3 Pro-tips from Lioness Sex Educator, Kate Delgado
Calling all jack and jill-offs! Masturbation May is upon us, which means it’s time to step your bean flicking game up!
Grab your favorite lube, your porn or erotica of choice, and get ready to kick your solo play up a notch with these 3 tips on how to masturbate better. And don’t worry: we’re not getting into anatomy specific techniques, just a few general things you can try this month as you celebrate self pleasure!
Masturbate better with solo-foreplay
Foreplay is simply everything that happens before sex and masturbation, so don’t reserve all the sexy build up just for partnered sex.
Self-tease and sexual priming for solo play does not require another partner (though it can if they’re into it). The idea is to spend some time making yourself feel sexy and hot in your own skin.
The best part? Simple things can go a long way! Try eating your favorite meal in an outfit that makes you feel sexy or taking nudes and don’t send them to anyone and see what happens after. Anything you can do before your alone time that relaxes you, gets you in the mood, and builds anticipation is likely to make your masturbation better.
Introduce a little novelty into the mix
It’s been scientifically proven that novelty is an integral element of a fulfilling sex life — especially for women — but the same benefit can be extended to masturbation.
So if you really want to masturbate better, try something new!
Take stock of what your masturbation routine already looks like. Do you do it in your bed at the same time everyday with the same lube, the same lighting, and the same fantasy? If so, switch it up!
Small changes in your sessions may help you masturbate better simply because you’re adding a little excitement into the mix. Live alone? Try masturbating in a different room. Have a toy that works all the time? Put it down and go “acoustic.”
Just remember, if it doesn’t work the first time that’s normal and it may be worth trying something new a few times before you write it off.
Practice makes masturbation better
I’m not going to tell you that practicing masturbation will make it perfect. But I am going to tell you practicing will make masturbation better.
The trick here, however, is to view your solo play as more than a get in, get off, get out type of deal.
Instead, you’ll want to spend time exploring and sexperimenting with your body and pleasure again and again. Tips 1 and 2 are great but only if you do them more than once, and really reflect on your experience.
Make masturbation great again this May
Dedicating the month of May to these three tips is a great way to celebrate self-pleasure!
Don’t be afraid to treat your solo-play like you would partnered sex and build anticipation. It’s totally okay to practice finding a fully charged toy waiting for you at home as exciting as a horny partner or two. When you’ve built anticipation, give something new a try a few times and see what happens. If you can do these things over and over again, well…you might make masturbation better.
