Add Flair to Your Finish: Fun Ways to Masturbate

Let’s be real for a moment. Jacking off can get boring. The same old routine becomes a chore instead of a pleasurable escape after a while.

But masturbation doesn't have to be limited to your dick/clit and your hand. The world of self-pleasure is expansive, dirty, and absolutely titillating. This article gives you the insider scoop and all the masturbation techniques to ignite your nerve endings. (Beyond just your dominant hand.) Let’s get stroking ;)

The Two Main Methods of Masturbation

The world of masturbation is vast and complex, but at its core, there are really just two main types of masturbation positions. They are as follows:

• Solo masturbation: Also referred to as solo sex, self-sexual pleasure, onanism, and more, solo masturbation is the act of stimulating your own genitals or erogenous zones for sexual pleasure. It is an act that is practiced alone.
• Mutual masturbation: Don’t confuse mutual masturbation with partnered sex. Mutual masturbation is its own exciting sexual experience. It happens when you and a partner masturbate in front of each other or you and a partner stimulate the other's genitals as one would when masturbating.

All the masturbation methods we’ll discuss below can be done during solo or mutual masturbation. So, without further ado, let’s lube up and get to masturbating!

9 Tips & Tricks to Add Fun to Your Masturbation

From female to male masturbation, these techniques are for everyone. Remember, if a tip doesn’t seem fun or exciting to you, just move on to the next. Not all forms of masturbation work well for everyone. The trick is to shop around until a method gets you going.

1. Invite a Toy to the Party

Sex toys are often the first place people turn when their solo play starts to get boring. Whether you already have toys or have never tried one, a new toy can spice up your masturbation and make it more fun.

Here are some popular toys that may be a wonderful addition to your routine:

• Dildo: These toys are ideal for men and women (depending on which parts of your body need attention) and can easily tease the G-spot and clitoris or act as the ideal prostate massager.
• Blowjob Simulator: Ever been in the mood for some sloppy top with no way to get it? With a blowjob simulator, you don’t need a partner to get insane head. These skin-like silicone sheaths are exactly what your sex life needs.
• Female Pocket Pussy: Also known as a Fleshlight, these toys take pleasure to the next level. They’re designed to look and feel exactly like the pussy of your favorite adult star. (Talk about an immersive experience.)

From vibrators designed for clitoral stimulation to a plain old shower head to a stimulating butt plug, your ideal sex toy can take lots of different forms. The key is to only use high-quality, body-safe toys and only purchase from suppliers who put your sexual health first.

2. Switch It Up

If you typically masturbate on your back, try lying on your front, going into doggy style, grinding on something, humping a pillow, etc. Just include lubrication if there’s a possibility of chafing, and give a new position a few tries before you decide to skip it.

Often, it takes a couple of sessions to really get the blood flow going. Try, try, try again until you’re cumming with confidence from your new position.

3. Edge the Night Away

Here’s the thing: the build-up can be half the fun when it comes to self-pleasure. Practice edging to build stamina and delay your pleasure; this will add to the grand finale when you finally let yourself release.

Try working your way to your most sensitive areas slowly and methodically. Start stroking your perineum, work on your testicles, and inch your way around your shaft. When you’re about to cum just pull back and start over. You’ll get an insane load at the end.

4. Replicate Your Porno

Everyone’s watched a titillating porno and thought, “Wouldn’t it be great to be there?” Well, it’s totally possible to use your toys to replicate what’s happening in your chosen porn.

A combination of a Pocket Pussy and a sex mount will help immerse you in the porno. It’ll be just like you’re really fucking your favorite adult star.

5. Try Another Hand

If you typically use your dominant hand, try switching to your non-dominant hand; this can sometimes simulate the feeling of someone else doing it for you (and strengthen your other hand).

Don’t worry if you can’t finish using your non-dominant hand. This takes practice and patience to get right. And for those ambidextrous people out there, don’t brag.

6. Don’t Just Focus on Genitals

Your body has many erogenous zones; try stimulating those to start or combine areas for intensified pleasure. This may include the ears, neck, lower stomach, or inner thighs.

Not everyone is sensitive in the same spots, so if you try this out with a partner, maybe discuss what they like first. The key is to be comfortable exploring but to start slow. The reward is a fantastic orgasm.

7. Relive the Moment

While watching or listening to porn online can help, it's also recommended to try recording yourself if that’s within your comfort level. It can be incredibly sensual to rewatch your solo or mutual pleasure sessions.

Just be extra careful and take all technology safety precautions. Here are some general tips:

1. Don’t save it to the Cloud.
2. Put it in a private folder protected with a password.
3. Don’t send it out to anyone (not even your partner).
4. Wipe it from your device afterward, including any ‘newly deleted’ folders.

Follow these precautions, and there’s no reason to worry.

8. Set the Scene

Setting a relaxing, erotic environment can be beneficial. It helps get you in the mood and can turn your thoughts toward sexier reflections. Lock your door, lower the lights, put on some music—whatever helps set the mood.

Some people dedicate whole rooms or levels of their homes to self-pleasure, so don’t feel weird setting the mood. It’s totally normal and can help you get off during your sessions.

9. Let Someone Else Take Control

Let your freak flag fly, and let your partner take control of your pleasure. Consider using a remote-controlled toy or a powerful hands-free sex mount to enhance the experience.

Just make sure this person knows your limits and listens for consent. Take some tips from the BDSM community and come up with a safe word. Any sex therapist will tell you that a safe word should be:

1. Agreed upon before the sex/masturbation session
2. Be memorable
3. Not take too long to say

This masturbation tip requires a lot of trust but can lead to a highly pleasurable mutual masturbation session.
