Self-pleasure cannot only be incredibly liberating. but it's also an integral part of your self-care routine. After all, masturbating offers a host of physical, mental, and emotional benefits – from improving your sex life to helping you get a better night’s sleep.
But, for too long now, masturbation has been something of a taboo topic. Everyone’s doing it, but no one wants to admit it or talk about it. We think that needs to change. We should all feel confident enjoying our own bodies. Masturbation is totally natural and certainly not something to be ashamed of!
Want to master masturbation? We’ve got you covered! Here are our top masturbation tips that will literally blow your mind.
Getting in the mood for some self-pleasure
Just like sex with a partner, you need to get yourself in the mood for a satisfying solo session.
So, create a calm environment where you can switch off from the world and focus on yourself. Find a space that is comfortable and private so that you can truly relax. Many people find that lighting their favourite candle or putting on their favourite playlist can to help relax the mind and body.
And, before you dive right in, you should focus on feeling yourself sensually. Caressing your breasts, bum, belly and inner thighs will really help to get you in the mood!
Oh, and remember to lube up! Lubricants make everything feel a lot better down there and can significantly increase satisfaction and pleasure. Simply, use a drop to start and reapply when needed. There are lots of different types of lubes available and it’s important that you find one that works for you.
How to play with yourself
There are no set rules for playing with yourself, it's all about trying different techniques to see what feels good. Remember, there is actually no right or wrong way to masturbate!
If you’re not sure what you like, start light. For those with a vagina, make circular motions around the clitoris, varying the speed and pressure until your find what feels good. Then, try other movements, such as running your fingers along your inner labia, down towards the entrance to the vagina.
And don’t leave the rest of your body out – you’ve got two hands after all! Touching other areas of the body, such as the nipples, at the same time can help you orgasm and make the experience even more enjoyable.

Can you masturbate too much?
The good news is, masturbation isn't physically or emotionally harmful in any way. So you can do it as much or as little as you like.
