Masturbation: The Safest Safe Sex

Masturbation is quite often perceived as shameful, pathetic and even sociopathic behavior. Or, more accurately, MIS-perceived. Why shouldn’t pleasing one’s self be elevated to the status of eating well or creating a budget that will provide you with lifelong benefits? It is, in fact, one of the best possible investments into yourself you can make!

Masturbation is, for one thing, something you can do alone, without feeling lonely. You can fantasize about that hunky guy across the street, and you don’t even have to worry about his wife, or boyfriend. Afterall, he will never know you orgasm to thoughts of him slowing rubbing your back and kissing your neck in that tender spot right below your right earlobe.

Masturbation is the ultimate in safe sex! No pregnancy woes, no mysterious 15-syllable diseases, and no snoring guy waking up wanting breakfast and the breakfast is you (with all the bed-hair, morning breath and rush to get ready for work). You can ‘have sex’ with a different partner ten times a day if you want to (and, have time for that many solo explorations).

Another great benefit we often discount about masturbation is getting to know your own body and its wonderful, varied responses to physical and mental stimuli! A very useful tool in any relationship, isn’t it? You can offer any future or current partner learned knowledge about your body and how to elicit the highest responses from you. Who knows better about YOUR body than you? I say, nobody should.

Relax and explore your body. Physical sexual response is not limited to your genitalia. Try out different stimuli. A soft pinch, a slow caress, or a thumping, rocking ‘Big O’, any exploration is research in its finest form.

Make Your Masturbation Research a Joy:

Set the Scene – A quiet atmosphere may be essential for your self-introduction to self-pleasing. Lock the door, so you won’t be interrupted or distracted. Plump up the pillows, light the candles, maybe even pop in an Enya CD (or other calming erotic music), and have visual aids nearby (or in your head).
