Different methods of masturbating

Masturbation techniques for the lonely or self-loving - part I

Reviled for centuries by all manner of religions and clouded with myths, masturbation is a healthy way of relieving pressure or just making yourself feel good. As Woody Allen famously said once: “Don’t knock masturbation. It’s sex with someone I love”. So forget everything bad you’ve heard about masturbation because, according to any doctor you might care to ask, it’s all a bunch of myths. Just remember that self pleasure can be a choice even for men who have no problem finding a sex partner. Moreover, it may also help you fight depression and avoid prostate cancer. Recent tests have shown that frequent ejaculation helps prevent the onset of prostate cancer.

Almost every man masturbates, but not everyone does it the same way. Some men use a full grip, while others use only a couple of fingers. Some use condoms, others use lubrication; still others like to go all natural. It’s really a matter of personal taste and mood. A lot of men are perfectly content with the basic full grip and never think of trying to improve something that is practically guaranteed to bring them pleasure. Inquisitive minds, however, tend to find room for improvement event in this area.

The full fist grip is the basic and, probably, the most widespread masturbation technique. The man grips the shaft firmly in his palm and wraps his fingers around it. The hand is used in this case to simulate the grip of a vagina, as the man strokes his way to orgasm. The stroking speed can be controlled in order to prolong the pleasure or to obtain a fast and intense orgasm. Lubrication is optional since there is little risk of chaffing, although circumcised men may want to use some.

Another very common technique is to stroke the penis using only the thumb and forefinger. This light grip is used by men with hypersensitive penises that cannot stand the rub of a full grip for long. Some men actually use this technique as a sort of foreplay before the main rubdown. Once again, lubrication is not needed for this technique and the risk of chaffing is the lowest possible.

The third masturbation technique I’d like to mention shifts the focus from working the length of the shaft to stimulating just the head of the penis. The mushroom-like tip is the most sensitive part of the penis and this type of stimulation takes full advantage of the possibilities by the glans role as a sensory structure. The grip is a little different than usual: the left hand grips the shaft, while the right palm is placed on top of the glans (obviously, left handed men will want to reverse hands). The right hand, then, begins rubbing the glans with a circular motion. Lubrication is recommended for this technique.

The fourth basic masturbation technique is the generic rubbing of the penis without using a grip. The penis is placed between the palms of both hands (although there are many variations of this technique) and rubbed the way one would rub stick in order to make fire. Lubrication is not necessary, but recommended since the sustained rubbing may leave the penis a bit swollen. Use your best judgment in this case.

However, some people feel that the basic full grip is too unimaginative for a dedicated pleasure seeker. A minor variation of the basic technique can be achieved by adding a circular movement to the classic up and down stroking. Moving the penis around add an exciting twist to the feeling and serves to spice up the orgasm. However, such a technique may require a little practice. You can’t expect to hit upon the right speed and angle on the first try. Lubrication is not needed, but you may still use it to heighten the feeling some more.

For a special thrill you may try to use more of your body to get pleasure out of masturbation. Bend the penis upwards until it rests against your stomach. Grab the base firmly in order to hold the penis in this position. Then start rubbing the underside of the penis, making the usual up and down movement with your free hand. If you can refrain from stimulating the glans, there’s a good chance that you will last a long time with this technique.

Another great technique is to use some sort of fixed object to rub your penis against. Some men use the edge of a table top. Others prefer to slide their penises between two pillows or sofa cushions. It doesn’t really matter what you use as long as the object (or objects) in question are firm enough to cause the necessary friction and soft enough not to chafe your penis. If you’re planning to rub your penis against wood or some other hard surface, you may want to use lubrication.

People looking for a powerful rush may want to try a technique that involves more than just the penis. Kneel and sit back on your heels. You will probably want to do this on the bed instead of the floor in order to prevent any injuries to your feet due to the time spent in this position. Use your heels to spread the ass cheeks apart. This will allow your pubococcygeus muscle to flex freely and more powerful than usual. You can try this technique in front of a mirror or use an anal toy during masturbation.

If you are not comfortable with anal toys, but still feel intrigued by the idea, you can try something that does not involve anal penetration first. Get a stick about the same size of a broomstick. Kneel on your bed or on a thick carpet and lubricate the stick. Slide it between your legs so that it looks like you’re riding it and start moving up and down the stick. Match the pace of your stick riding and masturbation and make sure that the stick presses upwards between your ass cheeks in order to stimulate both your anus and PC muscle.

