Imagine how you feel if you discover a spot that drives you wild. Slowing down can also help prolong ejaculation time. It gives you a longer build-up to pleasure and more time for fun with a partner.
3. Try Toys
There are sex toys that are toys designed specifically for penises, but it may also be fun to play with toys designed for vulvas, such as vibrators. This is about opening yourself up to new and different experiences.
Benefits of Masturbation for Older People
Young people typically have a reputation for masturbating a lot, but keeping up the practice as you age is important too. People who aren’t having regular sex can masturbate for pleasure to increase blood flow to the penis, and to maintain sexual desire.
We often forget that pleasure and desire continue throughout one’s lifetime. Masturbation is useful for relieving stress, increasing those 'feel-good’ hormones, and giving men a sense of vitality.
The penis is an organ with tissues and blood vessels. It also has connections to other vital organs. Keeping the penis in good physical shape will help with pelvic floor muscles and the prostate and can help fight off erectile issues.
People who worry about erectile dysfunction can use self-pleasuring practices to reassure themselves and work at strengthening their sexual response. Practice bringing yourself to arousal slowly while thinking about the touch and sensations. The mind is a powerful tool for sexual arousal. You can use that to your advantage.
The Benefits of Masturbation
Penis-owners of any age will agree that the following are great reasons to learn to masturbate differently:
- Mastery of your penis. Need I say more?
- Learning to prolong your erection and delay your climax gives your partner more time build arousal during intercourse (though if they have a vulva, they may need clitoral stimulation as well). Your partner will like it when you take time to satisfy both of you. A speedy ejaculation isn't all that useful in partnered sex. We want you to take more time.
- Your partner will benefit from your experience of taking it slow and indulging in the sensuousness of your (and their) body. The person who is in touch with their own sexuality makes a better partner.
Sex is more than just intercourse. Learning more about our sexual organs and sexual desires is all about expanding our ability to achieve pleasure in many ways. As we age, intercourse isn’t always the best option. Learning to expand our definitions of sexual pleasure is one way to ensure that we can remain sexually active for years to come.
May is National Masturbation Month, so why not give yourself permission to explore? Masturbation has far-reaching benefits. And the worst that can happen is that you'll have a little fun.
