Let’s Talk About Female Masturbation

It’s time we talk about female masturbation. Many of us are fine talking about sex with friends, but masturbation often stays in the shadows. That’s a shame, because solo pleasure can be deeply empowering and richly pleasurable. Let’s dissolve the shame, explore the benefits, and learn how to enjoy ourselves more fully.

Masturbating regularly brings real rewards — it helps you let go of stress, understand your body more clearly, and build sexual satisfaction. When you know what feels good on your own, you can speak more confidently about what you want during partnered sex. That makes connection stronger and pleasure more focused.

If solo exploration feels new, or if it’s been a while, go slow. Give yourself full permission to take the time you need. You might try different touches, rhythms, or pressures to discover what sparks your pleasure. If you’re curious about toys, experiment, but only pick what speaks to you. You don’t need anyone else’s approval — just your own.

Setting the mood makes a difference. Candles, soft music, scented massage oil — little extras can help your brain relax and your body open up. And don’t skip the lube; it reduces friction and often makes the experience smoother and more pleasurable.

Masturbation isn’t taboo, it isn’t weird — it’s normal, natural, and an important part of your sexual journey. You deserve to know your own body, to discover your own desire, and to enjoy it on your own terms.

 Regularly engaging in solo pleasure not only helps reduce stress but also increases awareness of one's body and sexual responses. Set aside some ‘me-time’ every once in a while (or more often!) and explore different ways of pleasuring yourself – after all, nobody knows your body better than you do!