For a very special treat, kneel on your bed and bring your hands together in front of your penis. Grab your penis with both hands and start thrusting. The hands must remain motionless and firm in order to simulate a vagina, while the hips and pelvis do the thrusting. Since you have no way of balancing yourself during the act, be careful not to get too carried away. On the other hand, what could happen if you fell in your own bed?

Masturbation does not always mean a hedonistic obsession with the self. While some people frown on masturbation as the practice of self-absorbed individuals, that does not necessarily make it wrong. This negative attitude fails to take into account the fact that men may not always find a sex partner when they feel like it or may not be inclined to go through the entire courtship ritual that’s pretty much mandatory before sex. Moreover, not every man is blessed with an open-minded partner who would consent to fantasies and body-play. In such cases, masturbation is a perfectly healthy and logical method for relieving one’s accumulated sexual tension.

The idea that anything other than a man and a woman having sex in the missionary position is an act against nature has long been relegated to the dustbin of history. Yet some people refuse to take notice and choose instead to spread all kinds of myths by passing them as facts.

Masturbation can be performed in many ways, depending upon the imagination of the man in questions. One of the more refined techniques is the slow masturbation that delays a quick orgasm in order to build up pleasure. You can use a full grip or a light grip (just the thumb and forefinger) with this technique. The basic idea is to rub yourself very slowly, moving your hand up and down only an inch, or less. This should create enough stimulation to trigger an orgasm, but only after a significant period of time.

An interesting variant of the full grip is the one involving underwear. Since masculine underwear usually features a slit in front for easy peeing, you might as well take advantage of it and use it to heighten your pleasure. Pull your penis out through the slit and apply a full grip. Using the free hand, grab your underwear and pull down, so that the top of the slit presses down on the base of your penis. Make sure your penis is fully erect at this point. Proceed to stroke yourself to orgasm as the slit acts like a cock ring, trapping the blood within the penis and helping you maintain a rock-hard erection.

Or, in yet another twist, you could go for a higher stimulation of the underside of your penis. Grab your shaft with a full grip, but leave the thumb outside, on top of the other fingers. As you slide your hand up and down the shaft, the tip of the thumb should press into the penis in order to rub the sensitive underside in depth. Practice with various degrees of pressure. Lubrication is required for this technique

If you want to stimulate your testicles during masturbation while still using only one hand (or if your other hand is busy holding your shorts as described above), you could try the following technique. Grip the penis from above. The bottom of your palm should be at the same level as the top of the glans. While four fingers are wrapped around the penis, the forefinger is extended. As you move your hand up and down your penis, the forefinger can be used to caress or play with your testicles.

A good, thorough rubbing of the penis can be easily obtained using a two-handed approach. Place both your palms on the shaft and let your fingers interlock. Starting from this grip, you can either move both hands simultaneously and stroke your penis vigorously, or you can move the hands up and down in opposite directions. Lubrication is not needed for this technique, unless you plan to spend more than half an hour stroking yourself.

But if you’re planning on giving yourself a little extra pleasure you may try a different approach. Grab the glans and about an inch of the shaft with your left hand and hold firmly. With your right hand start a milking movement, downward along the shaft. Continue the movement in order to caress and play with your testicles at each stroke. For added pleasure you may want to massage your glans with the left hand, although you have to be careful not to lose your stabilizing grip.

Men who long for the pleasures of oral sex, but cannot get any (for some reason or other) should try a technique designed to imitate the feeling of lips sliding up and down the penis. Using the thumb and index from your right hand, grab the penis shaft just below the glans, while your left hand should grip the penis below the two fingers. The two hands are supposed to move together, as the right hand gives the feeling of lips sliding up and down the penis and the left hand provides thrust on the up-move.

Another simulation position is the one designed to make the man feel as if he has a sex partner on top of him. Sit in a chair, preferably one that can lean backwards or rock, and cross your wrists above your penis. Gently, slide the member between your forearms, which should be thoroughly lubricated for this technique. Move the penis up and down between your forearms, letting your pelvis do all the thrusting. This technique requires some practice to get it right, but the feeling can be quite rewarding.

Have you ever tried wringing out your penis? Don’t flinch, it doesn’t hurt at all, provided it is done carefully and gently. Grab the penis with both hands and start wringing it as you would do with a washcloth. Is you’re doing this correctly then there shouldn’t be any part of the penis (except maybe the tip of the glans) left unstimulated. Lubrication is necessary with this technique in order to avoid chaffing.

