How To Tips for Mutual Masturbation

How To Tips for Mutual Masturbation

Mutual masturbation may sound like an oxymoron. After all, masturbation is supposed to be something you do by yourself, and if someone else is in the room, isn’t that just called having sex? It’s true, but masturbation is also form of sex, and sharing masturbation with a partner, can be a wonderful way of sharing intimacy, and a great way to share sexual secrets. As with all sex, there’s no one way to do it, but here are some tips to get the mutual masturbation ball rolling.

Time Required: Mutual masturbation can be a five minute quickie or an entire evening of romance.

Here's How:

Why mutual masturbation is a good idea Because most of us still have some embarrassment about masturbation lets list some benefits of exploring mutual masturbation: Mutual masturbation is a great way to deal with differing sex drives; you don’t both have to be in the mood at the same time. Mutual masturbation helps you learn what your partner likes, and teach your partner what works for you. Masturbation is another side of you: sharing talk about masturbation and/or masturbating in your partner’s presence can be a powerful way of sharing a new level of intimacy

Get comfortable with your own masturbation. The first step to sharing masturbation with a partner is getting comfortable in your own masturbatory-skin (that’s kind of a gross image, but I think you know what I mean). This may mean educating yourself about masturbation myths, or exploring masturbation more on your own first. If you haven’t thought much about how you masturbate start to give it some thought, notice any patterns or familiar fantasy you use. Ultimately you should be able to show, if not talk with your partner about what feels good, so give your self time to figure it out first.

Wait until the time is right. Don’t pressure yourself (or accept pressure from a partner) to explore mutual masturbation. While mutual masturbation can be a great was to enhance your sex life, its also very intimate and exposing, and you should only do it when the time is right. If you’re unsure about it, think about what smaller steps you can take to share masturbation with a partner.

Talk about masturbation with your partner. Before you dive right in, it’s a good idea to talk about masturbation with your partner. Even though most people continue to masturbate while in relationships, many couples hide their masturbation in relationships . The conversation doesn’t need to be serious or heavy, and it could even start as more of a curiosity, sharing stories about when you first masturbated, or how you learned to masturbate. The point is to get masturbation on the table as a topic as a way of gauging both your and your partners comfort with the subject.

Honor the privacy of masturbation. The first time you masturbate with someone else in the room it may feel weird. Most of us have a way we like to masturbate, and for most of us this includes feeling like we’re alone and have some level of privacy. One way to get over the hump that first time is to keep your eyes closed (or if you don’t want to focus on that, use a blindfold or scarf to cover your eyes). With your eyes closed, as you start to masturbate it can be easier to slip into your comfort zone. For most people this is the easiest way to masturbate in front of a partner the first time.

Take turns. One of the best things about masturbating in front of your partner is the lessons learned about what turns you on. Each of you should get an opportunity to simply watch the other masturbate without any distractions. The first time you share masturbation, if it feels awkward, you might agree in advance to take turns, one of you starting and masturbating until you’re done, and then the other goes. While simultaneous mutual masturbation can also be fun, letting yourself be the focus of attention can also be both arousing and educational.

Mutual masturbation sex positions. Once you’re comfortable with mutual masturbation in both theory and practice its time to mix it up and play with different positions and situations. Doing this can enhance the sexual response you get from masturbation, it can also spark different fantasy scenarios, and lead to more learning for your partner. Try mutual masturbation on different pieces of furniture (if you’re always in bed, try it in a chair, in the shower, on the floor) and experiment with different sex positions.

Masturbating together. Mutual masturbation can also mean masturbating together. From the perspective of spiritual sexuality, the sexual energy built up with masturbation can be shared even if you aren’t physically touching each other. Some people make a game of it, and try to masturbate in synch so they finish together. If you don’t have a lot of time you might compete to see who finishes first. One of the great things about doing this is sharing your feelings as you both lie there satisfied by your own hands, but sharing an intimate moment together.

Masturbating each other. While most of us might think that a hands-off-each-other approach is what defines masturbation, dictionary definitions of mutual masturbation usually include touching each other and there’s no reason not to blur that line. This might include you focusing on another part of your partner’s body while they masturbate, or you might be right in the center of the action. You might use parts of each others bodies in your own masturbation technique. Or maybe you come in right at the end, to help out with the big finish.

Adding sex toys. Sex toys can add a lot to both solo and mutual masturbation. For starters, toys remind us that sex is play, and lots of times it’s just meant to be silly fun. Sex toys also provide a kind of strong, consistent stimulation that we can’t create on our own. Introducing sex toys during mutual masturbation can also be a great way to bring sex toys into your partner sex, and it makes room for you showing your partner first how you like to play with sex toys before they take over.

