Sensational Solo Sex: Advanced Techniques

If you are no newbie to solo sexual pleasuring and you're seeking more ways to make your self-pleasure sessions even better, this is the perfect opportunity to hone your masturbation techniques. Get ready to go beyond the basics of solo sex and get twice the pleasure with these advanced tips from the sex experts.

Getting it on

When it comes to any kind of sex -- whether it's solo or partnered -- getting into the right mood helps enhance the pleasure you experience. Set aside some time for yourself when you have no obligations and some privacy. Dim the lights, don your silky knickers, whatever puts you in a sensual mood.

Start by lying down on a comfortable bed. Squeeze out a big dollop of lubricant, and apply it to the inner lips of the vagina and clitoris. With one hand, massage the entire area, adding more lube if you start to feel dry.

Use your other hand to cup and stroke your breast, gently circling and squeezing your nipple with your index finger and thumb. As you're touching yourself, close your eyes and play your favorite fantasy or sexy images in your mind. Thinking about steamy, sexy thoughts can be very mentally arousing and makes for some mind-blowing self-pleasuring, so let your imagination run wild.

Discover your favorite strokes

Different women have different preferences for clitoral stimulation, but most avoid direct stroking of the clitoris because it becomes so sensitive to the touch. Masturbation is a very personal thing, take your time to experiment with varying strokes and pressures until you find what you like best. Start gentle and keep the rhythm steady.

Moves to try

There are many methods for masturbation, and it takes a fair bit of experimentation to figure out what does it for you. Give these techniques a try:

Begin by slowing stimulating just above and below your clitoris, gently at first, then using more pressure when you feel more aroused.

Stroke back and forth along each side of the clitoris. You may find that one side is more responsive than the other.

Stimulate the clitoris in little circular motions with the index or middle finger.

Flick the clitoris with the tip of your finger as though you're strumming a guitar.

Use pressure and friction as stimulation. Lie down with a pillow or folded comforter held between your legs. Try rubbing it back and forth against the clitoris, rhythmically pressing your thighs together to add pressure on the clitoris.

Try inserting one or two fingers of your other hand into the vagina while you masturbate.

Many women first discovered masturbation in the shower. Use the shower head to direct the jet of water over the clitoris.

Achieve more intense orgasms

Clench your bottom and, taking deep breathes, do Kegel exercises (rhythmically squeeze, then release, your vaginal muscles) while you masturbate. You can also try pressing your thighs together to create tension in the groin and increase the sensation.

As the pleasurable sensation gets more and more intense, and you know orgasm is close, back off and touch yourself somewhere else such as your nipples. Repeated stimulating-simmering (also referred to as 'edging') builds up sexual tension. Not only does it prolong your pleasure, it can also help you learn to achieve multiple orgasms.
When orgasm finally occurs, you'll experience an intense rush of pleasure and muscular contractions in your vagina. Concentrate on the sensation. Female orgasms last about fifteen seconds, but it varies among individuals.

Invest in a vibrator

Vibrators provide another way of pleasuring yourself. Their constant intensity means you get steady stimulation, an advantage over tired hands. Depending on what you need, there are many different types of vibrators to choose from.

External vibrators such as the Hitachi Magic Wand or egg vibrator offer stimulation to the clitoris. Turn on the power and explore in much the same way that you did with your hands. Try running the toy over different parts of your body, stimulating all your hot spots. Then lightly place the tip of your vibrator on your clitoral hood. If you find direct contact too intense, place your knickers or a piece of clothing between your body and the toy.

While most women need clitoral stimulation to reach orgasm, many also enjoy the sensation of fullness within their vagina during masturbation. You can get an insertable toy like a penis-shaped dildo or a G-spot vibrator for this purpose.

And if you're looking for something that does both, the Rabbit vibrator comes with a phallic-shaped shaft that has a clitoral stimulator attached for simultaneous vaginal and clitoral stimulation.
