THE VIBRATOR
THE VIBRATOR
When we said never measured, never improved we meant it. Sexperiments are designed to help you find what does (and doesn't) influence your orgasms and arousal. Every month, Lioness users will come together to try and see if their orgasms data changes based on specific techniques, tools, and lifestyle changes.
In other words, we're inviting you to take part in spicy science projects for adults.
1. Join our community on the latest sexperiment
2. Set your hypothesis
3. Do "it" for science
4. Get AI-powered results on your data
Sexperiments will help Lioness users harness the power of their pleasure.
It’s been shown that novelty is an integral element of a fulfilling sex life — but the same benefit can be extended to masturbation. So if you really want to masturbate better, try something new!
By taking part in these experiments, Lioness users will learn what makes their orgasms feel better, how to explore their body, and to view masturbation as more than just a one-off session.
At the end of each Sexperiment, Lioness users will receive personalized data and analysis based on their hypothesis, session logs, and baseline data. They will also receive an exclusive badge that cannot be earned outside of each Sexperiment.
Anyone with a Lioness Smart Vibrator and a baseline session can participate — they just need to opt in using their Lioness app. From there, set a hypothesis,, tag your sessions and mark your orgasms to see how your arousal is influenced!
Absolutely not! The personalized data that you see at the end of each sexperiment is for your eyes only. If and when we share aggregate data, it is always anonymized.
Whether you’re a seasoned Lioness user or just not into group projects, participating in Sexperiments is optional. You can even opt out of Sexperiments if you change your mind after opting in.

New month, new Sexperiment!
For those of us in the northern hemisphere, December brings with it Winter Wonderland vibes and air of coziness. So what better month to set out in search of an answer to the question: how does mood setting impact orgasms and arousal?
At the start of December, each Sexplorer was prompted to formulate a hypothesis and vote in a poll before beginning their Sexperiment. Our questions (as always) were simple and straightforward.
Based on poll responses, setting the mood before masturbating isn’t a very popular ritual amongst Lioness users! That’s not to say they’re not doing it all, though.
While only 13% of Sexplorers said they set the mood often and 47% said they do it sometimes, a whopping 40% shared they never engage in mood setting.
Lioness users were given the same three choices for this hypothesis they’re given every month: Get Better, Stay the Same, or Get Worse.
And you know what? Not a single one said they believed mood setting would make their arousal and orgasms worse!
On average, Lioness users rated their orgasms at a near perfect 4 out of 5 stars, and there was a general increase in peak orgasmic force with a slight decline in orgasm duration:
Our mood setting before masturbation Sexperiment also gave the following results:
Look, we may just have to start using “stopping and smelling the roses” as a euphemism for masturbation at this point because the data is pretty clear. Slowing down and making time to really set the mood for your solo play appears to be worth a shot if you’re looking for deeper orgasms, longer sessions, and an overall better experience.
Throughout the course of human history, we’ve really stumbled upon some great practices with incredible benefits. One of those practices ismindfulness — the art of being present, fully aware of the moment we’re in, and observing or taking part without judgement.
For many people, mindfulness is a part of their spiritual or meditative practices, and for others it is a tool in their toolbox combattinganxiety.
For the next few minutes, however, it’s going to be a part of our solo play exploration. Here’s everything you need to know about mindfulmasturbation:
Mindfulmasturbation is a practice that involves being fully present and aware of the sexual experience we’re having with ourselves. It involves making intentional choices, remaining aware of the way our body is or isn’t responding to self-pleasure, and truly witnessing the depths/heights of pleasure as they occur.
Generally speaking, mindful masturbation is not guided, though using a guided audio track can help learn the skill.
Yes! Mindful masturbation comes with a whole host of benefits:
Whether you’re looking for increased self-awareness,better orgasms, or an enhanced soloplay experience, here’s how to try mindful masturbation:
Setting the mood for masturbation is a great way to get yourself in the right head space for mindful masturbation. Create an atmosphere that feels sensual, self-love focused, and conducive to paying attention to your own body.
Before you start touching yourself sexually, it’s important to make sure you’re fully present. Lying down and taking a fewdeep breaths while you bring your awareness to your body as it is can help make mindful masturbation more accessible.
Begin by touching yourself in ways that feel good, especially if they turn you on. Linger onsensations that bring you pleasure without speeding things up or progressing to more. Simply note what feels good and keep doing that until it doesn’t or you want to move on to more/other sensations.
Don’tedge yourself orstop your orgasms, but don’t focus on having one either. Mindful masturbation requires us to surrender to the experience of soloplay as it happens, not as we want it to happen. Enjoy your pleasure and don’t worry about when, if, or how an ending will occur.
