Sex is a journey as is self-pleasuring or masturbation. The first time may seem awkward, and even wrong for some. But there is nothing to fear when it comes to touching yourself and finding pleasure in doing so. It is a natural act and is more common than you think.
While you may not be able to reach orgasm the first time you do it, you will grow into it with time. Start slow and explore your body carefully. For women in particular, there are several ways you can get aroused. If you’re not used to it, begin by touching your breasts. Your nipples are extremely sensitive to touch and you can climax just by that. Next, be more adventurous and reach down there. Beneath the soft folds of the vulva lie your clitoris. That small nub of skin can bring you endless pleasure on nights alone or with a partner. You can also enjoy maximum satisfaction by inserting a finger into your vagina once you’re fully aroused and wet.
When you’re ready to experience even more, explore the use of sex toys for women. There are several things you can play with in this area as well. If you want to be more subtle, try a vibrating panty. This will focus on stimulating your clitoris. Some come with a small bullet that can double the satisfaction. Then there are different types of dildos. These are penis-shaped objects for insertion and can be used for both sex with a partner or masturbation. There are also the vibrating toys: your elongated vibrators and the egg-shaped ones. The elongated is the best for insertion with maximum power and thrust while the egg-shaped vibrators are for stimulating the clit.
As you grow into this journey of self-discovery, continue to experiment with different toys that are available in adult stores. Remember, there is no shame in pleasuring yourself.
