Like any sexual relationship, things can get a bit stale if it’s all the same back and forth, and that includes masturbation. Excite the man below by making him feel special with some new masturbation techniques. Not only will it feel good now, but it can also lead to extra raunchy sex with a partner in the future.

Masturbation Technique #1: Slow, Cowboy

Yes, a man is the owner of his domain. He can get out on his own in a minute or less. However, how nice is it to do it quickly and then get on with the day? Not much. Sure, a quickie is fine once in a while, but a man should treat himself to a longer pleasurable experience. Instead of concentrating on the end result (ejaculate), he thinks similarly to how he would with his partner. This creates greater anticipation and a stronger release, but also translates to better sex with a partner.

Masturbation Technique #2: The Hand Screw

Begin the process by standing up with a well-lubricated hand. Then turn your hand so that your thumb is facing your navel. Wrap your hand around the penis and push the penis in and out of your hand instead of pumping with your hand. Be careful on hardwood or tile floors – no one wants to slip and explain it to an EMT.

Masturbation Technique #3: Do the Stop-Start

This is a technique where it works the same way it sounds. Also known as “border”. While this technique is for any man, many men who have ejaculation problems use it as a therapeutic way to increase the duration of sex. The idea is to prolong the pleasure.

Here’s how to do it. Begin to masturbate, and then about 30 seconds before orgasm, stop and let your body withdraw for a moment. Then start over, slowly working up to the point and then backing off just before what’s called “a sense of inevitability.” (Fans of The League will know this as the “vinegar hits”). This is when a man can feel his semen moving through his genitals. Repeat as he prefers and then enjoy the massive orgasm that awaits you at the end.

Not only is it a more intense orgasm, but it also helps a man control his erection and his release with a partner. The more in tune she is with his body, the more a man can control his ending of the sexual experience with a partner.

Masturbation technique #4: explore the erogenous zones

Penis-focused masturbation is fine, but explore a few erogenous zones from time to time. Balls, for example, can produce a lot of pleasure. Pet them, rub them or tug lightly and see how it feels. Most men forget about these hot spots when they pleasure themselves, although many men complain that the ladies avoid them. Take a look at the perineum (also called the spot) and see what’s cracking there. Experiment with each area that gives you a chill of excitement.

Masturbation Technique #5: Add a Toy (or Two)

Oddly enough, women are fully accepted and encouraged by society (well, most of society) to bring toys into the bedroom to enhance self and partner play. Men, on the other hand, don’t seem to openly have the same suggestion. Invest in some sexual helpers to help with solo pleasure. Consider things like anal beads, cock rings, and dildos to breathe some fresh air into the masturbation process. Fleshlights or penis sleeves are also very popular and create a snug fit that feels more like the real thing. Do like Lewis and Clark and explore this new land of toys!

No matter how a man does it, he must make sure that he takes good care of his penis after masturbating. Clean and rinse the penis well and follow with air drying or a soft towel. Go the extra mile and massage in a firm penis health cream. (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil that has been clinically proven to be safe and gentle on the skin) on the penis to nourish, protect and strengthen the member. Look for creams that fight nerve damage with L-carnitine and stimulate blood flow with vitamin C to keep your penis responsive and robust.
