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.
New month, new Sexperiment!
If February is the month of love, then what better time is there to give mutual masturbation a try? Here’s what 28 days of masturbating together taught us:
At the start of February, each Sexplorer was prompted to formulate a hypothesis and vote in a poll before beginning their Sexperiment.
If this isn’t your first Sexperiments data drop, then you know the drill. Before flicking the bean with their partner(s), each Lioness user let us know how often (or not) they’re mutually masturbating:
Surprisingly, over a quarter of participants said Never, while the remaining percentage chose often or sometimes.
Lioness users were given three choices for this hypothesis: Get Better, Stay the Same, or Get Worse.
Here’s how they voted, with 68% hypothesizing that their O’s would Get Better, and only 7% worried they’d get worse:
Two heads are better than one has never been more true! On average, Lioness users who masturbated with a partner saw an average peak force of 86 gF during orgasm compared to 62 gF during baseline sessions. Here’s what else they found:
The average time to orgasm increased to 10 min 45 secs minutes (compared to 4 min 59 secs in solo sessions)
Overall average session length increased to 20 min 51 seconds (compared to 7 min 56 secs in sessions without socks)
If you’re looking for better, stronger, and longer Os, mutual masturbation is worth a try. But if partnered playtime isn’t you’re thing, that’s okay! In fact, we’re already in the swing of a new Sexperiment to find how alcohol affects our orgasms. Grab your Lioness and join Sexperiments today!
If you aren’t living a sober lifestyle, it’s very likely you have some assumption, presumption, or anecdote about sex and alcohol. But what about alcohol and masturbation?
For some, a glass of wine is a sure fire way to set the mood, while others find merit in phrases like “whiskey dick.” So which is it? Does alcohol enhance self-pleasure, or does it hinder it?
Before you find out for yourself, let’s explore both the potential upsides and downsides of consuming alcohol in moderation to see what happens when you masturbate.
For some, a little alcohol can help set the stage for arousal and masturbation by reducing inhibitions. Here’s how:
A Perceived Lowering of Anxiety: Alcohol, at its core, is a depressant that slows down the central nervous system, which some find eases their anxiety and feelings of self-consciousness. This can make it easier to get in the mood and fully enjoy solo play.
Increased Dopamine:Alcohol is considered psychoactive and drinking it releases dopamine, the brain’s pleasure chemical, which can heighten anticipation and enhance feelings of sexual pleasure.
Increased Blood Flow: In moderate amounts, alcohol can cause vasodilation (widening of blood vessels), which may contribute to increased genital sensitivity and arousal.
But alcohol isn’t always what it’s hopped up to be (pun intended). Whether it’s consumed en masse or just not your thing, the negative effects of alcohol can really be a buzz kill:
Decreased Physical Sensation: Alcohol is a numbing agent both physically and mentally. Too much can reduce sensitivity, making orgasm more difficult to achieve and arousal harder to hold on to.
Erectile Dysfunction & Vaginal Dryness: Regardless of your anatomy, alcohol can impair blood flow, leading to difficulties with getting wet or staying hard.
Delayed or Inhibited Orgasm: Some people find that alcohol makes it harder to climax, as it dulls nerve responses and slows bodily reactions.
Sleepiness & Distraction: Instead of setting the mood, alcohol can also lead to drowsiness or difficulty focusing, which can take you out of the moment.
Pleasure and alcohol can be such a fickle duo, and there’s truly no one-size-fits-all experience for those who choose to drink it. So what better reason to grab your Lioness Smart Vibrator, have a drink, and see what happens?
Cheers!
Sounds like you're long overdue for better orgasms then!

Practicing mindfulness is said to decrease anxiety, increase joy, and help us live in the moment. So what happens when you add mindfulness to your masturbation?
Here’s what the Lioness community found out during their mindful masturbation sexperiment:
To kick this Sexperiment off, each participant was asked if they practice mindful masturbation. They were then asked to hypothesize how giving it a try would affect their orgasms.
Based on poll responses, mindful masturbation isn’t a very popular ritual amongst Lioness users! That’s not to say they’re not doing it all, though.
While only 6% of participants mindfully masturbate often, 36% of participants said they do it sometimes. For a whopping 58%, this sexperiment was a completely new experience!
Lioness users were given the same three choices for this hypothesis they’re given every month: Get Better, Stay the Same, or Get Worse.
Here’s how they voted:
So how close was that 79% to being right (and having better orgasms)?
Perhaps the most notable) data point from this sexperiment was the significant increase observed in multiple orgasms. Whereas only 7.9% of baseline sessions showed multiple O’s, 21.3% of mindful sessions showed the same. That’s a 13.4% increase!
Here’s a quick recap of a few other results:
Average orgasm lengthdecreased during mindful sessions by 6 seconds, but the average peak force increased by 9 gF.
Session rating average 3.9 stars
Overall average session length increased from 7 mins 43 secs to 9 mins 59 secs
For Lioness users, mindful masturbation was a labor of love and better orgasms.
Given the increase in session length, multiple orgasms, and force, it’s safe to say better Os were had when masturbation was happening intentionally and in the present moment.
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.
