After a long day, especially during those hectic early parenting years, I often found myself completely “touched out.” The thought of engaging in intimate relations with another person became less appealing, as I craved solitude and relaxation. If that tranquility could be amplified by an orgasm, why not indulge?
Let’s face it: while I appreciate my partner, I can get things done more efficiently on my own. Masturbation has proven to be an effective way to unwind. It serves as the perfect nightcap, an energizing start to the day, or a refreshing break during stressful moments.
In the spirit of self-care and exploration, here are a dozen strategies to elevate your self-love experience.
1. Create a Private Space
Establishing a distraction-free environment is key to relaxation. Lock the door, set the lighting to your liking, and immerse yourself in the moment.
2. Use Lubrication
While arousal often brings natural moisture, a little extra lube can heighten pleasure and make things smoother. Always ensure compatibility between your lubricant and any toys you use. For a guide on fertility and enhancing intimacy, check out this resource.
3. Explore New Toys
Whether you prefer something with a buzz or a more penetrative experience, there’s a toy for every preference. With the rise in at-home activities, now is the perfect time to try something new.
4. Engage with Adult Content
Today’s online platforms offer a variety of erotic content that caters to diverse tastes, allowing you to find what truly excites you.
5. Get Lost in Literature
Immerse yourself in a steamy romance novel or erotic fan fiction. The right words can spark inspiration and enhance your mood.
6. Tune Into Sensual Sounds
Explore the world of audio stimulation through ASMR or sensual audio clips. Focusing solely on sounds can lead to heightened arousal.
7. Capture the Moment
Recording your session can enhance the experience, either for private enjoyment or sharing. There’s something thrilling about documenting your pleasures.
8. Change Your Location
Masturbation doesn’t have to be confined to the bedroom. Consider trying it in the bath, shower, or even your car (safely, of course).
9. Discover Your Body
Take the time to explore all your body’s erogenous zones. You might discover new areas that bring delight.
10. Tease and Delay
Experiment with edging—bringing yourself close to orgasm and then pausing. This can make your eventual release even more intense.
11. Extend the Pleasure
After reaching orgasm, don’t rush to stop. Continue touching different parts of your body; you might be surprised at how good it feels.
12. Prioritize Aftercare
After your session, remember to take care of your body. Hydrate and allow yourself a moment to bask in the post-orgasm glow. Don’t forget to urinate to help prevent UTIs, especially if you’ve used toys.
