Carole Radziwill Shares How Masturbation "Saved" Her

Carole Radziwill has nothing to hide. The Real Housewives of New York City pal didn't shy away from discussing even her most intimate habits when gabbing with Us Weekly at a recent event for Evine After Dark. 

On the topic of masturbation, the What Remains author said: "[It's] a way to understand what your body needs and wants, and also do it in a way that is healthy, that it saves you. At least it saved me from having multiple partners when I was a young teenager and in my 20s." 

She added: "I never felt the need to, what they call now, hookup, because I just felt like if I wanted to explore my sexuality, I was OK to do it on my own or with a vibrator. And at that time, this is the 80s, vibrators weren’t what they are today. It never felt shameful to me, I felt like it was more empowering. I know that word has been used a lot and thrown around a lot lately, but in that way that I just felt like I’m not going to be ashamed about my sexuality."

The New Yorker also gave an update on where things stand with her ex-boyfriend Adam Kenworthy. "We love each other, and he’s kind of like family,” she said. “We were together much longer than I think either of us thought, but he’s a terrific guy and we had a great relationship, and still do.”

So, is Carole looking for love at the moment? Meh. "Maybe this is because I grew out of what I call self-satisfying, I don’t eagerly jump from one boyfriend to another,” she said. “But sure, if I met someone, I can’t say I’m out there on dating apps swiping right and left. I’m not doing that, but of course, I’d love to meet a great guy."
