Masturbation is all about making yourself feel sexual and sensual pleasure and there are so many ways to do it. Some people use hands, some use toys. Some people don't even touch themselves at all and use hypnosis to have things called "hands free orgasms" - it’s a real thing! Look it up! Some people have phone sex and have mutual masturbation or just one dirty talker on the line and one wanker on the other. Some may read a spicy read and take a trip down south. Some people may hump things like pillows or blankets or towels. Others try orgasmic meditation. Some people watch porn, some people listen to it. Some people read it. There are different assortments of stories, audio files, and videos for every sort of taste. Some people just use their imagination and their hands. A few people may make a day-long affair of it and get a massage, take a long soak, and follow it up with a different type of massage a little further south. Plenty of people enjoy having a fun time with water streams, whether it’s with a detachable shower head or a bathtub faucet. Others just take some lube and go to town. You can touch yourself anywhere - the body is covered in erogenous zones. Masturbation has countless methods to let people feel pleasure and so many approaches to get that magic "O" that I would be out of ink and space if I listed them all. The thing is, what you think may get you off and what actually gets you off might be two entirely different things and that's okay. Try to listen to your body's signals and follow what feels good to find what you enjoy. Stick with whatever sparks your interest.

Whether it's a 5 minute diddle of your own personal fiddle or a whole day of pleasure-cation, whatever you do to get off is up to you. Maybe you've tried one of the things on the list, or tried a few. Maybe you've never tried at all! But this is your permission to follow your pleasure wherever it leads and have some sexy solo time. Your first relationship is with yourself, including a sexual one, so let’s make it a good one.
