Beginners Guide to Female Masturbation

The topic of self-love among women has been somewhat controversial. Still, the truth is that female sexual well-being, satisfaction, and gratification are important for overall wellness. Being able to meet these basic needs is an essential and beautiful experience.

Yes, women masturbate, and there's no shame in that. Centuries ago, when even the thought of touching yourself would mean getting burned at the stake or shunned by society, today, female masturbation is normal. While some lingering stigma still lurks in the shadows, society no longer balks at the idea of women making themselves feel good.

So, if you want to explore your body and your pleasure, where do you start?

 

A Beginner’s Guide to Female Masturbation

Yes, there is a recommended process for clitoral stimulation to help you achieve that satisfying American Pie courtesy of your efforts.

Just follow these simple tips:

1. Get to Know Your Body

Intellectually, everyone knows about their private parts. But how well do you know what's down there, really?

It can be a little complicated to figure out what to touch and how for your pleasure. So, now is an excellent time to learn about your clitoris, as it will be your BFF throughout this journey. You should also get to know your vulva, clitoral hood, and glans clitoris.

The most innervated part of your clitoris is the glans clitoris, a pea-sized fold of skin above your urethra. It is extremely sensitive to touch and the key to your masturbation journey.

Knowing your anatomy is essential because knowledge is power, especially when it comes to pleasuring yourself. Everybody is unique, consider getting familiar with your own anatomy in front of a mirror.

2. Make It Your Moment

The process of exploring your body shouldn’t be rushed; take your time, let your body build up, and let yourself feel the buildup of excitement.

Set the mood for your me time by lighting candles, playing soft music, and sipping your favorite wine. Spend as much time as you want making your skin soft and velvety, and then don your most extravagant lingerie or sleepwear. These steps are all crucial preludes for yourself—you are worth the effort.

Self-love is all about you and what makes you feel sexy and comfortable. And you’re not just preparing your body; you need to be in the right mindset, too. There is no room for anxiety and hesitation here.

3. Get into the Sexy Zone

When you masturbate, you shouldn’t go directly southwards for clitoral stimulation. The buildup is important, and it’s best to start slowly.

Turn yourself on with some self-foreplay. A woman's body is a rich field of erogenous zones, so give some attention to your neck, nipples, and inner thighs. Remember, masturbation doesn't have a timeline, and you can take as many detours and turns as you want along the way.

Don't feel pressured or frustrated that you're not getting aroused as quickly as you'd want. The vulva needs up to 40 minutes to be fully aroused. Focus on the sensations and map your body thoroughly to find the spots that make you feel good.

Occasionally, tease your clitoris with a finger and find out what gives you the most pleasure. Do you prefer rubbing it in a circular motion, side to side, or perhaps with an up-and-down flickering gesture? Perhaps a mix of all three?

You'll soon know what you like and use it to bring yourself to orgasm as often as you like. Let your body lead you to heavenly satisfaction.

4. Be Playful (And Naughty)

Let your body feel different kinds and methods of satisfaction. Sure, your fingers are a good start, but shaking up your masturbation sessions with something more exciting is always fun.

It's normal to have reservations, but crossing that line allows you to get to know the inner workings of your anatomy, and you'll soon realize how your body can respond to stimulation.

Here are some erotic suggestions to take your masturbation sessions into the big leagues:

  • Your brain is also a sex organ, so being imaginative and letting those fantasies become a reality can make your self-love sessions more memorable and intense.
  • Watch some ethical porn before or during your self-lovemaking. Many women also feel with their eyes; seeing something hot and sexy can escalate the senses and intensify sensations.
  • Invest in high-quality toys like a clitoral suction vibrator and waterproof vibrators. It may be uncomfortable to begin, but you'll soon realize how these discreet sex toys can enhance the self-love experience. Remember that these devices are designed to make you enjoy the orgasmic moment even more than you already do.
  • Do it in places besides the bed or couch—the setting also determines your mood. For example, self-love in the shower with your skin damp, your mind relaxed, and the showerhead nearby can make you do things you'll never realize you wanted.

You may get satisfaction from your partner, but giving yourself that gratification is an integral part of your self-knowledge, too.

Self-love is all about you. It’s a beautiful journey you should enjoy as you figure out what you like and what will take your pleasure to the next level. Focus on getting to that big O and enjoy every sensation and step along the way!
