It’s no secret that male masturbation is one of the best ways to achieve an orgasm – but what goes into making the most out of it? I’ll tell you what works best for me.
Firstly, I feel it’s important to set the mood. I’ve found that listening to calming music, burning scented candles, or taking the time to meditate beforehand helps me to really get into the zone and enjoy my session. Of course, everybody’s different – what relaxes me may not be what relaxes someone else.
I like to focus on the moment, really taking each sensation in. I move my body in ways that feel pleasurable, starting out slow and then ultimately building up the rhythm and intensity. I’m constantly checking in with myself to make sure I’m going at the perfect pace – not too fast, not too slow.
I use visual aids too – either a fantasy I’ve acting out in my head, or downloading sexy videos/images on my phone. Constantly changing up the visual stimulus helps to keep my arousal at a level where I can really enjoy what I’m doing.
Focusing on my breath helps too. My favourite breathing technique right now is to shorten my exhales and hold my breath for a few seconds before releasing it. Doing this can help to build enough intensity for me to reach my peak.
Additionally, I switch up the pressure often and rely heavily on lube. Having a slick experience helps the over all sensation to really hit the spot and keeps me from getting too sore.
I’ve found that sometimes it’s good to add a bit of spice. I might add a vibrator or lay on a flat surface so I can get a really good grind going. I often combine the feeling of my hand with a well lubricated sex dolls toy to get the most out of my orgasm.
I never forget the power of positive thinking too. Instead of letting negative thoughts creep in, I focus on the pleasure, turning everything negative into a motivator. It’s amazing how simply flipping your perspective can take things from a watching-paint-dry situation to absolute novelty.
Also, I’m not ashamed to ask for help when I need it. Some days my mind plays tricks on me and keeps me from staying consistent with pleasure, but when I have someone helping me out, it becomes a hundred times easier to stay focused.
Finally, I finish off with a bit of visualization. I like to imagine the orgasmic energy radiating out of me, travelling further and further from my body and into the universe. This helps me to become fully immersed in the experience and makes taking in all the pleasurable sensations way easier.
In summary, the key to great masturbation for me has really been to stay openminded and just keep experimenting. I’ve found that exploring different sensations and visual aids is the key to great solo sessions, as well as asking for help from others when I need it and taking the time to positive affirmations afterwards.
But it doesn’t just end with self care, good communication is essential too. When it comes to consensual, enjoyable sex, honesty and understanding go a long way – you’ve got to be willing to talk about what feels good and what doesn’t work for you. That way you’ll make sure to get the most out of every experience.
I also think it’s important to remember that sex doesn’t have to be strictly physical––sometimes playing with your mind can be just as arousing and pleasurable. Watching a sexy movie, engaging in a steamy phone conversation, Penis Rings or simply talking dirty can be a great way to weed out fantasy from reality and truly open yourself up to the experience.
Speaking of fantasy, experimenting with the idea of domination and submission has become a new favorite past time for me. I’ve found that when I’m in control, I’m typically able to reach my highest peaks, and when I relinquish control, I’m often surprised to find a new level of pleasure hiding just beneath the surface.
Finally, and perhaps most importantly, accepting and loving yourself as you are is critical. Self-love can take a variety of forms and while masturbation is just one of them, it’s certainly the most intimate. So go on, spoil yourself and enjoy the ride.
