Seven masturbation positions you need to try

There are many different types of orgasms; in fact, I believe that no two orgasms are the same. Given that every one of us is a unique individual, how could they be? Although having orgasms is incredibly healthy and masturbating is a fantastic way to spend your time, have you ever considered the position in which you enjoy yourself?

Many of us use the same posture each time we masturbate, even those of us who are pretty experimental with a partner. There are those among us who are aware of what works and do not wish to alter it. For some of us, masturbation is a realistic task on our to-do list, much like cleaning the house or watering the plants. And some of us attempt to imitate the self-gratification we witness in popular porn, which frequently focuses more on performance than pleasure!

Have you ever wondered if your orgasm's nature and strength are influenced by the position you're in when masturbating? For me, I need my legs spread wide to cum. I don't see anyone disputing that our experiences of pleasure and whether or not our sex positions influence our climax. Therefore, it stands to reason that masturbation merits the same imaginative attention.

Try the following seven masturbation positions for size the next time you're settling in for some romantic alone time, maybe accompanied by your favourite toys.

1. Missionary

Professional master of masturbation, according to Maddie Dragsbaek, "Perhaps we shit on the greats too much, and perhaps the greats are the greats for a reason." Perhaps the most objective method to masturbate is to do so on my back. Let's be honest: missionary work isn't typically seen as thrilling or empowering. In addition, someone needs to decolonize that garbage and give it a new moniker. In actuality, however, masturbating on your back relaxes your muscles, making it easier to reach your breasts, anus, clitoris, or vagina. To better position your pelvic muscles for some delightful orgasmic clenching, try spreading your legs or putting your feet on the bed and knees in the air.

2. Lotus 

This will help loosen up the area gradually, although it might take some getting accustomed to it if your hips and legs are stiff. On your bed or any comfortable surface, sit up straight, letting your legs spread wide and touching the soles of your feet together. This popular yoga stance is also called the butterfly or lotus position. This type of leg spread helps your orgasm feel even better by providing your pelvic floor muscles with good tension. Lean back on a pile of cushions or use a wall for support if sitting up straight is too tricky. Sitting instead of lying down has the benefit of making it more straightforward to reach down and excite oneself, which makes g-spot and internal orgasms much more achievable.

3. Doggy

Although it is most frequently linked to penetrative sex, doggy style is also a popular solo play technique. Start by getting down on your hands and knees. Then, until you are, well, satisfied, use one hand to stimulate your clit and vulva (if this means experiencing a mind-shattering orgasm, then so be it!). Additionally, the doggy style provides excellent access for anal play or penetration with a vibrator, dildo, or fingers. Just keep in mind that since the anus doesn't naturally self-lubricate as the vagina does, it's always crucial to use a lot of lubrication while experimenting with anal masturbation.

4. Cowgirl

Being a cowgirl is an exciting job. Start by straddling a pillow, blanket, or other firm yet soft object while kneeling on the bed (or anywhere else you like). Rock back and forth while using your vulva to dry hump (or perhaps grind) the object. As you like, you can also roll your hips in a circle. The increased blood flow to your pelvis can increase arousal and orgasm, and this posture is ideal for stimulating the clitoral hood and labia. Try using a toy or your hand instead of a pillow to shake it up even more. Another option is to try it horizontally or in reverse.

5. Squat

Enjoying yourself in a squat position is a great technique to truly open up your vaginal canal for that deep penetrative action if you feel comfortable, depending on your leg strength. If you enjoy jumping up and down, try adding a suction-cup dildo to your routine. This will fire your muscles and release you as you bounce your way to paradise. Do you not feel like penetrating? Choose a high-quality vibrator or push yourself to the limit with your hand while you jump and rock to your beat. If your fantasies are intense, this one is also fantastic. You may see yourself being observed or tag-teamed (perhaps sucking on a second dildo for added effect). Yum.

6. Snake

This is for you if you prefer to masturbate while lying flat on your stomach. Start by rubbing your clit and pelvic bone against your palm or your preferred vibrator that is tucked under you. Your body weight provides the ideal amount of additional friction, and stroking your rapidly hardening clit with a back-and-forth motion is surprisingly exciting. Because it forces you to gyrate your hips, this posture is an excellent technique to promote a more energetic climax. Feel free to try anything you want; maybe the doctor has prescribed a couple of pillows to provide a little more support for the hips and stomach.

7. Upright

This is your chance to try masturbating while standing if you haven't already! Start by leaning against a doorframe on one side. After that, move one foot to the opposite side and position yourself comfortably and steadily. Happy X-mas! Congratulations! You now have complete access to your breasts, nipples, vulva, clitoris, anus, and vagina. Perhaps you choose your favourite sex toy combination (vibrating dildo and butt plug, anyone?), stroke your breasts and slap your ass, or go for something more daring by picking a doorway facing a full-length mirror. When you come so hard that your knees buckle, stay firmly attached to the frame's sides.

In summary, there is no right or wrong way to masturbate, just like with any other sexual act. The most essential thing is having the freedom to experiment and discover what feels right now. That is life's stuff.
