Masturbating is a normal human experience, but many women feel embarrassed talking about or admitting that they do it.
We are here to let you know that there is nothing shameful about masturbating and give you some tips on going about it. Having healthy conversations about masturbation normalizes it and makes people more comfortable with doing it.
Benefits of masturbation
Masturbating has many benefits for instance, stress relief, insomnia relief and even boosts your immune system and self-confidence. Our favorite thing about masturbating is that it allows people to be self-reliant when it comes to their own pleasure. It is also a safe way to battle your natural urges.
Getting in the mood
It is important that you are in the right state of mind to self-gratify. First, you must free yourself from guilty thoughts and realize that you are partaking in a special, intimate and natural exercise. Then, you need to get yourself a little hot and bothered. Some people use their imagination, others watch adult films, read erotic literature and even use audio adult content. Figure out what gets you in the mood and let go.
The old-fashioned way
When using your hands, you must wash thoroughly and cut your nails so as to avoid infections. Then, establish what works best for you, clitoral stimulation or penetration. Clitoral stimulation involves rubbing the clitoris, try using a circular motion for the best effects but remember, everyone has what works for them. It is also best to be moist when doing this. If you can’t achieve this naturally, use a lubricant made for this purpose. If you prefer penetration, simply insert your fingers into your vagina and use an ‘in, out’ motion or whatever feels best. Remember that climaxing is not always the goal, you can still make yourself feel good even if you don’t ‘finish’.
Using toys
There are tons of sex toys on the market for instance, vibrators. These are great for women who enjoy clitoral stimulation, all you have to do is place it on the clitoris and play with the settings, feel free to tease yourself with lower settings and then kick things up a notch as you progress.
For ladies who enjoy penetration, dildos come in an array of sizes- they mimic a penis and are used by means of the ‘in, out’ motion with your arm. Some of them even retract and assert automatically!
The last recommendation is for the girls who like both penetration and clitoral stimulation and it is a vibrating dildo, with a clitoral stimulator. It is designed to satisfy both these parts. All you need to do is figure out what kind of motion works best for you. Both the toys and your hands must also be washed well before use.
Make sure to explore your whole body as you masturbate or get in the mood, remind yourself that you are sexy and show yourself some love. We hope these tips come in handy and that you now have a new perspective on self-gratification.
