In the next installment of Mastering Masturbation, we’re here to share all the incredible things vulva owners can do to bring themselves so much more pleasure. Did you know there are different types of orgasms? You can have clitoral orgasms, internal orgasms, and anal orgasms! Each kind of orgasm can feel distinct from the other, and we recommend experiencing them all. 

Lube Yourself

Speaking of sex lube, you can use it any time you’re masturbating! It makes masturbation safer, more pleasurable, and it can help you keep going longer. There have even been studies that show using lubricant makes it easier to achieve orgasm. If you want to get into sensation play, you can pick up a warming or cooling lube and see where the mood takes you.

Get to Know Your Anatomy

Have you ever taken the time to really go slow and get to know your anatomy? There are so many places on your body, especially around your vulva, that can bring you pleasure. Our first recommendation is to get to know yourself better. 

That might mean stimulating your nipples with cooling lube or caressing your vulva without going straight for your clitoris or paying extra special attention to any other erogenous zone that you may have.

Your Clitoris is Magical

Your clitoris is practically made out of magic. The external portion that we all know and love is actually only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to the pleasure the clitoris can offer. The network of nerves goes throughout your vulva and vagina, meaning pretty much anywhere you feel pleasure in that area is connected to the clitoris. 

Fun fact: the clitoris’s only function is to bring pleasure! As far as research shows, it serves no other purpose. It doesn’t help with reproduction or bodily functions outside of just feeling really, really good. For that fact alone, we adore the clitoris. 

Find the G-Spot – It’s Worth Looking For

The Gräfenberg spot, known more commonly as the G-Spot, is actually part of the nerve network that makes up the clitoris, and can be stimulated by caressing the front of your vagina. Making a “come hither” motion with your fingers while they’re inside of you should get you pretty close to it!

Since it’s part of the clitoral network, it’s full of nerve endings that will make your toes curl when you stimulate it. There are even G-Spot vibrators that are great at stimulating the G-Spot!

Butt Stuff is Great Stuff

While we know anal stimulation certainly isn’t for everyone, if it’s something you’re curious about, it’s worth giving it a try! You can feel amazing things from simply stimulating the rim of your anus. You can do that with the tip of a vibrator or by rubbing your fingers around and against it. 

If you want to go even further with anal, there are vibrating anal toys and cute anal plugs and thrilling anal beads that you can use to make the process easier and more fun. Don’t forget to use lube! It’s especially important when experimenting with anal, since your anus has no natural lubrication like the vulva and vagina produce.   

Our Favorite Toys

There are so many toys that are amazing for masturbating when you have a vulva that it’s difficult to pin down just a few, but we’re going to try our best! Some of our favorites include wands, rabbit vibrators, vibrating underwear, and suction vibrators. 

Wand Toys

A wand sex toy is a perfect toy if you want something both subtle and multifunctional. Wand toys can be used on any part of your body, whether you want to use it to stimulate your nipples, or vulva, or anywhere else that you love to be touched. They can also double as a back massager and many of them have multiple settings, including different speeds and pulses, and some have heating elements! 

Rabbit Vibes

We can never get enough of rabbit vibrators. They’re vibrators that simultaneously stimulate you internally and externally, meaning your whole clitoral network is getting loved up at the same time. You can insert them and thrust with vibration on whatever intensity you enjoy, and the external portion will stay against your clitoris, vibrating and thrilling you in all the best ways.

Vibrating Undies

Vibrating underwear might be one of the most slept-on toys in the entire adult toy industry. Often they’re worn under clothes on a night out while your partner controls them, thrilling you with vibrations at unexpected moments, you can also use them on your own!

You can put them on to have some hands-free fun, letting them rumble against your most sensitive places while you use your hands to toy with your nipples or read erotica or anything else you think of!

Suction Vibes

Suction vibrators are amazing because they simulate the feeling of oral sex without needing to have a partner there with you! Use some warming lube to really get that up-close-and-personal sensation and you just might never need another lover again ;) 

No matter what you do this month, try to find time to focus on yourself and your pleasure. Happy MAYsturbation Month, everyone.
