LAS VEGAS, Feb. 6 – On Feb. 6, the United Nations’ Zero Tolerance Day for victims of female genital mutilation (FGM)​, the humanitarian organization Clitoraid will send its recovering patients a "Womanizer" vibrator donated by its inventor, Mickael Lenke.

“Using that vibrator will be part of our patients’ post-operative therapy following clitoral restorative surgery,” explained Clitoraid Spokesperson Nadine Gary. See video

She said Clitoraid's volunteer surgeons, Dr. Marci Bowers and Dr. Harold Henning, have successfully operated on over 250 FGM victims since 2009.

“The surgery and postoperative therapy restored their dignity as women,” Gary said, adding that her organization’s revolutionary charity stems from the humanitarian vision of international spiritual leader Maitreya Rael.

“His pacific, atheist philosophy advocates women’s rights, including the inherent right to sexual pleasure,” Gary explained.

FGM, also called genital cutting, affects 130 million women in the world today according to the WHO.

“This gruesome practice consists of mutilating the genitals of little girls, particularly the clitoris,” Gary said. “It’s usually performed without anesthesia, and it’s done to deny sexual pleasure. The intent is to turn women into chaste, subdued and faithful wives.”

But husbands don't like having an FGM wife, Gary pointed out.

“Thousands of victims reach out to Clitoraid, begging us to make them whole again and save their marriages,” she said.

During the past two decades, science has significantly updated anatomical knowledge of women's genitalia.

“For the first time in history, the clitoris has been properly mapped, revealing an organ far more voluminous than previously thought,” Gary explained. “Its visible glans is only the tip of a massive amount of pleasurable tissue. That makes genital mutilation a reversible condition, and French urologist Dr. Pierre Foldes launched a revolutionary surgical technique for FGM survivors.”

Clitoral restorative surgery requires post-op therapy, Gary said.

"The touchless technology of the Womanizer vibrator will help our patients recover pleasurable sensations without irritating the clitoral tissue the way other vibrators tend to do after surgery,” she said. “And Michael Linke says he will modify the technology of his vibrator and adapt it to our patients' needs after getting their feedback."

Clitoraid is planning a humanitarian surgical mission to Kenya in May.

“Over 50 FGM patients are awaiting surgery there,” Gary said. “We hope to introduce Mr. Lenke’s post-op therapeutic device to those patients.”

LAS VEGAS, April 28 – To celebrate its annual Clitoris Awareness Month during May (which coincides with Masturbation Month*), the non-profit organization Clitoraid will launch a new campaign, MY BODY, MY CLITORIS.

“This campaign will invite women to revere their magnificent anatomy and transcend beyond millennia of sexual shame and guilt,” said Clitoraid Spokesperson Nadine Gary.

She explained that Clitoraid provides clitoral restoration surgery to victims of Female Genital Mutilation (FGM). The organization launched “Clitoris Awareness Month” 3 years ago to address the problem of culturally sanctioned FGM.

“FGM is more prevalent in some areas of the world than others, such as in West Africa, North Africa and the Middle East, but this horrific practice is a worldwide problem,” Gary said. “It’s time for all women to embrace their sexual self-esteem and uninhibited sexual expression!”

She said that as part of May’s planetary celebration, women are invited to -email- an anonymous, proud picture of their vulva and clitoris, regardless of age, race or sexual orientation.” The resulting collage will be part of a grand art project presented during Clitoraid’s free international online webinar, My Body My Clitoris, to be held on Saturday, May 7 from 7-8 p.m. (EST). Access is totally free of charge - click here for access).

“The webinar will feature an international panel of guests speakers, including Dr. Marci Bowers and Dr. Betty Dodson both experts in female sexuality,” Gary said. “We’re so pleased that they can share their expert knowledge concerning women’s sexual pleasure.” She added that sensual meditation advocates Florence Laudoyer and Shizue Kaneko “will share in the art of pleasuring oneself with hands and toys while accessing the nectar of one’s femininity.”

Gary explained that sensual meditation is a technique developed by spiritual leader Rael (rael.org), whose humanitarian vision paired with science inspired the creation of Clitoraid.

“He is the author of the book ‘Sensual Meditation,’” Gary said. “He wrote, and I quote, ‘The human being is linked by his or her receptors, the senses, to the infinite, which surrounds and composes him or her. By developing one’s sensuality, one develops one’s capacity to feel connected with the infinite, to feel infinite oneself.’”

* In May 1994, former Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders advocated teaching teenagers about masturbation as an alternative for those who were sexually active. Dr. Elders was fired by the Clinton administration for this innovative statement, but May has been deemed “Masturbation Month”.

Abi Sanon, Clitoraid leader in Africa, reports:

The International celebration around Zero Tolerance for FGM is also dedicated to pleasure and our discussion at the Kamkaso 'Pleasure' Hospital from 9 to 11h30 involved the men in our community, to invite them to voice their opinion on the subject and be more active in our fight against FGM.

A group of about 30 people, men and women alike, participated in the talk. We began with information about FGM, its definition, the different types of excision, where this barbaric tradition is practiced in the world, its consequences, the history of the construction of Kamkaso's medical facility.

Then, we discussed the surgery aiming to restore the clitoris and spoke about the NGO that supports this humanitarian endeavor: AFVE/Clitoraid and its activism. The delay in the opening of our hospital was also brought forth.
During the discussion we realized that the participants lacked information on these different subject and how important it was to bring them the correct information, and try to educate them better. We encouraged everyone to become more involved in the fight against FGM and to bring this awareness to their community. We were clear in our message that mutilating the genitals of little girls and women violates their right and their dignity. We added that it applied to the mutilation of little boys' penises during circumcision.

We ended our conversation by inviting everyone to actively promote the opening of the Pleasure Hospital for the happiness of the long list of patients who are patiently awaiting their clitoral restoration surgery.
