THROW YOURSELF A PLEASURE PARTY

-

Sexual wellbeing has come a long way since the infamous Rampant Rabbit vibrator. Now it covers everything from orgasm equality, to working out what really turns you on, to learning to have a better relationsh­ip with your menstrual cycle. And most of these things start off with a one-to-one session with yourself. Experiment­ing solo is a low-pressure environmen­t, where you can find out what feels good for you, so that when you are in a sexy situation with a partner, you’ll feel more empowered to ask for what you want. The other great news is that masturbati­on is packed with health benefits that go far beyond just getting you off. It can help relieve stress, improve your vaginal health and even help to ease any period cramps, as the orgasm releases your body’s natural pain relievers serotonin and dopamine. Here are a few

ways that you can help yourself get the most from your “me” time… ● Thank your body – begin your journey of self-exploratio­n with a little bit of body love. Take a moment to appreciate the things you really like about your body, so that you can go into it with a positive mind-set. ● Wear sexy underwear – your best underwear doesn’t just have to be for a partner. Wear something that is going to make you feel sexy and empowered.

● Touch yourself everywhere – don’t just head straight for your guaranteed orgasm spot. Take the time to explore your body and find areas where you can experience pleasure that you might not have discovered before. ● Switch positions – you would try out different sexual positions with a partner, so why not for yourself ? You can try lying on your back, on all fours and with your legs at different angles to find out what works best for you.
