Touching ones self
I have a mentee that has confided in me that she can't stop touching her intimate area. She says it is not always for sexual pleasure, sometimes just playing with herself or touching it in general.
She wants to know how she can stop doing this as she feels it is not normal and not acceptable for her to be doing it all the time when she is bored, watching T.V, in bed etc.
To me this sounds a bit like an addiction or a habbit that she cannot break. Any advice on what i can tell her?
I have copied this from womans health so sorry for the duplicate post.

she doesn't know who i am. I am an E-mentor at my university and this first year student has emailed me with this 'problem'.
I didn't get the impression it was a come on....

I think the issue/fantasy is in her head, and not in her body/hands/action. if she's a teenager, it could be both the fantasy about 'body' and the obsession with you. She may be meeting her needs by talking to you about this. (And I don't mean she is weird)
Then there is the possibility that she is 'touching' herself, unable to 'stop' as a way of coming on to YOU, the mentor?
