Introduction
It’s completely normal for men to engage in self-pleasure during adolescence and adulthood. Masturbation is a healthy way to relieve sexual tension and explore your own body. The key is to practice it safely, comfortably, and mindfully. Here are some tips for men to take care of their sexual health.
1. Use Lubrication
Using water-based lubricants or saliva can reduce friction and prevent irritation. Gentle, controlled movements are recommended. Experiment with hand placement and pressure to find what feels comfortable.
2. Create a Comfortable Environment
Relax in a chair or lie down in a private, clean space. Being comfortable and free from distractions helps improve the experience. Maintaining hygiene before and after is important.
3. Explore Different Techniques
Men can experiment with different types of stimulation to discover what is pleasurable and safe. Focus on slow, controlled movements rather than forcing rapid or intense actions.
4. Use Props Safely
Some may choose pillows or other soft surfaces to enhance sensations. Ensure any objects used are clean and safe to avoid injury or infection.
5. Shower and Bath Options
Using a showerhead for gentle stimulation can be enjoyable. Ensure the water pressure is moderate to avoid irritation.
6. Consider Sexual Health Devices
For those interested, devices such as pumps or vibrators designed for male sexual health can be used safely. Always follow manufacturer guidelines.
7. Practice Mindful Masturbation
Focus on your body’s responses, avoid rushing, and pay attention to comfort and hygiene. Self-pleasure is not something to be ashamed of, but an aspect of normal sexual health.