Playing with eye contact and talking. At the beginning, if you are uncomfortable with masturbating in front of your partner, making a lot of eye contact or talking might seem too intense. But if you find you both enjoy mutual masturbation and get more comfortable with it, adding eye contact and talking can take it to a different level. Gazing into each others eyes during any kind of sex play can be intensely intimate and hot. Sharing sexual fantasies or describing what you’d like to do to or with your partner while they masturbate can be another form of sexual fantasy role play . Read more at sexuality.about.com

Why have I gone off sex? Too busy

1. You're too busy

Between work, kids, the school run, catching up with friends and housework, sex probably sits at the bottom of your 'to do' list. It's not like when you're younger or when you first get together and you have sex whenever you can get it. When you get a few spare minutes nowadays you're more likely to want to catch up with the soaps or get a little bit more sleep - not having sex! Sex, though, is an important part of a relationship. It's a way of showing love to each other and a lack of it can turn some relationships into friendships. Solution: Choose a night or two a week to spend some quality time with your partner. You could even make a game of it and take turns to act out fantasies or try different positions. By planning ahead you're saying to your partner and yourself that you're committed to making the relationship work and that's sometimes the hardest part.

When It Comes To Sex, There’s a Lot of Freaky Ish Going Down

Clipped from collegecandy.com

I like to think of myself as a sexual being.

I like sex. A lot. I like trying fun new positions and having sex in fun new places. Hell, I’ve made it through 174.5 of the positions in “Sex 365 – A Position for Every Day” (the half was due to an ill timed Charley horse that left my partner bleeding profusely from the nose…) and I’ve even dabbled in a little role playing.

But with all of that on my sexual resume (note to self: make sure not to accidentally send that resume out when applying for jobs), it seems there’s a lot about sex that I wasn’t aware of. I’m talking weird fetishes and fantasies that get people – a lot of them! – all hot and bothered.

Sex Toys and Other Sexual Aids

Clipped from http://www.everydayhealth.com/sexual-health/sex-toys.aspx

Spice up your sex life with vibrators and other sex toys.

Sex toys are a great way to fire up a sexual relationship that has gotten stale, keep an already great sex life exciting, or find new ways to bring pleasure to yourself and your partner. Some people may be embarrassed or nervous about bringing sex toys into the bedroom, but if you first talk with your partner about his or her comfort level with the idea, you may find that you're both willing to try.

"Vibrators and other sex toys or devices can help bring increased pleasure and intimacy in a couple's sexual relationship," says Evelyn Fisboin, MS, a registered marriage and family therapist intern at the Mind Spectrum Institute in North Miami Beach, Fla. "Vibrators can aid in peoples’ sexual skills. They can also increase the individual’s and their partner's pleasure, and can enrich their sex lives," says Fisboin.

But don't limit yourself to experimenting with one sex aid when there are so many out there:

Ben Wa balls. These are a set of metal balls that are placed inside the vagina and vibrate when the two balls come into contact with one other. Ben Wa balls can be used by women alone, or by couples together.

Pre-shaped (not rolled) condoms. Also called novelty condoms or French ticklers. These shaped condoms can stimulate the inside of the vagina for better sensation during intercourse.

Penis rings or extenders. These sex toys can help the penis seem larger. A cock ring can also help an erection last longer.

Creams and oils featuring different scents, flavors, and textures can also be used as sensual aids. They can make the skin feel smooth and soft, and flavor the skin for oral sex or body kissing. They may also be used as lubricants.

Talk About Sex Toys

"Remember that having open and honest communication is key. Do some research, learn about the different products and sex toys that are out in the market. When you and your partner decide that the time is right, go out and purchase a sex toy and start a safe, fun, and exciting journey to increased pleasure in your sexual relationship," says Fisboin.

Self-service should not be limited to one sex

Clipped from cuindependent.com

Masturbation.  It’s a topic we tend to step over lightly, only joking about the guys doing it.

Maybe it’s because even talking about masturbation seems so taboo that our generation has yet to accept it as something that everybody has the option of doing. When conversation does take place about masturbation, it’s usually negative.

Often times, masturbation is incorrectly associated with feelings of disapproval. Girls quickly jump to the conclusion that the only reason their partners masturbate with Internet porn is because of a flaw on their part: that they aren’t sexy enough, or aren’t turning him/her on anymore.

In reality, masturbation is both normal and beneficial. According to an article featured on Go Ask Alice, Columbia University’s health and wellness website, (http://www.goaskalice.columbia.edu/0539.html) masturbation provides an outlet for individuals to get to enjoy their own body. It’s all about sex-positivity.

Masturbation allows both men and women to familiarize with their physicality, learn their likes and dislikes and share that with one another. Women can feel comfortable enjoying a sexual experience without someone else in the bedroom. Masturbation is positive self-exploration.

