3 Steps to Mindful Masturbation
A hands-on guide to being present with pleasure.
Mindful masturbation is a lot what it sounds like: using mindfulness to focus your attention — in this case, on self-pleasure.
Adding mindful masturbation to your solo sex practice has many benefits, some of which can be truly transformative for your sex life. Mindful masturbation helps you:
- overcome distractions during sex
- prioritize your sexuality more intentionally
- create new mental pathways that enhance eroticism
- be more present with pleasure in your daily life
- become a better sexual communicator
You don’t have to have practiced mindfulness before in order to try mindful masturbation (though it does help).
You also don’t necessarily have to touch your genitals if you can’t or don’t want to. In fact, regular mindful masturbation has helped many people achieve extreme pleasure highs and even orgasms simply by breathing.
That’s quite a bit advanced, however. If you’re here, you’re probably just beginning your mindful masturbation journey. Welcome! Let’s get started.
