Addressing the Stigma Around Male Masturbation

Despite masturbation being one of the most common sexual activities (Reference 2), there sadly is still a huge heap of shame and stigma surrounding it.

This is especially true with male masturbation. There is an unfair bias surrounding male masturbation in our society, one that suggests it is ‘creepy’ or ‘pervy’ to masturbate as a man or use male sex toys. One article found many men reported feeling ‘creepy’ after purchasing a male masturbator online (Reference 3), and this shouldn’t be the case for what is a perfectly normal and natural behavior.

Sex toys for women are now openly discussed in the media (think back to that famous rabbit scene in Sex and the City), so why is there such shame around male sex toys? Society views female masturbation as a beautiful and joyous occasion to be celebrated. Now don’t get us wrong we love the female orgasm and strongly agree with this, however, we are fighting for masturbation equality. Male masturbation can be pretty too! So, we are here to celebrate boys’ toys and tell you why you should be using them (if you’re not already).

Male Masturbation Techniques and Tips

Think you know everything there is to know about masturbating? There is always more to learn about the art of solo sex. Read through these steps and techniques to become a professional masturbator.

Tip 1 – Set The Scene before Masturbating

What’s all the rush about? Don’t bolt through your personal pleasure date, take your time and make an event of it. Make sure you are in a comfortable and relaxed position, where the lighting feels nice, the plumped cushions feel lovely brushing against your bare derriere and you really feel in utter bliss. This is the ideal environment for your solo sex session. Once you feel tranquil, slowly start to tease and caress your penis in preparation for a mammoth masturbation sesh.

Tip 2 – Mix Up Your Masturbation Techniques

Routine is not sexy. To achieve mind-blowing orgasms you need to keep your penis on the edge. If you find yourself always doing the classic one hand up and down masturbation routine, try mixing it up a bit.

Thrusting is great fun, cupping the penis with either one or both hands try using your hips to thrust in and out of your hands. So, essentially you are penetrating the tunnel your hands have created, trust us this will feel delightful and mimic the feeling of real sex.

Something as simple as switching hands while you masturbate will spice the sensations up a notch. Masturbating with your non-dominant or regular masturbating hand will make the experience more unique. Try cupping your penis with both hands to experience double-fisted pleasure. This method will ensure every inch of your penis is pleasured. To really take your techniques to the next level, invest in multiple male sex toys such as a stroker you can use with your hand, and a realistic vagina that can be laid flat so you can really work on your thrusting technique.

Tip 3 – Always Use Male Masturbation Sex Essentials

Don’t forget the male masturbation essentials on your next steamy night in for one. Lubricant is the bread and butter of a good masturbation session. Using it is essential to ensure the playdate with your penis is pleasurable. The penis does not provide as much natural lubrication as a vagina, therefore you must use lubricant when masturbating.

Lube helps everything glide and slide, whilst preventing any nasty friction occurring between the penis and the hand (or anything else the penis is penetrating). Lube also enhances the sensations felt when masturbating with a male sex toy. If you are using lube with a male masturbator (which you should be) it is important to check compatibility between materials, never use a silicone-based lubricant with a silicone sex toy as silicone reacts with itself. Our advice would be to always stick with water-based lubricants when using sex toys.

Another sex essential to always keep in your masturbation cupboard is a bottle of our specially formulated toy cleaner. Masturbating with male sex toys feels so much better, and an important step is to make sure you thoroughly clean them with after use with toy cleaner. This will keep your toys hygienic and lasting longer.

Tip 4 – Explore Other Pressure Points Of The Body

Don’t make it all about the penis. Yeah, it might be the star of the show, but there are so many other exciting acts and areas of your body just waiting to be activated. Stimulating other erogenous zones on the body such as the nipples, ears or neck can open you up to the experience of a full-body climax (Reference 5). Next time you are masturbating, try gently tugging and rubbing the nipples to enhance your orgasm.

Don’t neglect the testicles, they contain as many nerve endings as the penis (Reference 5). To experience more pleasure, gently caress, fondle and tug down on the balls next time you are stroking your shaft.

There is a holy area that exists on a man’s body between his balls and his anus, this is where you will find his golden jewels. In scientific terms, this area is labeled the perenimum, however, you may know it as the gooch. Hundreds of happy nerve endings live in this area and when stimulated will deliver super intense orgasms. Apply a small amount of lube to your finger and gently massage the gooch the next time you are masturbating.

Next stop, prostate station. The prostate is the equivalent of the male G-spot and is found about a finger width inside the anus. To experience mind-blowing orgasms gently rub your finger around the rim of the anus. If you feel comfortable, using lots of lube, try inserting your finger into the anus using a cum hither movement with your hands to stroke the prostate.

Tip 5 – Use Male Sex Toys
