Masturbation and female pleasure are still surrounded by many taboos. If you ask a group of friends who practices self-pleasure, probably few (or none) will answer yes. Prejudice and repression of sexuality around women happen historically. This often discourages the practice of the act or even causes fear of assuming that they do. While men are encouraged from an early age to touch each other, women are taught to be guarded about anything involving sexual practices.
In recent years, with the spread of information on the internet, there is more openness to conversations about sexuality, but we still see women from different generations who are ashamed of their bodies and ashamed of talking about it. Discussing this topic is essential, as it promotes self-knowledge and the prioritization of our own needs.
Did you know that masturbation has many mental, physical and sexual health benefits? A special moment of intimate contact with one’s own body helps a lot in women’s well-being.
The sexual peak – reached with or without a partner – generates an electrical discharge of up to 244 millivolts and guarantees several benefits to the body and mind. Practice relieves stress and tensions, as it promotes muscle relaxation through the release of oxytocin, a substance that provides happiness and love.
Exploring one’s own body causes the social deconstruction of the theme. Masturbation brings the woman closer to herself. When someone decides to masturbate, they are also deciding to have more intimate contact.
Isabela Cerqueirafounder and CEO of a company that seeks to democratize access to sexual wellness products in Brazil and help people discover their sexuality in a healthy way, listed four tips for creating a date with yourself and enjoying all the benefits of personal pleasure
1. Self massage
How about starting by disconnecting from the outside world and creating a nice atmosphere for yourself? Remember that horniness does not always come spontaneously. So dim the lights, put on your favorite playlist and enjoy your own company. Do a self-massage. All areas of your skin have the potential to give you pleasure. Amazing, huh? A massage candle can be great for awakening your senses and making you explore your erogenous zones.
2. Explore the intimate region
After calmly feeling the whole body, how about continuing this massage focused on the clitoris? With over 8,000 nerve endings, it’s the only organ in the human body that exists just to give pleasure. A tip that is already a trend corresponds to the darlings of the moment: clitoris suckers. They are perfect for super intense and tasty orgasms.
3. Lubricants
The wetter the better! Use and abuse lubricants (preferably water-based because they are hypoallergenic) to make your experience even smoother and more enjoyable. Choose your product and feel your body vibrate.
4. Aftercare
Practice aftercare. After orgasm, you release a lot of super positive hormones. Take the opportunity to enjoy the moment and cultivate your self-esteem. You deserve to enjoy life in your own company.
