Hi, I’m Kim host of the We’re Hard podcast where we discuss all the juicy details that go on inbetween the sheets and behind closed doors! Listen to the end to get a free gift!
Masturbation when done properly has numerous health benefits.
For example, it’s a great way to relieve stress, sleep better, and a great way to improve your self esteem and body image.
But did you know you could be doing it wrong?
I am going to share with you what not to do when choking the chicken! So listen up! as these practices will help your connection in the bedroom.
Now most of us know that Masturbation is safe and beneficial, but there are three harmful practices to avoid.
The first thing not to do when masturbating is; do it in a prone position or laying face down towards the ground. “That Simply wont work”
You also don’t want to do this while wearing clothes, as it may cause friction burn. However, for us Ladies thats a different story.
This can lead to low sexual desire; including, difficulty orgasming, erectile dysfunction, and premature ejaculation.
Next using a death grip during masturbation can lead to habituation. This is defined as “a psychological learning process where a person decreases their response to stimulation after repeated exposure”
This will make it harder to climax or experience pleasure during sex due to decreased stimulation. So loosen up that hand and relax, no more kung fu grips!
By Using a firm grip during masturbation can lead to reduced sensation in the penis. You’ll then desire an even firmer grip to climax, creating a vicious cycle that cannot be replicated by a partner. So use a grip that mimics your partner’s Vagina.
If you are experiencing changes of sensitivity in the genitals this can be caused by factors such as decreased testosterone, certain medications, medical problems, drug or alcohol use, prolonged sitting, or even extensive cycling.
Take a look at various areas of your day to day life and see if any of these factors apply to you, and if you’re still feeling less sensitive Take a break from masturbation or use lubricant for less intense friction, avoid pornography and external fantasies, and focus on internal fantasies instead.
Using hands instead of toys can provide stronger stimulation, try switching it up between the two to see what works best . You can also see a sex therapist who can help with sensory focus.
Did you know that you can break your penis? Aggressive dominance techniques, partner on top and to tight of a grip can lead to penile fractures.
Be cautious of injuries from improper masturbation techniques, but as long as you’re not having issues and can enjoy sex with your partner, it’s a healthy and enjoyable activity; if it starts interfering with daily life, evaluate techniques for a more fulfilling life.
