Let’s tell ourselves the truth; there is no better way to enjoy our body than a solo-session from time to time.
Masturbation is an act of self-pleasure and is considered to be one of the best ways to help the body relax and release accumulated stress. Masturbation, jerking off, wanking are just some other terms to describe masturbation.
Still, whatever you call it, male masturbation is a sex act that involves the stimulation of your own body and erogenous zones until you get sexually aroused and reach orgasm. It doesn’t just help with pleasuring yourself, but it can spice your sex life up as well.
Regardless of whether you are a first-timer or a regular player when it comes to these solo-sessions, it doesn’t hurt to learn a few new tips and tricks for a better orgasm. Everyone can benefit from masturbation tips, and it’s not something you expect to learn in a classroom.
You may have believed that masturbating with a penis is pretty easy and doesn’t require a detailed guide. However, that is giving very little credit to the art of masturbation and the numerous pathways you can explore.
However, there are steps you can take to show yourself a little more love, which can blow your mind. There might be ideas you want to explore, and others you might figure you don’t need it – the choice is all yours.
Health Benefits
Before we dive into all the fun, let’s talk about why masturbation is essential to your health.
- It benefits your immune system
- Helps you release stress and tension
- Masturbation plays a vital role in fighting depression
- It helps relieve sexual tension without you having to go through anxiety performance
- It may help decrease the risk of prostate cancer, and keeps you in good health
According to Planned Parenthood, masturbation can help you improve your body image and make you sleep better. As a bonus, you don’t have to worry about contracting STIs or involving in any risk associated with partnered sex.
Although this might not be seen as a defined benefit, masturbation helps you figure out what you love sexually and what you are or aren’t comfortable with. So that way, when you are ready to have partnered sex, you can communicate better with your partner on your preference.
Get in the Mood
Firstly, you need to find a spot where you can get comfortable without being distracted.
Whether it’s your washroom, or bedroom, anywhere at all, get relaxed, turn down the lights and fill the atmosphere with your favorite music. Make a pick from erotic videos to get yourself deeper into the mood.
Find your Rhythm
Be creative with your hand, and find the rhythm you are comfortable with, one which gives you immense pleasure. However, you should know that finding the right rhythm takes patience and consistency.
Certain people would instead opt for slow strokes than rapid strokes, while others enjoy a bit of both. There is little limit to what you can do with your hands, but if you are in doubt, keep stroking until you achieve orgasm. That way, you should be able to decide what works best for you.
But if you already have a routine, why not explore your body a bit and try out something new.
However, you aren’t restricted to stroking just your penis; explore different parts of your body as well, and find what works for you. Allow different sensations to occur from stroking your arms, chest, or just even breathing and feeling sexy. Pay close attention to what’s happening in your whole body.
Be spontaneous
Masturbation isn’t just about having a particular routine; you should practice regularly. With time, you might realize that a specific stroke you loved at a time gives room for something more exciting. And that’s normal.
Enjoy bits of variety when masturbating; try new things to keep your solo-sessions all spiced up. Masturbation, however, isn’t something you should do quickly in a dark corner; there is nothing to be ashamed of.
Change Position
If you regularly masturbate standing up, then it’s time to make a change. Try doing it while sitting on a chair, keeling, or any other comfortable position you can think of. Masturbating in a particular position all the time makes it boring and takes the fun away.
The lube is your pal
The movement of your hand without any lube for a long time makes masturbation uneasy and uncomfortable for you. Note that it can lead to your penis being less sensitive, and leave “rug burn.” Using a lube is very important for any sexual intercourse, most especially solo-sessions.
Most men would opt for using a lotion as the first option, but remember that lotion isn’t the same as lube. We understand that it’s effortless and convenient to use a lotion, as it can be found almost anywhere in the house, but it isn’t advisable for masturbation.
Your penis is a sensitive part of your body, and certain ingredients in a lotion might cause irritation – and this might hurt.
There are so many online stores where you can buy a lube, and if you want to, it’s best to buy a water-based, non-fragrance lube. Most times lubes that have flavoring cause itching.
However, if you don’t have access to get a lube, few household options can do the trick. Coconut oil or even aloe vera would be perfect, but be sure it isn’t diluted at all.
Pay attention to your balls
Why not show a bit of interest in your balls? You should explore your body more, don’t neglect your balls because they are packed with many nerve endings which makes it sensitive.
Use one hand to rub gently, while your other hand strokes your penis with a consistent rhythm. If you wish, you can stop stroking and focus solely on the balls. The amount of tension you exert on your balls would be dependent on your preference, so, keep experimenting until you find what’s best for you.
Try out the edging method
If you want your solo-session to last longer, incorporate the start and stop method, also known as edging. This method involves you stroking your penis right up till when you are on the edge of having an orgasm, and then you stop entirely.
Slowly pick up the pace again, and increase the speed until you are ready to finish, and then stop again. You can repeat this process as much as you’d want to and experience a more powerful orgasm when you finally finish.
Indulge in prostate stimulation
Masturbation shouldn’t just be about your penis; prostate stimulation should be considered too. Your prostate is a gland found inside your anus, that when stimulated, can give you a great feeling.
You can make use of lube and try with your fingers or opt for a tiny butt plug if that’s preferable, and insert it slowly into your anus. Make sure to go slow and relax your anus before any penetration.
However, stimulating yourself anally and caressing your penis, may prove a bit difficult as you need to focus more on one than the other.
But if you still aren’t okay with trying out prostate stimulation, it’s perfectly okay. Everyone has their preference about masturbation, and what is enjoyable for some might not be for others. So, deciding what to explore and what to abandon is your call.
Bring toys into the game
You can take your masturbation to a new level when you bring in your toys to the fun. You can go for a traditional vibrator and use it to massage your shaft or balls to give you a new sensation.
Better still, you can opt for a masturbation sleeve, but be sure to use a water-based lube with any of these toys. If you are also interested in prostate stimulation, there are specific toys that you can use for this purpose.
Always keep in mind that masturbation is also a form of healthy personal-care
Optimistically, you have a community that could care less about if you masturbate or not, but that isn’t the same for everyone. We are in a world where there is a lot of compulsion on people to behave in a patterned way, without giving adequate information on the importance of sexual activeness in one’s life.
Masturbation however, is considered healthy, and you should not be embarrassed for wanting to indulge in it. It is an easy way to understand your body and figure out what you like.
Conclusion
Sadly there is a lot of rumor and stigma associated with masturbating, and there are also some harmful myths as well. Certain people believe that masturbating can make you go blind, cause loss of strength or stamina, but these myths are, however, completely untrue.
Fortunately, in these recent years, health professionals have come out to debunk all these myths and now accept that masturbation is perfectly healthy and normal.
There is nothing harmful in masturbating, and if you are new to it, then it’s okay. Remember that there is no right or wrong way to masturbate. Experiment with toys and different techniques, do whatever you need to feel relaxed and enjoy every bit of exploring yourself.
