How well do you know your body? Most of us
understand the fundamentals of how our bodies work but what about that
satisfying sexual connection? The one that makes us feel good, look younger,
and strengthens relationships? Exploring self-pleasure, or masturbation, is an
exciting way to realize your desires, achieve and heighten orgasm, and even
learn to have multiple orgasms!
The best way to start is to dive right in,
literally. If you feel more relaxed after a bath or shower then do this
first. When ready, start with some
ensured privacy in the bedroom and lock the door (especially if you are a mom).
Maybe light some candles and play some soft sensual music. Next get comfortable
in bed. Prop yourself up just slightly and let your legs fall into a relaxed
position. Start slowly by discovering
your vagina. Your Labia Majora and Labia Minora (outer and inner lips of the
vagina) are packed with nerve endings that are very responsive to stimulation. Touch
these areas with your fingers. Give yourself permission to enjoy the feeling.
Adding a lubricant will provide a slightly different sensation. Now move onto
the clitoris. While you use your fingers to stimulate these areas take note of
the way you move your hands and fingers.
To take it to the next level, consider a
unisex enhancement gel. Applying this special gel to the clitoris makes it extra
sensitive to the touch. The intensified sensation helps achieve quicker and
stronger orgasms. If you are comfortable with the gel, you may want to consider
adding a vibrator. Exploring the added pleasures of a sexual toy can take your
lusts to a level that neither hand nor tongue can replicate. A small vibrator,
or ‘bullet’, is usually the first toy in any woman’s toy box because it is
small, discreet and unintimidating. When used together, gels and toys can
launch a new brand of gratification.
The comfort and experience that comes from
understanding your own carnal pleasures provides many added benefits.
Masturbation can lead to confidence and self-sufficiency and orgasms release
feel-good hormones like oxytocin which can increase relaxation, relieve headaches,
improve sleep and even make your skin look younger. “Younger (sexier) You” by
Eric R. Braverman, MD.
Invite your partner to join the fun. Begin
by stimulating yourself in front of him. In many cases men enjoy when a women takes
control and contributes to the foreplay so don’t be shy. Place your partner’s
hands and fingers exactly how you want them. Softly tell him, or demonstrate
for him, how to move. Once your partner
sees you writhe under their touch, they will get excited and want to do more.
Most importantly, trust yourself. Be the master of your own sensual pleasures.
Your sexual satisfaction is, in fact, at your fingertips. If it feels good, it is
good. Go for it!
