At the end of a long day, especially during those early parenting years, I often felt completely drained. While the idea of intimate moments with my partner can sound appealing, the thought of managing someone else’s emotions and desires is just too much. All I wanted was some peace and quiet, and if that comes with a blissful release, then why not? Let’s be honest here: I can be a lot more efficient solo. I want to get in, enjoy, and then move on with my day. Honestly, masturbation enhances everything — it’s a great way to unwind at night, kickstart your morning, or reset during a tough day.
In celebration of self-care and personal exploration, here are some suggestions to take your solo sessions to the next level.
1. Create Your Sanctuary
Make sure you lock the door and get comfy. The last thing you need is an interruption, so set the mood to your liking and enjoy the moment.
2. Don’t Forget the Lube
This might seem basic, but don’t underestimate the power of lubrication. While many people naturally produce their own when aroused, a little extra can enhance sensations and make everything smoother. Always do a patch test for irritation, and remember to use the right type of lube for your toys — silicone toys typically work best with oil- or water-based lubes.
3. Explore New Toys
Whether you prefer something that vibrates or something for penetration (or both!), there’s a toy out there for you. With more people shopping for toys during the pandemic, now’s the perfect time to explore new options.
4. Indulge in Some Adult Content
The landscape of adult entertainment has evolved, catering to a broader audience. There’s a wealth of content that focuses on women, nonbinary, and trans perspectives. Remember, if it exists, there’s likely a video for it!
5. Get Lost in Stories
Dive into a romance novel, erotica, or fan fiction to ignite your imagination. You might stumble upon new experiences that pique your interest for future exploration.
6. Listen for Pleasure
Have you tried audio stimulation? ASMR channels offer sensual sounds that can heighten arousal without the visual element. Focusing on different sounds can be incredibly stimulating.
7. Capture the Moment
You don’t need to start an OnlyFans account to film yourself. Recording your experiences can add an exciting layer to your sessions, whether for personal enjoyment or to share.
8. Change Your Setting
Why limit yourself to the bed? Experiment with different locations like the shower, bathtub, or even the car (safely, of course). A change of scenery can bring new excitement.
9. Discover Your Erogenous Zones
Your body has countless sensitive areas. Take the time to explore and you may find new favorites that enhance your pleasure.
10. Tease Yourself
Take your time and bring yourself close to the edge of orgasm, then pause. Repeat this process, and when you finally do climax, it can be even more intense.
11. Keep Going After the Climax
Many of us feel inclined to stop after reaching orgasm, but why not continue? Touching other parts of your body can lead to multiple orgasms or simply extend the pleasure.
12. Prioritize Aftercare
Always remember to urinate after your session to reduce the risk of UTIs. If you’ve engaged in any form of penetration, it’s especially important to be mindful of bacteria transfer. Take a moment to relax and bask in the post-orgasmic glow.
