a little lighter, makes you smile, and sigh, and go “mmmmmmmmmmm”. Visit your local consignment shop!

8. One pair of incredible shoes – If you do not own a pair of shoes which, when worn, make your feet feel like they stepped into heaven and your psyche go into multiple orgasms, buy a pair! And not sneakers!!!!!!

7. A no-nonsense gym - This gym is for working out. This gym is for sweating. This gym is for losing weight, gaining weight, working hard, relieving stress. This gym is not for wearing makeup, fancy leotards, leg warmers (*slap*) or scoping men (though if this happens its a good thing!).

6. A great vibrator – Pink Bunny Rabbit Vibrator. Personally I love my bunny. I wouldn’t trade it for the world.

5. This Oprah article or episode – The Best Life Week with Dr. Laura Berman – Show Recap . If you can find this episode somewhere to watch, I highly recommend it. I believe it changed my sex life for the better.

4. A pet, if you’re single – Dog, cat, fish, gerbil, hamster, rabbit, mouse, rat, snake, spider, beetle.. I don’t care what you get, but find one. I don’t think that married women need a pet, but I still recommend it. A pet is a part of life which is independent of any other part. It has nothing to do with work, men, family, food or weight. Its just there to love and be loved.

3. Sex and the City – The Complete Series (Collector’s Giftset) – A lot of questions and stereotypes of women are really thrown out the window with this show. This show is the ultimate in feminine feminism. Its about the fact that these are women, who act like women, and act like men. Its frank and honest. Its funny and heartbreaking. I love every second of it!

2. A diary – This is just for yourself. Everything you want to say. Write a page about what you wanted to say to that freaking skank that pushed ahead of you today. Write a page about that guy that didn’t call you back. Write a page about that orgasm you had and how you got it. Most importantly read your pages. Get a better understanding of yourself.

1. A little black dress – The best piece of clothing in your closet! It should fit perfectly and allow for some imperfections!

I purposefully did not put partners into this article. Women do not need a partner. We are strong and capable and self-sufficient.

But wouldn’t say no if you find him or her!
