Beyond the Basics: Male Masturbation Techniques

Male masturbation is a way of pleasuring yourself. Living in today's culture, we're all experiencing how much it is being destigmatized, especially with how much free porn is available on the internet for people looking to pleasure themselves.

It may one day become one of those things that one adds into one's routine, such as showering or even making the bed in the morning, but we aren't there yet. Let's look at some male masturbation methods that go beyond the basic rug-burning technique we're used to.

Use Lubricant

Using lube reduces chafing and desensitization from friction. Not to mention, it can also heighten the intensity of your orgasm. Gone are the days when lube was only marketed to couples. Use silicone or water-based lubes because they won't dry out as quickly, especially when you have more time to play.

Mindfulness and Deep Breathing

Today is the day that you discover that masturbation and meditation can be friends. Stress releases cortisol and sympathetic hormones. Cortisol initiates the "flight or fight response," which reduces the pleasure and intensity of orgasm.

Meditation with resounding, pleasurable breathing reduces stress. It will help you channel into being present and enjoying the experience instead of worrying about all the things happening and not happening in your life right now. You can even practice deep breathing before starting. Do a body scan and channel your energy to your genitals.

Use Vibrators

Vibrators have traditionally been marketed to women—external clitoral stimulation to climax during penetrative sex. But, one 2012 study found that 44% of heterosexual men enjoyed using a vibrator on their penis. No, we're not talking about vibrators made for women. There are many vibrating sex toys designed specifically for men. Don't be shy. Explore your options.

Anal Play

Don't forget to stimulate the taint. Butts have a vast number of nerve endings. For many men, stimulating them can feel good. It can even be mind-blowing. Use your hand or a prostate massage toy.

Cock Ring

A cock or penis ring is a band that goes around the base of your penis. You can purchase cock rings that go around your testicles, too. They work by trapping blood flow in your shaft and thereby strengthening your erection. Cock rings are often talked about as a remedy for lasting longer with partnered sex. But you can experience longer, stronger erections and stronger orgasms with solo play as well.

Try Edging

Edging is known as the stop-and-start method. It helps you achieve stronger, more earth-shaking orgasms. The way it works is you work yourself right up to the edge of ejaculation and then take a short break. —just enough time for your erection to soften a bit.

Then you start masturbating again. Do this up to four times or however many times you want before you orgasm, and you'll experience more profound, powerful ejaculations.

Switch Hands

Turn your hand so it slides smoothly down your penis. Let your forefinger lead and twist it as you stroke. Another thing you can try is to hold your penis against your stomach. Using one hand, rapidly slide a few fingers up and down the underside of your shaft.

Experiment with different hand positions and see what works for you. Think of it like switching positions during sex. It's fun, and you get to mix in unfamiliar hand maneuvers that can break up the monotony.

Play With Your Balls

There are so many ways to add more excitement to masturbation. One in particular is to play with your balls. There are many nerve endings in your testicles as there are in your penis.

A lot of men discover that pulling down on their testicles rhythmically before ejaculation causes more intense orgasms. It's an untapped source of stimulation, for sure. Believe it or not, some guys learn to ignore their penis entirely. Try it out and see what works best for you.

Masturbate With a Partner

Masturbation with a partner can be an intimate experience. It can be a start to foreplay or just something you do with them to mix things up a bit. Remember, sex is an emotional, spiritual, physical, or erotic connection, and that includes mutual masturbation.

Watching how your partner touches their body can be a great way to learn precisely what they like in bed and vice versa. You can also kiss and touch each other with your free hand. Don't overthink it. Just be present and enjoy the process.
