How to Masturbate - A Guide to Female Masturbation

What is masturbation?

If you are wondering what masturbation is and how to get started, then you’ve come to the right place. There is nothing greater than self-love and masturbation is a wonderful way of celebrating that by enjoying your body and treating it like a pleasure Goddess.

Solo playing has its own set of advantages including the fact that you don’t need a partner in order to achieve sexual satisfaction. In fact, you also do not have to worry about STIs and pregnancy and you can get down to it whenever the mood strikes!

Understanding the map down there

Before you can jump into playing with yourself, it is important to understand the toys involved. In this case, you should get familiar with your anatomy down there so that you can experiment and find out what works the best for you. Usually, the female anatomy consists of the following parts down there:

• Vagina - This is the muscle enclosure that starts from the inside of the vulva to the base of the cervix and has an external opening.

• Vulva - This is the entire outer region that is visible to you and consists of the labia, urethra, vaginal entrance and clitoris.

• Clitoris - This is the magic organ that serves as the powerhouse of pleasure and is the fleshy bean-like organ that is found in the centre of the vulva and has numerous nerve endings to provide absolute satisfaction.

• Anus - This is the opening in your butt crack which is connected to your intestines and house a host of nerves that make this another erogenous zone in the body guaranteed to give you pleasure when properly stimulated.
  
  

Why should you masturbate?

Apart from the fact that you should masturbate just because you can, it also offers numerous benefits to both the mind and the body:

• It makes you feel satisfied due to the release of endorphins in your brain.
• It is great at relieving aches and pains like headaches and menstrual cramps.
• It helps you discover what you like in bed and helps you guide your partner better.
• It helps in the release of sexual tension in your body, thereby helping with stress-busting.
  
  

How to masturbate like a pro?

Now that you have the basics down, it’s time to get technical and delve into the part where you discover how to masturbate like a pro in no time. Listed below is a thorough set of directions to get you started:

• Get in the mood - The most important thing to do is to get in the mood for a little me-time before you begin exploring. If you want to make it even more special, you can light some scented candles, use some essential oils or even prepare a bath to enter the ‘zone’ and get ready to blow your mind away.

• Explore your body - After you get in the mood, start exploring your body by touching yourself wherever you feel like it. Don’t restrict yourself to the southern region on the map, though. You should touch your nipples, breasts, neck, abdomen, buttocks, thighs or wherever you wish. The aim here is to explore every nook and corner of your body and figure out what makes you feel good.

• Use a stimulus if needed - If you think an external stimulus will make the experience better, feel free to indulge in a little erotica if you enjoy reading, porn if you enjoy visuals, or even audio clippings if that is what turns you on. Remember, this is your time and you get to incorporate anything that pleases you best.

• Try getting handsy - The most common way to masturbate is by touching your genitals with your fingers in whatever way makes you feel good. You can try inserting your finger in your vagina to discover strokes that make you feel pleasure or you can touch your clitoris. Either squeeze it between your fingers or rub it (or do both) to derive satisfaction. You can even try to squeeze your labia lips together to sandwich the clitoris in between and repeat the movement if that feels good to you.

• Go handsfree mode - Well, using your hands doesn’t have to be the only way to masturbate. If it feels good, try squeezing your clitoris by sandwiching it between your thighs while repeatedly moving your dominant leg to apply pressure. Your thighs will in turn stimulate your labia, which will squeeze the clitoris in between, making it an immensely pleasurable experience. You can even try to sit on your knees and use your heel to stimulate the clitoris and see if that feels good to you.

• Try to hit the ‘O’ town (but it’s okay even if you don’t) - Keep switching between motions or repeat the same motion if that feels good till you reach the edge and finally slip off into ‘O’ town. An orgasm usually feels like a pulsating sensation arising from the contraction and dilation of the vaginal muscle that radiates throughout your body, lasting for a few seconds. It can be accompanied by a vaginal discharge and is supposed to be one of the best sensations you will ever feel. But the best way to achieve an orgasm is to get out of your head and stop focusing on it so much. Just make sure you feel good with whatever you’re doing and know that it’s not essential that you orgasm in order to enjoy a fulfilling masturbation session.

• Heat things up with sex toys - You can even look into bedroom products to enhance your sessions, which can involve dildos, vibrators, anal plugs or whatever you feel gets you on. Sex toys are a great way to spice up your masturbation sessions and there’s no better partner out there than a toy that fully ‘gets you’.
