How To Have Sex With Yourself
First things first. If you’re new to the masturbation world, you might be wondering how to have sex with yourself. The good news is, there is no “wrong” or “right” way. The basics boil down to this: Masturbation is about giving yourself permission to feel pleasure on your own terms, simply for yourself.
For some, that might mean pleasuring to climax with an orgasm; for others, that might mean simply exploring their body in ways that feel good. For instance, you could explore touching common erogenous areas on your body, such as your clitoris, breasts, and nipples.
For women, the most common way to masturbate is by stimulating the clitoris using fingers, toys, or another prop, such as a pillow or the showerhead. Some women also enjoy self-penetration with a toy or, again, their fingers. It’s also common to use lubrication outside of what your body produces (available at any store or online) to make pleasuring yourself more comfortable.
The only rule is to make sure anything you introduce into your body is clean. So be safe and have fun exploring!
