Women (and those of all genders) can engage in masturbation through various means such as their fingers, hands, or sex toys to induce self-stimulatory sensations that can lead to orgasm or climax.
- 1. Fingering
Fingering is an increasingly popular form of female masturbation. Also referred to as fingerbang, manual sex or Knuckle sex, this form involves stimulating vulva and anus with fingers. It can be performed using just hands alone or using toys; and often serves as foreplay. Fingering can be deeply satisfying - many women reach sexual satisfaction from its stimulation alone.
For optimal results, use a lubricant to avoid friction and infections. In order to achieve maximum efficacy, it's also advisable to wash your hands both before and after fingering as well as before touching other parts of the body. Furthermore, it is vital that nails don't scratch against genital areas during fingering.
Most women who finger themselves do so by gently stroking their clitoris in a rhythm that brings pleasure. Lubricated fingertips may also be licked to increase stimulation. Some individuals even rub surrounding areas of their genitals to further increase stimulation. Some women also thrust against pillows, teddy bears or other objects until reaching a satisfying point before stopping.
- 2. G Spot
Women often find the G spot (the clitoral hood) engaging, especially when combined with friction and pressure. According to Marla Renee Stewart's description, it feels "like a little sponge," yet is sensitive and usually lies at 10 o'clock on the anterior vaginal wall; some people refer to it as such when speaking of its location on vaginal walls; however, this depends on each person." Women can masturbate by grinding against furniture or using pillows as surfaces against which their clitoris can rub up and down against; bathroom shower heads and tub faucets can also create lots of pressure while running water sensation can be particularly enthralling.
If the G spot is what speaks to you, try gently stroking and kissing it with your fingertips or using a sex toy. Remember that orgasms don't fit one-size-fits-all; experiment tightening and releasing your muscles rhythmically until you discover what feels best for you. Or stimulate both spots simultaneously for maximum pleasure: go all-out by stimulating multiple spots simultaneously until you discover which combination brings out the best sensations for you! It may take some trial- and-error before finding just the right action that brings bliss for you - so don't stop trying until you discover what feels best for you!
- 3. Nipples
Female masturbators frequently prefer flicking their nipples as one way to stimulate sexual clitoral stimulation, according to O'Reilly. "Touched against these sensitive areas, you'll feel them move up and down with each touch," she adds. This method provides full-body orgasms and works for both women and men alike.
Women may enjoy using a long pillow for masturbation - this easy, effective technique that targets the clitoris is completely free and you can change positions at will by rubbing it in different ways or applying more or less pressure to it.
O'Reilly advises sitting before the mirror with a tube of lube in hand and sliding your hands over various erogenous zones in your body, from your breasts and bellybutton down through your inner thighs and into your vulva, O'Reilly advises. Pinch, squeeze, pull and tug these areas until you discover which ones pique your interest most.
- 4. Clitoris
Your clitoris may look like a pea-sized nub with a hood at the top of your labia (labia minora), but at least 90% lies below the surface, according to Fleishman. He describes it as an underground kingdom made up of crackling nerves and blood- pumping vessels; with one leg known as the glans clitoris and two longer legs (creura) which resemble wishbones - made of erectile tissue which expands upon stimulation.
Stimulating the clitoral hood or crura with your fingers is one of the more popular masturbatory techniques, though you could also rub against something to cause friction that creates sensations - some women prefer grinding their genitalia into pillows and stuffed animals while others, like an advisor for adult toy brand Satisfyer, thrust against chair legs instead.
Starting by massaging it with circular movements, try speeding up or slowing down the rhythm to find out what feels best for you. Lubricate the area with personal lube for enhanced pleasure; if this doesn't do the trick, add more pressure or try increasing heat with a vibrator to heighten sensations.
- 5. Anus
Women possess a variety of erogenous zones and pleasure points they can explore when masturbating, including the G-spot, massaging your clitoris or massaging your anus. By adding massages or toys into their solo play session they can intensify the sensations and even cause orgasms!
Many women enjoy stimulating the cervix and rectum while masturbating, while for others this area may not be as pleasurable. If you wish to stimulate these areas during masturbation, lubricants can help ease any frictional heat while avoiding dryness or itching issues.
Masturbation should always be about what feels good to you; not about trying to emulate what other people are doing or what you believe should be "appropriate" in a bedroom setting. If some ways of masturbating that used to feel satisfying no longer do, try changing tactics or taking some time away from masturbation until it brings its usual pleasures again - then return when ready!
