And yet, it often feels like a weird tabooeven though most people are doing it.
Today, we’re leaving all the shame outside of this conversation.
We don’t need it.
Your masturbation practice should be all about fun, pleasure, and exploration.
You’re likely here because you’re now embarking on developing a masturbation practice.
Maybe you’re new to the game, or maybe this isn’t your first rodeo.
It’s really important to get into the best headspace possible for your self-exploration and pleasure.
Take some “mindset magic” time before you dive in touching your body.
Take your time.
So take a stab at take your time.
Approach yourself with curiosity, intentionality, and love.
Be romantic.
Try creating some ambience for yourself.
Get to know your body.
Look at your body naked.Reallylook at it.
Take a mirror down to your bits and really check them out.
This also comes in handy anytime you may have partnered sex becauseyouknow exactly what feels goodandwhere it is.
We weren’t taught to appreciate our bodies or even get to know them.
We were taught to critique them, “fix them,” and “look good” for others.
It is for your pleasure, your self-exploration, and your appreciation.
So seriously, get naked and check yourself out!
Get curious.
It’s exciting to get to know your bodyafter all, you live inside it!
We want to understand it and know it.
We should take that same energy into discovering our own bodies.
Whip out your toy or your hand and justexplore.
Your body is worth exploringpromise.
When it comes to fantasizing, the biggest key is to release any judgment and shame.
Whatever comes into your mind to turn you on, go with it.
This is a natural human experience.)
Find what feels good.
And the answer is, in some ways yes and in some ways no.
Like most things, masturbation isn’t all or nothing or a binary.
There isn’t one “right” way to do it.
Try something different just for the sake of mixing it up with yourself!
Treat yourself to that same amount of care and attention!
If you live with roommates and don’t feel comfortable doing so, try a new position.
Sometimes it can feel silly to do this, but remember: Masturbating is sexy time with yourself!
You deserve to mix it up and enjoy your personal sex life.
Also, striving for a masturbationpractice, as opposed to a routine, can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about orgasms.
Having an orgasm isn’t the goalit’s a major perk, but it absolutely isn’t essential.
Prioritizing self-care can often just look like providing intentional care to ourselves.
All the care you provide yourself is valid no matter what.
Be intimate with yourself in other ways.
We don’t often slow down to do things with our bodies intentionally.
Even if it feels a little uncomfortable at first, you’ll more than likely end up enjoying it.
Be gentle on yourself.
The bottom line.
You are worthy of love, attention, pleasure, and adorationfrom othersand especially from yourself.
Contrary to what the world taught us growing up, our bodies are, in fact, extraordinary.
There are so manybenefits of masturbation, bothphysicallyand mentally.
So get out of here and have some fun withyou!
