While this blog post uses binary terms, these tips are good for anyone with a penis. For our gender-expansive toy tips roundup, read Tips for Trans and Gender-Expansive Folks.
If you’re excited to try these tips, you’ll be even more excited by the time you get to the end of this piece. There’s a surprise waiting for you!You've been doing the classic "up-and-down" technique since grade school, and it shows. It's time to expand your horizons on masturbation.
You probably know that excessive masturbation or porn dependence can impede your lifestyle and negatively affect your relationships. However, healthy wanking is all about discovering what makes you feel good and making it a pleasurable experience overall.
Our #1 tip? Temporary abstinence. Try avoiding ejaculation for a week, and the next time you pleasure yourself, you’ll see massive results in your orgasm. The results become even more intense when you try out unusual and exotic masturbation techniques. Some of the techniques below produce a vast range of sensations, many of which lead to explosive orgasms you'd never expect.
So, what are some fun ways to masturbate for men? This article will guide you through seven masturbation techniques for men and anyone with a penis that you can use to elevate your typical wank. Read on!
Two-Handed Masturbation
One-handed masturbation feels good enough. Why not try two? Two-handed masturbation is an excellent way to cover more penis surface area and feel closer to actual sex.
If you have foreskin, a two-handed wank allows you to touch the base of your penis while your upper hand lets the foreskin stimulate the head simultaneously. This provides an "all-over" sensation that feels potent and overwhelmingly incredible. If you're circumcised, a two-handed jerk off feels more like the classic "up-and-down" but with every inch of your penis stimulated.
Douse your penis with lube for the best effect! You can also up your stroke game by incorporating twisting motions that further intensify the "all-over" stimulation.
Don't fret if your length falls a bit short for this technique (5 inches and below). Instead, grip your penis at the base and masturbate the shaft like normal while your other hand palms the penis head. Massage the head in small, delicate circles to maximize stimulation and sensation. Once you're nearing climax, you can speed up the motions and get a rocking orgasm that'll curl your toes!
Come from Frenulum Stimulation
The frenulum is the small, stringlike bit of skin on the underside of the penis that extends into the tip, and it is one of your most erogenous areas, next to the prostate.
It takes time to build up sensation with frenulum stimulation. While rubbing your frenulum with your thumb or index finger works okay, using frenulum toys is the key to overwhelmingly solid and hands-free orgasms.
For example, COBRA LIBRE II targets just the tip with simultaneous pulling motions and intense yet quiet vibrations, resulting in explosive finishes.
If you want to up your game, you might want to consider MANTA. Unlike COBRA LIBRE, this nifty toy comes with a handle, so you can be more selective about where you put it. You can attach the vibrating wings to your penis base, which essentially turns your penis into a living vibrator.
However, it's best for frenulum stimulation, because the vibrations simultaneously stimulate your frenulum and your entire penis for an enveloping sensation. Personally, my favorite is holding it on the frenulum, then gliding it down the shaft and up again, twisting it sideways for added effect. I’ve found this method to provide the best pre-orgasmic pleasure.
Try Getting Off from Audio Porn
While firing up the same old visual porn might work, you shouldn't miss out on the other fantastic porn categories out there. We're talking about audio porn. If you've ever felt turned on listening to your neighbors getting it on at 2 am, audio erotica might be for you. Make sure you get yourself a good pair of headphones before starting.
These audio clips typically start by getting you to relax and then use binaural beats to put you in a sensual, erotic trance. Your penis begins to harden, and you take sharper, faster breaths as the clip becomes more sexually intense until you finally achieve an incredible orgasm.
The storylines vary, with most appealing to specific fantasies, like having sex with your high school science teacher or getting a handjob from your big sister's friend in your bedroom. You'll find that inserting yourself into the fantasy is easier done with audio clips.
Increase your orgasm likelihood by doing this technique lying relaxed in bed with the lights dimmed low. You might not get it on the first try. But it's worth trying. Consider abstaining for a week so you can do this technique brimming with sexual energy and sensitivity.
