Men: A step-by-step guide to masturbating for heightened pleasure

Let’s be honest, there is no better way to explore your body than enjoying a little solo session, every once in a while. Masturbation or the act of self-pleasure is one of the best ways to relax and release all the stress accumulated in the body. It not only helps in getting in ‘touch’ with your erogenous zones but is also a great way to spice up your sex life.

It does not matter whether you are venturing into the solo play session for the first time or are a regular player, it is never too late to learn tips and tricks which can blow your mind. We present you a step-by-step breakdown on how to show yourself a little love and reach new erotic heights. You can thank us later.

First things first, it is important to get comfortable and find a place where you can solely focus on ‘self-love’. Whether it is the washroom or the comfort of your blanket, turn down the lights and put on your favourite music. Choose from erotic videos or reads and make yourself comfortable.

Men, instead of going for a quick ejaculation, take it slow for an enhanced experience. Instead of going the regular route, explore your body for a bit and learn what excites you the most. Close your eyes and pay attention to the various strokes and motions. Experiment with speed as it will let you know what works the best for you.

Guys, if you regularly masturbate by sitting down, we suggest switching things up. Try doing it while standing in the shower, sitting on a chair, kneeling or even lying on your side. When you masturbate in the same position every day, it takes the fun away from the solo session.

Yes, you read that right. A lot of men are not aware of the fact that their nipples can actually help them multiply their pleasure. Nipple stimulation can help in increasing your sexual arousal, ever-so-gently and help you get closer to a knee-jerking orgasm. You may use bobby pins (or clamps) if you feel like and gently tease your nipples and increase your pleasure. If you are not one to go for clamps, we suggest slowly (and sensually) massaging your nipples till they get erect. Continue playing with them with your free hand, while stroking your penis.

Pretty much an extension of changing things, switching your hands can heighten your pleasure and take it to the next level. When you jerk off with your non-dominant hand, it may feel like someone else is giving you a handjob, which intensifies the feeling. It also gives you a free hand to browse through erotic ‘videos’, allowing you to multitask.

Also known as edging, it is the art of stopping just before you reach the peak, and then starting again. It will not only increase your stamina but as you get closer and closer to the edge, you will ultimately have a mind blowing orgasm as the result of all the build-up. Patience is the key. The more patient you are while enjoying the process, the more powerful orgasm you will end up experiencing. Mark our words. Prolonging this feeling of arousal will also help you last longer in bed and go on, till your partner actually wants you to stop.

Instead of doing the regular up and down thrusting, find different ways of putting your hands to good use. Some of them are:

1.Three-finger grip

2.Twisting strokes

3. Touching the penis head while stroking

Men, your balls are probably the most ignored aspect of your sexual escapades. Start playing down there, squeeze a little or even pull them down a bit while you stroke yourself. Playing with your balls can open new doors of pleasure you were not aware of.

Once you understand how you like playing with your balls, you can use both your hands to get closer to a knee-jerking orgasm. Use your non-dominant hand to stroke your penis to erection and the other to cup your testicles gently.

Yes, you read that right. Taking things further, try and find your prostate and stimulate it slowly. Start by massaging your prostate by inserting a clean, lubed-up finger in your rectum. If you are not comfortable using your finger, start slow and understand how it makes you feel. Once you begin enjoying the anal stimulation, it will certainly take your orgasm game to the next level.

As per many sex experts, the idea of watching yourself masturbate can turn you on further. If you have a mirror in your room, it’s time you use it.
