BuzzFeed wants to know: “Have you appreciated your clitoris lately?” The reason they ask is because masturbation is amazing, and so good for your mind and body! Here are 7 ways to do right by your pussy.
- Masturbation should never be treated as a “stand-in for sex”
Masturbation is its own unique and important sexual outlet—as one sex therapist explains, it should be “regarded as first class” and not “relegated to a second-class citizenship.” She adds that it’s “a lifelong relationship you have with your body and with your own sexuality.” - It ain’t all about the Big O
The ultimate goal of masturbation shouldn’t be about having an orgasm—in fact, it could be giving you performance anxiety. She advises women to “just focus on pleasuring yourself without worrying about whether or not you get off.” - Use your digits before graduating to toys
Figuring out how to get yourself off first without a toy sets a good foundation before experimenting with different kinds of orgasms. “Learn your baseline, and then you can go wild,” she says. - Use the clit!
This is the main reason women have trouble orgasming. Get a vibrator and go get off! - Plenty of people require simultaneous stimulation of various erogenous zones for the best orgasm, too
If clitoral stimulation isn’t working for you, play around with penetrating yourself, or exploring other erogenous zones! - Besides being super fun and feeling great, there are health benefits to masturbation
“It relieves stress, it helps you feel more relaxed, and it boosts endorphins and testosterone levels, which can improve your mood,” according to the sexpert. - Masturbating can help you enjoy sex with other people more
As the sexperts explain, if you don’t know what feels good to you, how will you be able to guide a partner? Your pleasure starts with knowing your body, exploring your body, and embracing your sexual health.