So, where can you find these audio gems? r/gonewildaudio has some genuinely excellent audio clips done by everyone from professional voice-over artists to beginners. I suggest checking the "top" category first for the premium, crowd-approved recordings. Enjoy!
Prostate Stimulation
If you're a seasoned wanker, you've probably heard that the male G-spot equivalent is the prostate, otherwise known as the P-spot. It's located around 2-3 inches inside the anus facing your testicles.
Rubbing this so-called P-spot the right way can lead to highly intense, all-over sensations that may produce multiple orgasms in a row with practice. You can stimulate the P-spot with your finger or a prostate sex toy. A prostate massager toy can help you feel the sensations much more easily and quickly if you're a beginner.
If you can't make up your mind what to try, start with something easy like the BOOTIE anal plug; it's a narrow and easy-to-insert (with lube!) toy that's not intimidating in size. The curved shape hits the prostate accurately and provides you with a delicious sense of fullness.
For more intensity, a toy like the DUKE prostate vibrator would be more fitting. DUKE stimulates your perineum (another erogenous spot, also known as the taint) and prostate simultaneously. It fits so well that you can wear it lying in bed while you're jerking off. Combining perineum-prostate stimulation with other techniques, like frenulum stimulation or two-handed masturbation, results in a sensory overload that'll leave your mind reeling.
Try Hands-Free Masturbation with VR
There's no doubt that VR's slowly creeping into masturbation technology. While adult VR content was sparse a decade ago, today's increasingly digital landscape has opened up doors to the game and video creators who aim to fill every pleasure niche.
Porn-wise, VR removes the user from reality and places them into a hyper-realistic experience that plays out their fantasies. As compared to audio porn, VR seeks to engage all your senses in your pleasure.
Hot for submissive play? The Dominatrix Simulator has that. Love furries? Download the Yiffalicious game.
VR headsets can range from expensive options like the Oculus Rift to budget ones like the Google Cardboard. Some users even purchase add-ons that release scents in the air for a much more immersive experience.
You can take your VR masturbation to new heights by throwing VR-compatible toys into the mix. You can find hands-free male masturbators, like COBRA, or supplement your stroking with a plug like B BALL UNO.
Nipple Twister
Lots of men have a closed-minded attitude about nipple play. They assume nipple play is just for women, and leave their own pleasure centers wastefully unused. Although men’s nipples are mostly useless by-products of human evolution, they’re good for one thing: turning you on.
Research shows that male nipples have more or less the same amount of nerve endings as female ones. Pinching, pulling, twisting, squeezing, and so on can seriously push your ordinary wank session to the next level.
During your next masturbation session, try combining a prostate or frenulum toy (or both) with nipple stimulation for an intense experience. The nipples may get sensitive after a while, so make sure to lube them up to prevent friction.
Going Bananas
Ever thought about ways you could maximize that banana peel? Well, this masturbation technique is the answer. Masturbating with a banana peel is one of the cheapest and most innovative ways to simulate a real-life blowjob. The inside of the peel reacts to friction by liquefying, which further lubricates your penis with every thrust. Here's how.
Get a ripe banana and slice off both ends. Remove the fruit by slicing the banana along its length on one side. At this point, you can try microwaving the peel for a few seconds to warm it up. That's it! You're all set to penetrate your homemade fleshlight. Don't forget to eat the banana!
Conclusion
There you have it: seven unusual masturbation techniques to level up your ordinary wanking sessions. Beyond the exciting information, here are some critical parting thoughts.
The journey is just as important as the destination. Focusing too much on ejaculation leaves out plenty of erotic sensations that make masturbation healthy and pleasurable.
And another thing: Use common sense to know when to stop, especially when a technique feels uncomfortable or fails to get you going. A technique that worked for me might not work as well for you. It's okay; we're here to explore and experiment.
Ultimately, do what makes you feel good, tick off everything on this list, and earn a fap veteran badge!