If you happen to orgasm while mindfully masturbating, really let yourself be aware of the experience. Observe how it feels in your body, where your mind goes, etc, and do the same once theorgasm is done. Stay in your body and usher yourself out of the your solo session slowly and intentionally.
Learning how to masturbate mindfully can no doubt bring the benefits we already discussed (as well as a few others!). It’s a great way to delve into your soloplay and get every single moment of pleasure out of it.
Mindful masturbation can also make it easier toexperiment and explore if and when the mood to try something new strikes. Being present while we give something new a try allows us to note what’s working, what’s not, and compare it to our typical experiences.
Mind your masturbation and improve your pleasure with.
"Baby lock the door and turn the lights down low"….for yourself! Sure, partnered sex and romance are great, but when was the last time you considered doing it for yourself?
Creating an ambiance for your solo sex can elevate your experience, increase arousal, and maybe even lead to better orgasms. Here’s how to do it:
Chances are you masturbate in a lot of the same places; your bedroom, your shower, your living room when no one else is home (yeah, you’re not the only one who does that!). And the more you frequent these regular spots, the more they can fade into the background and become less of a sensual environment and more of just a routine.
In the same vein, maybe you avoid some of these places because you can only see them for what they are: a place where your laundry needs to get picked up, a place where people use the toilet and brush their teeth, or the room where everyone in the house leaves all their crap out in a perpetual mess (we see you, moms).
Regardless of how you’re currently feeling about these spaces, transforming them from lived-in environments to solo sex sanctuaries can go a long way for setting the mood. Each of the following can heighten your masturbation experience:
Music is often considered a go-to mood-setter — and with good reason! What other element helps set the mood for movies, tv, and date nights better?
When it comes to setting the mood for masturbating, consider curating a Pleasure Playlist. Whether you’re solo sex vibe is sultry, playful, or reflective, pick songs that make you feel good and feel yourself.
If music is too distracting, sound can still be a mood setter for you! Consider using nature sounds, instrumental tracks, or guided sexual visualizations to create an atmosphere that works for you.
Being able to dim the lights, light a candle, and throw on a playlist before jumping right into masturbation can feel difficult if you’re particularly busy or stressed. So if you’ve ever gone to touch yourself and found it impossible to get fully into it or reach the big O, this tip is going to really take you far.
Before you masturbate, spend some time doing something relaxing and restorative. If you like to read, read. If you like to meditate, do that. If you want to just sit and eat a snack while you listen to the soothing sound of silence in a warm bath, soak for as long as you need! (A nice long bath is actually Lioness co-founder Anna’s top advice for relaxing before you masturbate!)
Reducing stress before spending time masturbating is never a bad idea and can only work in your favor.
No one ever said romance, foreplay, and creating a sensual atmosphere have to be for partnered sex. By taking the time to set the mood for yourself, you’re creating an environment with the potential to lead to more sexual satisfaction, better orgasms, and a deeper connection to your sexual self.
And if you’ve got a Lioness Smart Vibrator already, you can see the fruits of your labors when you join December 2024’s Sexperiment. All month long, we’ll be setting the mood for ourselves to ultimately find out how it improves our pleasure.
Take the guesswork out of self-care and pleasure.
With the Lioness Smart Vibrator, you can see how your mood-setting rituals impact your pleasure over time.
Track your orgasms and elevate your solo sex to new heights.

In the spirit of all things spooky, Lioness users spent the month of October experimenting with pleasures they couldn’t see.
Here’s what the data says about blindfolds and orgasms:
For the first time ever, we had a tie! With only 14% of users reporting they never masturbate with their eyes open, the remaining 86% was equally divided between "Often” and "Sometimes.”
Lioness users were given the same three choices for this hypothesis as they always are: Get Better, Stay the Same, or Get Worse.
Here’s how they voted, with 55% of users predicting their O’s would Stay the Same:
Fun Fact: 5 out of the 7 sexperiments we’ve done so far have seen an overwhelming majority of folks hypothesizing their arousal won’t change. CBD and Edging have been the only experiments thus far where users thought their orgasms would improve. But in all seven experiments, data showed some element of improvement for arousal and orgasm — whether it was orgasm length, peak force, or star rating.
Lioness sessions tagged as "blindfolded” yielded some interesting results! Here’s what we found:
In a surprising turn of events for over half of Lioness Sexperimenters, blindfolds definitely improved orgasms and arousal from a data perspective. More time spent masturbating and stronger force during orgasm are just two indicators that perhaps there’s merit in covering your eyes during masturbation and sex.
Each month, Lioness users who participate in Sexperiments get access to full global data results AND their own personalized insights from their own sessions.
