Although male self-pleasure may seem straightforward, there are ways to mix it up for a better time! During our product creation for PLAY & JOY lubes, we asked many men and women for their thoughts and compiled a list of 7 underappreciated yet highly useful tips for male masturbation!
1 / VARY YOUR PORN
Most men watch porn while masturbating, but it’s easy to get stuck in a rut by watching the same genre repeatedly. Mix it up by exploring new categories and you might discover a new favorite!
2 / CREATE THE RIGHT MOOD
Masturbation isn’t just for women or couples. Adding ambiance by lighting a scented candle, dimming the room, or investing in high-quality bed sheets can create a more sensual experience.
3 / DELAY YOUR ORGASM
It may be tempting to finish quickly, but delaying your orgasm can be more satisfying in the end. Denying yourself release repeatedly can build up tension, resulting in a more intense climax when you finally allow yourself to finish. Plus, it helps you practice self-control, which can be beneficial in partnered sex.
4 / LUBRICATE
Using a personal lubricant can make masturbation more enjoyable by preventing chafing and creating a more vagina-like environment. For a more natural feeling, try a warming lubricant that heats up with friction.
5 / TRY TOYS
Guys can use toys too! A Fleshlight is a popular option, but make sure to use a silky lubricant for the best fit. You can also experiment with prostate stimulation using a small butt plug or your partner’s vibrator.
6 / PAY ATTENTION TO YOUR PROSTATE
Your prostate gland, located inside the anus, can be a source of pleasure when stimulated. Coat a finger or toy with lubricant and gently insert it into the anus. Start slowly and relax your muscles to make it easier.
7 / GIVE SOME TENDER LOVING CARE TO YOUR BALLS
Your balls are packed with nerve endings and are sensitive to touch. Try gently tugging or rubbing them during masturbation for added pleasure.
