Solo play is fun, and exciting has real health benefits and allows you to get in touch with your body, understanding what you like and don’t like in private. After years of doing the same masturbation you’ve always done, it can get a little old. As tried-and-true as it is, satisfying masturbation can sometimes take a little effort.
There is no recommended amount of masturbation for any person. If you’re frequently masturbating, though, and the orgasms aren’t quite what they used to be, back off for a few days. This is common for people who masturbate several times a day. The sensitivity wears down, and it almost becomes strict. So do, allow your genitals some time to regain their sensitivity. After a few days, you should feel pleasantly revitalized and ready to masturbate again.
Fortunately, there’s a lot you can do to improve what you get from solo play. Here are some things to think about on how to masturbate better.
Try a New Sex Toy for Solo Play
If you’ve never masturbated with a sex toy, you are missing out! For every person, we guarantee there’s a sex toy out there for them waiting to join in on the fun.
A sex toy store has many goodies. From vibrators of all types to dildos, anal toys, nipple clamps, and more, find a sex toy you can experiment with. Whether you’re gay, straight, bisexual, pansexual, queer, or questioning, sex toys play a huge role in intense orgasm masturbation.
Exercise When You Don’t Masturbate
Exercising in your off-time and staying healthy stimulates blood flow, builds confidence, and generally allows a person to feel more relaxed during sex. If your orgasms have been uninspired as of late and you don’t frequently exercise, you may notice a major difference after you’ve spent 4-6 weeks going to the gym at least a few times a week.
Be Accepting Of Your Body
If you have a bad relationship with your body, even masturbating can be an uncomfortable experience. We all have hang-ups about our appearance but accept the important part. Don’t dwell on it.
Focus on the parts of you that you do like. Focus on pleasure which each one of us is deserving of. A positive body image is tougher said than done but can be worked on slowly.
Take Your Time and Set Your Mood
Sometimes, you just have to pull a quickie to relieve stress, but if you want to masturbate better, take your time with it. Set aside a half-hour.
Turn the lights down, stay relaxed, and be present. Don’t rush to the orgasm. Slowly arouse yourself and ride it out before you bring things to their natural conclusion.
Try Edging, AKA Orgasm Control
Masturbation should not be ‘start, orgasm, and done.’ Edging draws out the pleasure and gives you more of an experience. It’s essentially orgasm control, pulling back right before your orgasm and possibly doing this two, three, four times or more.
The result in most people is that when they do finally achieve their orgasm, it’s often all the more explosive and enjoyable.
Masturbate with a Different Hand
Forego your usual masturbation technique and experiment by going with the other hand, following a different touch pattern, and using two hands instead of one.
Like sex, masturbation can get slightly stale if you repeatedly use the same technique. There is lots of pleasure out there.
Look at New Forms of Sexual Pleasure
Look at different sexual kinks, lifestyles, and pleasures. From BDSM to specific sex acts, to hair colours, to different types of porn or erotica, there are lots to look at.
You probably won’t connect with a lot of it, but you will some of it you might, and then you may discover a whole new sexual appetite in you ready to satisfy.
You Don’t Have to Stick to the Same Position
Switch up your positions. If you lie down on your back, move to your stomach or stand up. Try masturbating against the wall or on all fours. Different positions usually equate to different sensations.
Be open to switching things up and see what works. You may prefer your original position the most, and that’s okay.
Incorporate Anal Play Into Your Masturbation
You may not be hyped about anal play. Some people just aren’t into it. But if you’re okay experimenting with anal play, know that butts are packed with nerve endings.
Stimulating those with a dildo, massager, anal beads, or similar anal sex toy can help make your masturbation all the more fun. Also, because it’s solo, no one needs to know. If it’s not your thing, that’s okay, too.
Engage in a Little Foreplay Beyond the Genitals
Your genitals are there, and you need them to masturbate, but what about the rest of you? This is another area where sex toys can come into play.
There are erogenous zones all over the body. Nipples. Arms. Legs. Neck. Start here. Stimulate those nerve endings and discover what arouses you at the moment.
