Male Masturbation: Tips for Solo Play

 Male Masturbation: Tips for Solo Play

Masturbation, or the practice of sexual self-pleasure, is common amongst men. In fact, 92 percent of American men admit to partaking in the habit.

 However, it’s possible to get bored with your tried-and-true solo play strategies. Here’s everything you need to know to make masturbation more satisfying.

Is male masturbation healthy?

Masturbation is a healthy, natural way to explore your fantasies and discover what makes you feel good. Plus, aside from getting a sexual release, there are so many health benefits to solo play, including:

• stress relief
• mood boost
• improved sleep

What are some good ways of enhancing the male orgasm?

1. Set the mood

Masturbation doesn’t have to be a quickie in the bathroom! You can plan your alone time just like you would anything else and set yourself up for some quality “me time.”

You can make masturbation more pleasurable by:

• turning down the lights
• playing your favorite erotic video
• slowly teasing yourself
• staying relaxed and present

2. Move your hips

Sure, it’s easy to forget to move your hips while masturbating. After all, it’s not like you’re playing with a partner. But did you know that gyrating and thrusting can help increase the intensity and lead to more pleasure? Yup!

Next time you’re engaging in solo play, move your hips in a circular or back-and-forth motion — or in whatever way feels best to you. Increase the speed as you get closer to climaxing.

3. Go beyond the penis

There’s more to your genitals than just your penis, so show the rest some love! If you like it when your partner plays with your testicles, shaft, and perineum — aka your taint — then why deprive yourself during a solo session?

Your testicles, for example, have almost as many nerve endings as your penis. If you want to intensify your pleasure, consider pulling down on your balls right before you climax.

You can also massage or play with your taint to create some intense sensations. And through it all, don’t forget to stroke your whole shaft to really build up to that “Big O.”

4. Don’t forget the prostate!

Your prostate — otherwise known as the "male G-spot"— is your golden ticket to an intense, full-body experience. So, if you haven’t cashed it in, now is the time.

You can start off slow by using one finger to gently rub the outside and inside of your anal opening, then insert your finger gradually to massage your prostate. Increase the speed and motion as the pleasure begins to build until you’re ready to finish.

If using your finger isn’t your cup of tea, there are toys you can play around with. Don’t be afraid to experiment.

As a man, how can I have an intense orgasmic masturbation?

In short: Practice.Masturbation in itself is a way to experiment and discover what makes you feel good. Some people find that edging, using toys, or stimulating the prostate are ways to increase the intensity of an orgasm.

 The orgasms you achieve from solo play can also be more intense, being that you’re only focused on yourself and your own pleasure.

The takeaway

There’s no right or wrong way to masturbate. Take your time exploring your body and all those things that turn you on.

Experiment with styles, toys, and techniques. Do whatever you need to do to feel comfortable, and enjoy every second of it!
