Orgasms are like snowflakes, each one unique and delightful in its own way. While many of us engage in masturbation, have you ever pondered the position in which you do it? We often fall into routines, finding what works and sticking with it. But just as different sexual positions can offer varied experiences with a partner, the same principle applies to self-pleasure.
Next time you're settling in for some intimate alone time, with or without your favorite toys, consider these seven masturbation positions to enhance your solo adventures.
1. Missionary - Rediscovering the Classics
Let's start with the missionary position. While this may not sound adventurous, it offers comfort and access. Lying on your back allows your muscles to relax, making it easy to explore your clitoris, vagina, anus, or breasts. Experiment by positioning your legs in the air or simply spreading them apart, which can enhance your pelvic muscle engagement for intensified orgasms.
2. Lotus - Embracing Yoga-Inspired Pleasure
If you're into yoga or desire to increase flexibility, the lotus position may be for you. Sit upright on a comfortable surface with the soles of your feet touching and your legs gently splayed open. This posture brings a healthy tension to your pelvic floor muscles, enhancing the sensations during orgasm. To make it even more accessible, try sitting against a wall or leaning back on pillows for support. This position allows for easy access and stimulation, making internal and G-spot orgasms more attainable.
3. Doggy - Solo Play Takes Center Stage
While doggy style is synonymous with penetrative sex, it's equally exciting for solo play. Start on your hands and knees, then use one hand to stimulate your clitoris, vulva, or any other erogenous zones until you're satisfied. This position also lends itself well to exploring anal play or penetration using fingers, a dildo, or vibrator. Remember to use ample lubrication for any anal activities, as the anus doesn't naturally lubricate like the vagina.
4. Cowgirl - Take the Reins
Cowgirl is a dynamic and active position. Kneel on your bed or any comfortable surface, straddle a pillow, blanket, or another soft object, and rock back and forth or in circular motions, simulating the act of grinding. This position stimulates the clitoral hood and labia while increasing pelvic blood flow, heightening arousal and intensifying orgasms. You can also experiment without a pillow, using a toy or your hand for stimulation, or try it in reverse or horizontally for a unique experience.
5. Squat - A Lower Body Workout
For those comfortable relying on leg strength, the squatting position offers deep penetration and a unique self-pleasure experience. Bounce up and down, incorporating a suction-cup dildo for added excitement. This position engages your muscles, making your orgasms more intense. If you're not in the mood for penetration, opt for a quality vibrator or use your hand while you rock and hop to your rhythm. This position can also fuel your fantasies, making it a versatile choice for self-pleasure.
6. Snake - Lying on Your Stomach
If you find that lying on your stomach works best for you, the snake position is ideal. Begin by grinding your pelvic bone and clitoris against your hand or a vibrator tucked beneath you. The pressure from your body adds friction, making the sensation more intense. You'll naturally gyrate your hips, contributing to a more active climax. Feel free to experiment by using pillows for extra support and comfort.
7. Upright - Standing Tall
If you've never tried masturbating while standing, it's worth exploring. Stand against a sturdy doorframe, slide one foot across to the other side for stability, and get into a comfortable stance. This position grants you easy access to your clitoris, vagina, vulva, breasts, nipples, and anus. You can use your favorite sex toy combination, explore your entire body, or even watch yourself in a full-length mirror for an added visual element. Just be prepared to hold onto the frame when you experience those earth-shattering orgasms.
In conclusion, there's no definitive right or wrong way to masturbate. What's essential is the freedom to explore and experiment, allowing yourself to discover what feels best in the moment. Masturbation is a journey of self-discovery and pleasure, and there's no destination—only endless opportunities for euphoria.