Those who have enough time on their hands and want to try something more intense can go for a technique that combines pressure and movement. Place your left hand at the base of the shaft, ready to caress or play with your testicles. The right hand is placed on top of the glans, palm down, and the fingers surround the penis. Now press gently on the top of the glans and, at the same time, rotate your palm a bit in order to bring the fingers up, around the glans. The index and middle fingers should caress the entire shaft during their upward movement. Lubrication is needed for this technique.

Masturbation techniques for the lonely or self-loving - part III

One of the reasons why men (and women) like masturbation so much is precisely the forbidden pleasure status. Unlike sex, masturbation does not require any kind of preparation outside of a desire to engage in it. It can be performed anytime and anywhere (more or less) as long as you’re willing to take a chance. Still, masturbation is easier to disguise and hide in case the situation gets dangerous. These lines are not meant to encourage risky sexual behavior or to tell anybody that masturbating in public is a good idea (because it’s not). The basic idea is that not having to depend on another person’s moods and pleasures and not being restricted by location and time are two things that make masturbation very much fun.

One of the easiest ways to masturbate is to refrain from touching the shaft and focusing on the foreskin instead. Grab the foreskin with two fingers and start moving it up and down, rubbing the head of the penis in the process. The underside of the glans is particularly suited for this gentle rubbing. Your other hand can be used to massage your testicles. Lubrication is not needed for this technique because the foreskin protects the glans from your touch. Unfortunately, circumcised men cannot use this technique.

Also on the list of “stealth” masturbation techniques is the pleasure obtained by rubbing your penis through the fabric of your underwear. Masturbating without taking your underwear off feels better for some men because the fabric adds to the friction on the penis. However, the feel of fabric interposed between the hand and penis skin may delay orgasm for those who aren’t used to this type of masturbation. Lubrication may be needed for this technique, but you have to realize that between lubrication and the sperm ejaculated at the end of a successful masturbation session those panties go directly in the wash.

A different approach to getting pleasure from self-loving is to work the upper part of the penis, while neglecting the shaft and testicles. This technique features a strong grip on the shaft with the left hand (or the right hand for left-handed men). The left hand must rest on the pad of fat located at the base of the penis. The right hand grabs the head of the penis and an inch of the shaft and starts the usual up and down movement (although making a milking motion with your fingers is just as good). Lubrication is recommended for this technique, especially for circumcised people.

For those looking for something a bit unusual, you can try a two-handed technique guaranteed to give you a lot of pleasure. Place one hand on the penis, at the base of the shaft, and move upwards toward the head. When the hand goes over the head of the penis, place your second hand at the base of the shaft and start moving up. The first hand goes back to the initial position so that the two hands follow each other and maintain a constant stroking pace. This vigorous rubbing should get you a powerful rush. Be careful because lubrication may be necessary.

If you’re one of those who like a thorough massaging of the testicles once in a while, then you may wish to try a rather special technique. Grab your penis by placing your palm on the glans and wrapping the fingers around the shaft. The hand slides up and down the shaft, index extended, masturbating the penis and the testicles at the same time. The other hand is free to caress the testicles or massage them for extra pleasure. Lubrication is recommended for this technique.

People who are tired of using two hands to masturbate should try a technique designed especially for them. The key to this technique is plenty of lubrication and patience. Spread lube all over your lower part of the stomach, reaching down to the base of the penis, over the glans and your fingers. Grab the penis from below the glans with two fingers and start rubbing it across the lubricated part of the stomach. You can also use a cloth to make sure that the tip of the glans rubs against something.

One of the most widespread masturbation techniques of the modern age is bathtub masturbation. Men and women cannot resist the feeling of a warm jet of water gently hitting against their most sensitive parts. Be very careful not to scald your penis by using hot water. The penis, and especially the glans, are very sensitive parts and should be protected from direct exposure to hot water. It’s the last place you want to get blisters or burns on. Use lubrication if you think it necessary, although the water should provide you with all the lubrication you need.

Depending on how you usually perform the above-mentioned technique, you may wish to try an interesting variation that is bound to heighten your pleasure. Instead of sitting or kneeling in the bathtub, lay down on your back with your feet spread and propped on the bathtub rim. What you want is to have the stream of warm water fall on your anus, testicles and penis. This can be achieved with minimum of movement during masturbation. As before, make sure that the water is not too hot and also make sure that the stream of water falling on your testicles does not hurt you.

