Everyone is different. There is no right or wrong way to masturbate. And if you don’t want to masturbate that’s okay too!
Masturbation involves touching parts of the body. These parts can be sexual organs like your breasts or penis. But other parts, like your face or stomach, might feel good to touch too.
For women, the most sensitive part of the body is the clitoris. This is a small bump just above the vagina’s opening. Rubbing your clitoris can feel really good. You can do this with your fingers or a sex toy. You may also like to insert your fingers or a sex toy around and in and out of your vagina or anus.
For men, it can feel really good to rub and stroke your penis. You may like to do this quickly or slowly or both. You may also like to cup, stroke or squeeze your balls. Or you may get pleasure from inserting your fingers or a sex toy around and in and out of your anus.
If you want to masturbate, find somewhere you can be on your own where you feel relaxed and won’t be interrupted. If you are using sex toys, make sure they are clean. The same goes for your hands.
Some people like to watch porn or look at sexy photos when they masturbate. Others prefer to think of things that turn them on, like people they are attracted to or things they have seen in reallife or on TV.
