Masturbation is a natural part of life that allows individuals to explore their bodies and understand their sexual preferences. For women, this intimate practice can contribute to personal satisfaction and empowerment. Despite its benefits, many women might feel unsure on how to fully embrace their experiences. This blog post shares 20 practical tips to enhance your masturbation journey, empowering you to discover what brings you the most pleasure.
How to Self-Pleasure Your Vagina-Starting Out
Masturbation doesn't necessarily have to result in orgasm. However, if you're in the mood and seeking that endorphin boost, here are some tips to help your body reach the Big O and ultimately how to self-pleasure with a vagina:
Create the right atmosphere: The environment can significantly impact the quality of your solo experience. Try dimming the lights, lighting candles, and playing soothing music.
Use lubricant: While arousal can lead to natural lubrication, it might not always be sufficient. Keep a tube of lube handy to enhance your pleasure.
Let your thoughts roam: It might be obvious, but thinking about someone attractive can be arousing. Allow your mind to fantasize about people or scenarios that excite you.
Take it slow: Experiment with various techniques and savor the sensations throughout your body.
Discover erogenous zones: Stimulating areas like your nipples, ears, or thighs can send waves of pleasure through your body.
Try different toys: Vibrators and dildos are enjoyable, but they're not the only options. Some people enjoy using a showerhead on their clitoris or rubbing against a pillow.
Explore erotica or pornography: While it's fun to let your imagination wander, you can also turn up the heat by reading an erotic book or watching a steamy video.
Decide What Part Of You-You Want To Explore
Playing with your clitoris:
The visible portion of the clitoris is a small, pearl-sized organ, usually covered by a hood, located at the top of the vulva where the inner lips converge.
The clitoral glans is approximately the size of a pearl or pea, but the clitoris itself is far more intricate and extensive.
The clitoris contains thousands of nerve endings, making it the most sensitive area of the genitals. This is why most individuals with a vagina achieve orgasm through clitoral stimulation.
Tips:
Massage the fleshy area on the top of your pubic bone, then run your fingers along the outer and inner lips of your vulva.
Start rubbing or stroking your clitoris through the hood. You can also form a “V” with your pointer and middle fingers and slide them up and down the sides of the clitoral shaft. Find a rhythm that makes you feel good.
Move your fingers faster and harder once your clitoris becomes wet or after you’ve applied lube. Intensify the feeling by applying heavy pressure until you orgasm.
Using a vibrator is a great way to stimulate your clitoris without having to overwork your fingers. Just run your sex toy up and down the area until you get off.
Exploring Your Vagina:
Contrary to common myths, many individuals with a vagina find it challenging to climax solely through vaginal stimulation. However, this doesn’t mean it isn’t enjoyable!
Using your fingers or a sex toy for vaginal penetration can provide significant pleasure, even if it doesn’t lead to orgasm.
For an intense experience, try stimulating your G-spot — a sensitive area on the vaginal wall — with steady, firm pressure, which might also result in ejaculation!
Tips:
Start by massaging the vaginal opening, then gently insert your fingers or a sex toy into your vagina. Ensure your vagina is lubricated or that you’ve applied sufficient lube to minimize friction.
Move your fingers or toy in circular, in-and-out, stroking, or combined motions. The “come hither” motion is particularly effective for G-spot stimulation.
As the pleasurable sensations build, gradually increase speed and pressure. You might experience an intense orgasm, but it’s perfectly normal if you don’t. Not everyone achieves orgasm through vaginal penetration.
If You Want To Experiment Anally:
Who says anal orgasms are only for people with penises? You can experience pleasure from anal play by indirectly stimulating the G-spot through the wall shared by the rectum and vagina.
Remember, it's essential to use lubricant because the anus doesn't produce its own natural lubrication.
Tips:
Begin by massaging both the exterior and interior of your anal area, then carefully and slowly insert your finger or a sex toy into your anus.
Alternate between circular and in-and-out movements during penetration. Increase the speed as the pleasure intensifies until you're ready to climax.
Try using different toys! Vibrators, plugs, anal beads, and massagers can significantly enhance your orgasm.
Errogenous Zone Combos:
Many individuals experience intense orgasms when simultaneously stimulating the vagina and clitoris.
Combining solo play heightens sensations of pleasure by engaging all the sensitive areas of your genitals. Touch and caress your erogenous zones for a steamy, full-body experience.
Tips:
During a solo session, you can use both hands or a combination of fingers and sex toys for clitoral and vaginal stimulation.
Feel free to experiment! Use parallel or opposite rhythms when stimulating your clitoris and vagina simultaneously. Try varying the speeds between the two (like fast fingers and slow penetration).
It's all about trying new things! When stimulating your erogenous zones, explore different touches (such as rubbing, tugging, or pinching) and sex toys (like feathers or finger vibrators) to discover what feels best for you.
Different Positions to Change It Up
Masturbation doesn't have to be dull! You can enhance your solo session by trying various positions to elevate your pleasure.
For Clitoral Stimulation, Lie on Your Back
Although lying on your back might seem traditional, it's the best for clitoral stimulation.
While on your back with a pillow under your head, spread your legs and bend your knees. Begin rubbing your clitoris, adjusting speed and pressure to your preference.
For Vaginal Stimulation, Try Squatting
If you seek an intense orgasm, squatting is the position to try. It helps you locate your G-spot, about 2 to 3 inches inside your vaginal canal.
Crouch with your heels near or touching your thighs. Then, slide your fingers or a toy into your vagina, going deeper as desired.
Experiment with different motions, such as stroking, circular, or in and out.
For Anal Stimulation, Try Face-Down Doggy Style
Face-down doggy style offers immense pleasure for anal play.
This position allows you to insert your fingers or a toy into your behind with one hand while stimulating yourself with the other.
Get on all fours, lowering your face onto the bed or floor to raise your backside.
Wrap one arm around your back to reach your anus, using the other arm under your body to touch your clitoris.
For Combo and Erogenous Zone Stimulation, Try the “Pretend Lover”
The pretend lover is like being on top, just for yourself.
Place your favorite dildo or vibrator on your bed and lower yourself until you find a pleasing sensation — be it penetration, clitoral, or both.
You might need to steady your toy with your hands. Ride at your desired pace, while also rubbing your clitoris or stimulating your nipples to conclude your solo session.
Want to Explore? Try the Reflection
The reflection is an excellent way to explore your body and discover what excites you.
Sit in front of a full-length mirror with plenty of lube. Apply it generously over your body — on your breasts, belly, inner thighs, and vulva — and start caressing these erogenous zones.
Pinch, squeeze, pull, tug, rub — do whatever feels pleasurable and notice what arouses you.
Give Yourself Permission To Enjoy You
Masturbation is a personal journey that leads to greater self-discovery and pleasure. By applying these suggestions you can enhance your experience and find what truly brings you joy. Remember, there is no right or wrong way to explore your body; the key is to listen to yourself and enjoy every moment. Embrace your sexuality and give yourself the freedom to explore and enjoy your body.