If you really feel the need to use something else than your hand, you may wish to try humping a pillow or something similar. Rubbing your penis against the shorts, briefs, pants or sofa cushions is also a good way to relieve tension and enjoy a good orgasm. Lubrication may be needed, but be warned that things will get messy if you use it. Try using soft cloths that would not chafe your penis.

A nice way of using more than just your hand to get pleasure is to grab your penis using the top-down cup-like grip. The palm of the hand rests on the underside of the glans, while the fingers are wrapped around the shaft. Start sliding your penis into your hand using the hips and pelvis to do the thrusting. This technique can be used more than one position. This means that you can either do the thrusting while kneeling on your bed or lying face-down. You can do this naked or through a pair of underwear. It’s your choice.

Masturbation techniques for the lonely or self-loving - part IV

There’s nothing wrong with relieving your sexual tension by yourself. It’s a good way to escape the pressure without having to risk rejection or delays. It’s fast, perfectly healthy and, as long as you’re keeping yourself clean, it’s the safest form of sex that can be imagined. Although many people are openly against masturbation, their arguments are not always pertinent. U.S. Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders said in 1994 that masturbation is perfectly normal and that people should not be told otherwise.

People masturbate in many different ways, depending on their imagination, sense of adventure and time available for this activity. Women are usually more willing to experiment, while men are looking for intensity, the powerful rush to the head. A good example of exotic masturbation is the technique which involves the use of a drinking glass. Sit naked on the edge of the bed and let your testicles hang down. Place a drinking glass around your testicles and press upwards toward the perineum. Masturbate normally and experiment with the sensation given by the pressure exerted on the area behind the scrotum. You may want to warm the glass up a bit before lowering your testicles into it.

Or you could try to apply something cold against your testicles. Masturbate normally and keep an ice cube near. When you feel about to have an orgasm, place the ice cube underneath your testicles and let them fall on it. Some men find the sudden sensation of cold to add even more pleasure to their orgasms. You may want to place a cloth on the bed in order to absorb water from the melting ice cube. If you feel that using an ice cube is too much for you, try wrapping it up in a napkin or chilling your free hand with the ice cube and using it to play with your testicles.

If you like to play with lubrication, you may wish to try a technique involving a fair amount of it. Apply plenty of lubrication on your left forearm and grip your penis firmly with the right hand. Start rubbing your glans against your forearm, all the way up to the wrist. You may wish to experiment with this technique to find the best place to rub your penis against.

A more complex technique, designed for those who like to play with themselves for a long time before reaching orgasm. This technique can also help train your body to go through long periods of erotic stimulation without reaching the climax. Sit on the edge of the bed, or wherever your favorite spot may be, and lubricate your penis thoroughly. Grip the base of the penis with the left hand and use your right hand to perform a milking movement from the bottom to the top. While milking, make sure you’re pulling slightly on your penis, while at the same time bending it a bit upward. When your fingers reach the glans, give it a gentle squeeze and repeat the whole procedure again. Experiment with the strength of the pull and make sure you don’t hurt yourself.

In order to make it feel as if somebody else is masturbating you, an idea very popular among those who fantasize about other people, you can try a simple technique. Sit on the corner of the bed or on the edge of an armchair (you need something that lets your arms move freely) and spread your legs. Anchor yourself with your left hand and pass your right hand underneath your right leg. Grab the penis and start masturbating using whatever stroking technique you like. The position is practically guaranteed to make you feel as if the hand on your penis is not yours, but someone else’s.

Another thing that many people like is to spurt their sperm proudly, regardless of the mess it makes upon landing. Nothing wrong with that, just a way of getting even more pleasure out of a good orgasm. In order to maximize the feeling and squirting you can try squatting during masturbation. Squat near a wall or some other object that won’t let you fall on your back. Anchor yourself with the free hand if you feel the need. Bring yourself to orgasm using your preferred stroking technique. The trick is to tense all the muscles in your lower body during ejaculation. This will increase your spurting range and make orgasm even more intense. Be careful, since squatting for long periods of time is not a good idea.

And to wrap it up, here’s a technique that is great for a long road to orgasm. Place your index finger on the tip of the glans and grab the base of the glans with your thumb and middle finger. You may want to try and cover the base of the glans with the foreskin if the sensation is too strong to be comfortable. Move your fingers in a quick up and down motion; do this as fast as you can. You can use this technique to reach a slow orgasm, or you can switch to a full fist just as you’re approaching orgasm in order to increase the pleasure.
