How Sex Toys Can Make Masturbation Better
It’s kind of understood that sex toys and masturbation go hand-in-hand (pardon the pun), and normally we’re trying to explain why you should bring your favorite vibrator or dildo into the bed with your partner. But plenty of people don’t think a sex toy will be as good as their hand or that there’s no need for one when they masturbate.
No one needs a sex toy like we need food or shelter, but when you find the right toy, you might decide it’s a close third in terms of needs. But if you’re a masturbation purist, unconvinced that a sex toy can get you off as well as your hand, we’re here to convince you otherwise.
Check out how sex toys can make masturbation better.
Hit Old Spots in New Ways
Unless you’re the Flash, your finger or hand will never move as fast as a vibrator will. And no matter how good your hand feels against your skin, it’s not the same sensation as smooth metal, cold glass, or soft silicone. None of these are better than your hand, only different. And if your toy is battery-powered, what you feel becomes even more intense.
- A body massager on your clitoris can produce faster, bigger, and wetter orgasms.
- A pocket pussy wrapped around your shaft can give you a squeeze and grip your hand can’t.
- With a dildo, you can penetrate yourself longer because your hand won’t get tired (although your arm might).
Reach New Spots
When we use our hand to masturbate (and it’s a great way to get off!), we can only reach certain areas. Our fingers only extend so far, and our arms only bend in certain directions. Add in a mobility problem, and you could be even more limited in the sexy spots you can touch. But sex toys are designed to go to new places.
- Anal probes and anal beads will go deeper into your body than your finger.
- A curved dildo could hit your g-spot when you’ve not been able to do it.
- The right prostate massager may hit your p-spot better than you can on your own.
Get Out of a Rut
There is nothing wrong with a comforting, familiar orgasm when you masturbate. You’ve used the same technique for years, and you know what works. When you’re short on time and patience, your masturbation routine can be exactly what you need. But it’s also true that jacking or jilling off in the same way over and over again gets old.
Adding a sex toy to the fun forces you to focus on what you’re doing. Learning how the toy works and what you like can be much more interesting, especially if you find a new hot spot to enjoy. Once you find a sex toy you love, you may even start looking forward to your next moment alone so you can play.
Explore New Sensations
With a sex toy that feels good to you, you can enjoy new ways to masturbate, new ways to orgasm, and new ways to feel good. Maybe you like a long, low buzz of a bullet vibrator. Or maybe you like the feeling of suction from a Fleshlight or even penis pump. You might find that short buzzing vibrations get you off faster than a long vibration. Or that when you add warming lube to your stroker, you practically melt with pleasure.
Sex toys are about playing (it’s why they’re called toys). You can play with the toy and what part of your body to use it on. But you can also play with how fast or slow you use it, hot or cold, high or low. The entire point of a sex toy is to add new sensations to your pleasure. When you masturbate with a sex toy, you’ll learn so much more about what you enjoy and what gets you off.
Conclusion
There’s nothing wrong with using your fingers or palm to masturbate. Think of your hand as Old Reliable — it’s always there when you need it. But don’t let the familiar orgasm you’ve grown to love stop you from experimenting with your own pleasure. Try a new sex toy when you masturbate, and you may be shocked at how amazing you feel when it’s over.