So who cares if your lover is participating in some private extra-curricular activities? Let’s join in on the fun, rather than worry about it.

“The type of erotica I watch depends on my mood,” Holloway said. “I find that watching pornography makes me feel good and also helps my relationship in giving us ideas, which is why I watch it with my boyfriend a lot of the time.”

Pornography isn’t something to be afraid of, and neither is masturbation. Girls shouldn’t be overwhelmed by the thought of surfing the web for multimedia masturbation tips.

Masturbation is a normal and empowering thing. And boys shouldn’t get to have all the fun.

“It’s something everybody does,” Holloway said. Read more at cuindependent.com

Can exercise improve your sex life?

Clipped from http://www.telegraph.co.uk/health/healthadvice/lifecoach/8308609/Lifecoach-Can-exercise-improve-your-sex-life.html

Our experts give advice on exercise and aphropdisiacs

Does exercise improve your sex life? If so, how, and is it really true that there are aphrodisiac foods that make a difference?

DR DAN RUTHERFORD WRITES:

Regular exercise improves mental as well as physical health, both of which have a direct bearing on one’s interest in and ability to enjoy sex. The boost of endorphins in the brain that accompanies exercise is followed up by an increased sense of wellbeing and self-esteem that accompanies taking regular exercise. People who feel unhappy with themselves, with their body, fitness level or whose mood is low for other reasons, usually find that their libido mirrors their general feelings.

Reversing that trend doesn’t require you to try to become an elite athlete. Modest regular activity such as a 20-minute walk five times a week will produce noticeable benefits. Remember, of course, that one’s partner’s needs are the same.

The search for natural aphrodisiacs has occupied man (and woman) for thousands of years and if anything worked well we would all know about it already. Chocolate has the reputation of being able to boost our brain chemistry in the right direction. A small amount of alcohol reduces one’s inhibitions. Oysters, basil, figs and a host of foods are supposed to have some effect. I guess the best thing to do is find out what works for you by experimentation. May you enjoy your research.

SARA STANNER WRITES:

Although some people vouch for the effect of certain foods on their sex drive – oysters, chocolate, bananas, avocado, nuts, ginger and olives – claims for the aphrodisiac properties of specific foods or supplements are not supported by scientific studies. However, a healthy diet is important for good nerve function, hormone production and blood flow – all of which are essential for a healthy sex life.

To keep these systems in working order, your diet should be based on starchy carbohydrates, contain plenty of fruit and vegetables and moderate amounts of low-fat dairy products and protein-containing foods. The antioxidants vitamin C and vitamin E are important because they help to strengthen blood vessel walls.

A high intake of saturated fat will elevate blood cholesterol levels and cause a build-up of atherosclerotic fatty plaques on the blood vessel walls. This can restrict blood circulation and impair performance.

Fatigue and depression are common culprits in sexual problems. These can be linked to nutritional deficiencies such as iron deficiency anaemia. Meat, fish, fortified breakfast cereals, nuts, seeds, leafy green vegetables and dried fruit will replenish the body’s iron stores.

Eating a Mediterranean-style diet, reducing calorie intake and increasing physical activity have been found to improve sexual function in people with conditions such as obesity, type 2 diabetes and metabolic syndrome.

Avoiding an excess of alcohol, which reduces libido, and quitting cigarettes, which constricts blood vessels, may also help.

TONY GALLAGHER WRITES:

It is generally felt that an overall healthy lifestyle will translate to a healthy sex life. As part of this lifestyle, regular exercise can only improve one’s experience.

Working out regularly will do a lot to encourage and improve your sexual technique, flexibility and endurance. For example, in a Harvard study of 160 female and male swimmers, those in their sixties reported sex lives that were comparable to those in their forties by managing considerable improvements in their endurance.

Exercise increases the blood flow, thereby increasing desire and function. Since exercise produces opiate-like endorphins, making you feel energised and looking better, this leads to better sex and helps prevent erectile dysfunction. Cardiovascular exercise helps by improving circulation and blood flow.

Weightlifting causes the body to produce testosterone, which is the primary precursor for male sex drive. Overtraining can have the opposite effect, however, so balance is the key.

Muscle-building exercises such as push-ups, sit-ups and crunches strengthen the shoulders, chest and abs, with obvious benefits.

Not such an obvious exercise, perhaps, is to contract and relax the Kegel muscles that form part of the pelvic floor area. This can improve control for both men and women.

If you are not inclined to go down the fitness road for improvement in your sex life, then you will be encouraged by the fact that many experts believe that feeling sexy and self-confident is simply a state of mind. So forget about work worries, unwind and do whatever it takes to relax. Read more at www.telegraph.co.uk
