Masturbation for men

MASTURBATION FOR MEN

Men behaving sensually
Studies show that men are more likely than women to masturbate, but many men do not get as much pleasure from masturbation as they could.

Men have often not had "permission" or practice at being sensual. Masturbation is often done quickly and stealthily to achieve orgasm and get it over with. This habit of coming quickly may carry over to sex with a partner. It may prevent men from being aware of other pleasurable body sensations not associated with orgasm, and reinforce men's inability to prolong pleasure.

Good Technique
Most men masturbate by stroking up and down the shaft and head of the penis with one hand.
There is great variation in how firmly the penis is held and how rapid the up and down movements are done. Some men masturbate by squeezing the penis rather than by stroking it.Some men rub the penis between both hands. Some men lie face down and rub the penis against the bed.

Focus on feelings
Many men are not used to paying attention to feelings so the following exercise may not be easy. The objective is to listen to your body and to explore what you enjoy

Set aside private, uninterrupted time to relax and get into a sexual mood.

Make the room light or dark; light candles or incense; put on some music.

Recall a good sexual experience, construct a fantasy or look at some arousing pictures or videos

Do not immediately touch your penis - stroke other parts of your body that you enjoy touching.

Once you feel aroused start stroking your penis and be aware of the sensations produced by the touching - regardless of how hard or soft your penis is.

Take your time - play and enjoy.

Experiment with different strokes - stroke just the shaft, just the head, different pressures, different speeds.

If you find yourself close to orgasm, stop masturbating and wait a minute or two then resume stroking.Keep going slowly and only orgasm if you want to - there's no need to - only do so if you want to.

Use a lubricant (Sylk) on your hand as you stroke your penis - this will make the sensations in your penis more intense.
