Masturbation as a part of your daily or weekly routine has a lot of merit. Reliable solo pleasure in a comfortable place can be good for your mental and sexual health, your sleep hygiene, etc.
But there’s also something to be said for shaking it up and introducing a little novelty in the mix. In fact, novelty (especially for women and people with vaginas) is scientifically proven to improve pleasure, arousal, and orgasm.
So before you pull out your Lioness Smart Vibrator for a little play time in your bedroom again take a look around your home and consider trying somewhere new.
What’s the point of masturbating somewhere new?
If you’re wondering why should I masturbate somewhere different, perhaps the better question is, “why not?” But there’s actually a science backed answer to the initial question.
As humans, we suffer from a phenomenon known as "habituation to stimulus.” This is just a fancy way to say that as we have increased exposure to certain things, we get used to them and they stop impacting us the same.
For masturbation, this means that the same bed, the same pillow, and the same spot on the ceiling you lock eyes with as your orgasm naturally lose their pizazz over time.
Fortunately, changing locations is an easy, accessible, and effective way to make flicking the bean feel exciting again.
5 Places to masturbate in your home
If you haven’t looked around your home and thought, “I should try masturbating there,” this one’s for you. Just remember, each location comes with its own necessary precautions!
Masturbate in the shower or bath
Grab a waterproof toy (like the Lioness Smart Vibrator) and hit the showers the next time you masturbate! If you really want to make it fun, play with the water temperature or your positioning to find what really works for you. Just remember, if you’re going to use a toy in a bath tub full of water, make sure it’s water proof, not just water resistant.
Masturbate in your living room
Living rooms are generally open spaces that promote relaxation, hobbies, and connection. So what better place to have a little solo-play if the opportunity presents itself?
If you live in a shared home, this may be tricky so plan accordingly. Opt for the floor to avoid the couch if the space is shared, and prepare for bodily fluids by lying a blanket down first.
Masturbate in your closet
Sure, it might be small and dark but it’s also super private and definitely not your bedroom. Not much else to say on that, just trust us and give it a try!
Pro Tip: This one can be extra fun if you have any type of power dynamic in your relationship! Have a bratty sub that needs a funishment? Make them give themselves an orgasm in the closet before they get anything else from you. If you’re on the other side of the door, you get to listen in and if you’re not, they get the added fun of leaving proof behind for you.
Masturbate in the backyard
Obviously, this one needs to be explored with caution. If you have neighbors that can see or hear you, it’s probably not the best option. If you have privacy, however, masturbating outside can be extremely exciting! There’s something to be said about fresh air and a little sunshine on your bare skin.
Masturbate in the car
Another location that requires a lot of discretion, masturbating in the car is just taboo enough that it can really spice things up in a surprisingly hot way. Take precaution to avoid heat exhaustion for yourself in the vehicle, and not violating anyone’s consent outside the vehicle before you give it a try though. This location is best explored somewhere private where you can have the vehicle running or the windows open.
Masturbate somewhere new and see what happens
Whether you’re bored of the bed or just looking to see what happens when you touch yourself somewhere new, masturbating somewhere other than your bedroom is a great way to explore and enhance your arousal. Will it lead to a better, stronger, or longer orgasm? Well…the only way to find out for sure is to make sure you take your Lioness Smart Vibrator with you on your journey through your home!
