Recap of the many benefits of masturbation
A great night's sleep
A great practice for your heart!
The good news: you don't have to exhaust yourself with a cardio session to take care of your heart! Enjoying yourself alone is a great way to stimulate your heart and increase your heart rate , just like during sex.🫀
Solo fun is good for the brain
Now let's move on to the brain. It is nourished and maintained by two substances produced in particular by sexual stimulation: adrenaline and cortisol.
The secretion of these natural chemicals is vital for brain health , as they have a major impact on brain function.
Adrenaline, often associated with excitement and anticipation , stimulates brain activity and promotes concentration. It can also improve mood and motivation, giving a feeling of well-being and vitality .
As for cortisol, it is often called the stress hormone, but in reality, it plays a vital role in regulating many bodily functions . It drives metabolism, the immune system, and stress response. Adequate cortisol secretion is important for maintaining hormonal balance and optimal brain function. 🧠
Masturbation, a benefit for the immune system
It's good for morale!
Pleasure plays a vital role in mood management and can help combat depression . The endorphins, dopamine, and oxytocin released during masturbation act as neurotransmitters and hit the pleasure and reward centers of the brain. ✨
Endorphins are known to provide a sense of well-being and euphoria . Dopamine, on the other hand, is associated with motivation, pleasure and reward, and its increase helps to improve mood. Finally, oxytocin, often called the “bonding hormone,” promotes feelings of trust, social connection and satisfaction .
By stimulating the release of these hormones, masturbation can help rebalance brain chemistry , relieve stress and anxiety, and improve overall mood. While it’s not a miracle cure for depression, it is a useful tool in managing emotional and mental well-being. 🧘
Bye-bye menstrual pain
Masturbation is highly recommended to help you manage pain. In addition to boosting mood, hormones have a powerful anti-analgesic effect. According tothe Menstruation study conducted on 486 women for 6 months, masturbation helps reduce period pain and frequency.
This pain-relieving effect also helps relieve people prone to severe migraines and chronic pain and alleviates the symptoms of menopause.
Avoid Incontinence Through the Power of Masturbation
The pelvic floor is a set of ligaments and muscles. When we masturbate, our body exercises. The contractions linked to pleasure and orgasm help strengthen this part of the body . A more toned pelvic floor helps to better control incontinence and intensify sensations during penetration. Only advantages, right? 💪
Choosing the Right Place to Masturbate
Finding the right place to give yourself pleasure depends a lot on your desires and fantasies . There are two schools of thought: some people prefer a safe cocoon where they can go and meet their intimacy, while others find excitement in the risk of being surprised.😏
In general, people's favorite place remains the one that guarantees the most discretion. The comfort of your bedroom is ideal for taking your time, testing different positions. And if you live alone or have a time slot without partners or children, why not vary the rooms ?
Good news, we even have a solution for women who still live with their parents or in shared accommodation!
Take refuge in your room. Put on some music to hide your sighs of pleasure and slip under the covers to soundproof . The bathroom is also a great place to masturbate. The sound of the shower water will help you slip into a bubble of pleasure. 🚿
It's up to you to explore the places that inspire you the most. Sometimes, pleasuring yourself in front of your partner is the best place to be stimulated. Don't be afraid to explore to find the ideal conditions to fly to seventh heaven solo.
The ideal positions for masturbating
Kneeling on his bed
After you've already warmed up by exploring your erogenous zones, shift up a gear by holding onto the back of the bed with one hand.
Then, lean forward and hold the vibrator on the mattress and start making small back and forth movements with your hips. Find your rhythm and stay tuned to your sensations.🔥
If you've opted for a penetrating vibrator like Chouchou , arch your back to get more depth. If you're on a vibration, squeeze your thighs together to intensify the pleasure.
In the bath, on one leg
So no, this position is not just for gymnasts, I promise!
In this position, start by running a nice hot bath and make sure it is at a comfortable temperature for you. Once the bath is ready, lie comfortably in the water, making sure your body is well submerged.
Now, lift one of your legs and place it on the edge of the tub. This position allows easy access to your clitoris while remaining relaxed in the water.
You can use your hands or bring your favorite vibrator as long as it is waterproof. The warm bath water will help relax your muscles, making for a more enjoyable and relaxing experience.
Lying on the bed
An essential classic!
Lying on your back with your legs bent, start by gently caressing your chest , brushing your nipples to increase desire and excitement.
Once you have reached a first level of excitement, head towards the stomach then the lower stomach until you slowly move your fingers down your thighs . When you can't hold it any longer, grab your sex toy to vibrate your clitoris.
For more comfort, you can also raise your legs and gently slide your vibrator into your vagina , but be careful, it must be very wet so that you can enjoy yourself!
Masturbating while standing, not even scared!
It is often thought that standing masturbation is reserved for men and that women get their pleasure lying down , but these are just prejudices. The shower is a good place to masturbate standing up for example.
But how to do it?
Stand with your back against a wall or sturdy surface for stability. Bend your knees slightly and spread your feet slightly apart for balance. Use one hand to stimulate your clitoris or vulva , while the other can lean against the wall for support.
With your fingers or a vibrator , you can stimulate your clitoris and then once well lubricated, move towards penetration if you feel like it.
Hands-free fun
Want to add a little challenge to your pleasure routine? We present to you the technique of humping .
Make yourself comfortable in bed, then place a pillow under your pelvis to elevate your body. Lie on your stomach, pressing lightly on the pillow to feel well supported.
Then start moving your pelvis back and forth, gently rubbing your genital area against the pillow. You can adjust the angle and intensity of the movements depending on what gives you the most pleasure.
Feel free to explore different rhythms and pressures to find what works best for you. This technique can be a great way to start your day, giving you a moment of pleasure and relaxation as soon as you wake up.
Practice masturbation while sitting on a chair
For the last of our techniques, you will need a chair , preferably smooth and comfortable. Sit on it, spread your legs and lean forward slightly so that your clitoris rubs against the chair.🪑
Start with back and forth movements , up and down and left and right.
When desire increases, caress your clitoris with your fingers and insert one or two fingers into your vagina to increase pleasure.
Alternate between rubbing and penetration to reach an explosive orgasm. If you use a sex toy , you could even stimulate internal erogenous zones for multiple orgasms. As with all the previous techniques, don't forget to use lubricant for optimal comfort. 😉
