The Survey Says!…

We all do it. Well, 91% of British women to be exact, according to a recent survey.

A glimpse under the sheets of our solo sex lives reveals that 36% of women masturbate two to five times a week. And a huge 67% of you employ your trusty vibrator to relieve the horn! We’re glad we can be of service 😉

Masturbation was unveiled as not only a functional act of single living but a vital self-care practice for all. Participants reported the following reasons for rubbing one off:

• Feeling horny (obv!) (73%)
• Reducing stress (54%)
• Helping with mental health (23%)

In spite of the above benefits for reaching down there, 53% of you still feel a little bashful discussing the topic. So, let’s talk #sexualselfcare.

She Likes It Juicy-Juicy!

A squirt of lubrication before getting down to business is a great starter when it comes to solo stuff. A few things to consider here include the position of play and your personal needs. Perhaps you’d like a sensitive formula or a tingling effect for your clit to boost arousal?

Here are some female-friendly formulas from sexual pleasure brands Slip N’ Slide, Pjur and Durex to enhance sensation and boost moisture while caring for your lady parts.

Masturbation Methods

Indeed we all have a personal style for masturbation, and once locked into a preferred method, well-seasoned wankers can become surprisingly efficient at reaching orgasm!

The various avenues for solo lovin’ are as follows;

The Clitoral Method

Your fingertips are super adept when it comes to the clit. But clitoral vibrators, suction toys and bullets can provide unbeatable precision pleasure to this pea-sized paradise of nerve endings too! As you become more aroused, your clit will become engorged and sensitised with every graze and stroke against your fingers or sex toy. Signs of the big O are shuddering or pulsing pelvic contractions and a wildfire of tingles across your entire body!

The Vaginal Method

You can use your fingers, a dildo or a vibrator to pleasure your vulva and vagina during a solo sesh’. Here within lies the panacea of sexual pleasure – the G-spot (you may have heard of her) AKA the Gräfenberg spot. This erogenous area of the vagina exists two inches inside your pussy, toward the front of your pelvis. Rubbing this sweet spot may lead to intense arousal, powerful orgasms and female ejaculation (AKA squirting) – WOW!

The Anal Method

Use lubed fingers or a lubricated anal sex toy for solo butt stuff. Your ass doesn’t self-lubricate like your pussy, plus things can get lost up there without the right plug or handle. Anal sensations will stir up an unbeatable ‘filled’ sensation from deep inside. As you climax, you’re likely to feel full-body shudders as your sphincter winks in ecstasy. WARNING: Anal play could inspire a whole new sexual outlook. You won’t be able to put this genie back in the bottle!

The Combo Method

Try using both hands to play with your vulva and finger your vagina while pleasuring your clitoris. Or use your favourite dildo or vibrator while using the index finger of your other hand to rub along your clit.
When G-spot and clitoral pleasure are combined, you’re set for a blended orgasm of epic proportions that will leave you seeing stars, trembling and/or squirting. You could say that it’s a worthwhile effort…

The Erogenous Method

This one’s a little more out there so bear with… Reach for the massage oil and acquaint yourself with the erogenous areas less ventured. Nipples, inner thighs, ears, neck become mini portals to heavenly pleasure! Watch yourself in the mirror as you rub, tug, pull, tweak and pinch for a sensual ‘bolt-on’ to solo pleasure that boosts arousal for an out-of-body climax!

Masturbation Material

32% of British women say that they have never watched porn. Porn sites can be the wild west to a novice viewer, plus the hardcore POV of mainstream porn can be unappealing to some. However, that doesn’t mean that there isn’t smut to suit your tastes! It’s not for everyone, but porn can make for incredible masturbation material as it taps into a sense of voyeurism.

Swedish director Erika Lust promotes the aims of the feminist pornography movement to create a new world of independent adult cinema. Take a peek at xconfessions.com right now!

Not forgetting the imaginative bookworms who get off to the mental dimensions of arousal – Fifty Shades style. Check out literotica.com for steamy erotic fiction and fantasy.
