Masturbation for Men

This may seem obvious but you wouldn't believe how many requests we've received over the years to include a "How to Masturbate" for men. So, utilizing our male Libidians we've come up with some tips and techniques that we're sure not only our male readers will enjoy but also all of our Libida women out there who have been in the dark about this male past time.

Most men learned early on that touching their penis is pleasurable. They may begin by rubbing it against things that feel good (like pillows and sheets) or simply begin stroking it - some men prefer additional lubrication some prefer a dry hand. The thing with hand jobs is that other than the fact that having another person perform a hand job on them, no one will ever do a hand job on a guy as good as they could do themselves. We don't usually speak in generalities here but this seems to be a universal phenomenon. So, for all you women out there the best way to learn to do a great hand job on your man is to watch what he does to himself. There are so many nuances from person to person that it's unimaginable. Hand position varies widely, along with speed, angle, and motion. Some prefer to stand up, some want to sit, some enjoy reclining. Position may depend on the situation.

The main thing we discovered about developing a "How To Male Masturbate" is that we simply cannot include all of the techniques we came across. Men are much more socialized towards their penises than women have been towards their vulvas for many, many years. It seems that because men learn to handle their penises to urinate and the penis is a sign of virility, male masturbation has been more reinforced in our culture than female masturbation. Therefore, they've had A LOT of time to develop hundreds of ways to masturbate. So, other than the basics we'll just include a few trends here and let you personally explore the rest of them on your own...

Knowing the lay of the land is important.

Anatomy of the penis:

• Glans: The head of the penis
• Frenulum: The underside of the glans; ** the most sensitive part
• Shaft: The length of the penis
• Perineum: The area between the anus and the testicles
• Testicles: Where sperm is made and stored for ejaculation.

To lube or not to lube

Try it both ways and see what you like. Most men begin experimenting early on with hand lotion and soap in the shower. Do yourself a favor and graduate to one of the many amazing lubes out there. Maximus is a great thick lube for jerking off.

Masturbation Techniques

Full, single hand
Using a single fist is the most basic male masturbation technique. Simply wrap one entire fist around the shaft of the penis and begin stroking up and down.

Two Fists Together
This works especially well on men who have more length. Wrap both fists around the shaft and stroke up and down.

Two Fists Alternating
This variation used each hand one at a time but allows you to alternate. You can even experiment with one fist going up and the other down.

Two Finger Method
Many men who prefer to focus their stroking on the glans (head) of the penis prefer this method. Using just the thumb, pointer and ring finger from one hand rub the head of the penis vigorously.

Thumb and Finger Rings
Make little circles with your thumbs and ring fingers from both hands. Encircle around the penis and stroke up and down.

Male Masturbators

There are a great many different objects that you can thrust your penis into that will simulate penetrative intercourse. This can vary from toilet paper rolls to fruit (watermelon or cantaloupe). Other foods like the infamous apple pie from the movie "American Pie". Rest assured that if you can think of it, it's been done.

Masturbation Variations

Intensify the experience by adding anal or prostate stimulation.

• Aneros: An easy-to-use prostate stimulator.
• nJoy Pure Plug: Anal plug that slides in and stays put.

Vibrators take some of the manual labor out of masturbation by providing direct, intense physical stimulation. Some tried and true models:

• Fukuoku--fits over your finger, so you can still stroke, while getting an added buzz.
• Cock Rings add sensitivity by keeping blood flow in the penis.
