The stigma around discussing masturbation is especially prominent in India, particularly for women, where societal norms often dictate silence on such matters. Apoorva Arora, known for her roles in Collage Romance and Udan Patolas, revealed that she had never been educated or informed about self-pleasure. In a candid chat with The Male Feminist host Siddhaarth Aalambayan, Apoorva confessed, “Nobody ever told me, or taught me this because I was a little reserved about it. These topics were difficult for me to initiate conversations on, and nobody around me was like that with whom I could talk about these things.”

The revelation came during a conversation about menstruation when Apoorva was not getting her periods. It was then that her mother, in a remarkably soft tone, broached the subject. Apoorva recalled, “For the first time, my mother said, ‘This is what you should do, you should masturbate,’ and she just walked off after that.” The actress was taken aback by the unexpected advice, wondering how her mother, with whom she had never discussed such matters before, could be so matter-of-fact about it.

However, Apoorva’s surprise soon turned into a realization. She recognized that her mother, like any other individual, was well aware of these aspects of life, but societal norms had conditioned her to refrain from discussing them openly, especially with her own children. The incident highlighted the existing gap in communication about such fundamental aspects of human life within families.

Apoorva’s revelation serves as a reminder that breaking the silence around topics like masturbation is essential for fostering a healthier and more open dialogue about sexuality. It reflects the need for a societal shift toward normalizing discussions around these subjects, particularly within family dynamics, to promote understanding and eliminate the stigma associated with self-pleasure.
