Through my work, I receive a lot of questions related to masturbation and I realize that this practice is much more taboo than what we think and is full of prejudices, which does not help to move forward on the issue. Today, I suggest you to get rid of the preconceived ideas to redefine the vision we have of this solitary practice (but which can very well be part of a couple's life) and to go through together the best ways to masturbate, especially through the use of lubricant. 

Is masturbation normal?

The answer is yes! Yes, 100%! Just as it is OK not to masturbate. Indeed, not everyone feels the desire or the need. This lack of desire can occur from time to time or over the long term. In any case, it is important to ignore injunctions in order to tend towards more self-respect. 

Masturbation is a privileged moment and many people make the mistake of comparing it with a relationship between two people. We can never repeat it enough: the pleasure taken is different, the feeling is different, the mechanics and the desire are also different. 

Indeed, most of the time and as an example, it requires less energy. It is enough to be tired or to have a big mental load so that this desire takes over. Also, masturbation allows you to give yourself a moment of pleasure the way you want and at the pace you want. I reassure you, there is nothing wrong with preferring masturbation to intercourse from time to time. It is simply human and many of us think this way. 

Also, it is important to note that masturbation is not synonymous with betrayal, dissatisfaction or deception. It is part of the time that we take for ourselves as well as a time of reading or leisure for example. Beyond that, it allows you to reconnect with your body, to get to know it and to feel it. Moreover, it can be a good ally when you experience a discordance of libido within the couple, but also a partner in a game for two! Yes! You can very well share a moment of pleasure by masturbating in front of each other or by masturbating each other. 

Masturbating with lube: the guide 

The benefits of masturbating with lube 

Using lube makes masturbation smoother and more enjoyable. In addition, it reduces pain in case of dryness of the intimate area. It is therefore essential to choose a good lubricant to apply to the genitals to achieve unparalleled pleasure. For this reason, I recommend the Glisse Sensuelle lubricating gel from Goliate. In addition to having a long-lasting effect, it is organic, vegan and 100% French! A must have composed with more than 99% of natural ingredients! In short, all that we like! 

The masturbation of the penis with lubricant 

For a successful masturbation of the penis, do not hesitate to pour a dab of lubricant in the palm of your hand. You can, according to your affinities, add a little more for a feeling of increased glide. Then, apply it to the entire length of the penis, from the base to the top of the glans. The lubricant will quickly warm up as you move back and forth. 

For even greater pleasure, feel free to use slow, sweeping strokes for long minutes while sliding your penis in and out of your hand. You can also linger on the glans + brake combo to vary the pleasures. 

When masturbating, don't hesitate to add lubricant whenever you feel it's appropriate. The sensations generated by the glide and the moisture provided by the lube will be even better! 

Finally, you should know that water-based lubricants are also compatible with sex toys (unlike silicone-based lubricants, which should not be used with silicone toys!) If you have some at your disposal and if the desire is present, do not hesitate to use them to make this moment unique! 

Clitoral masturbation with lubricant 

For a pleasure-filled clitoral masturbation, pour a dab of lubricant on your fingertips and gently apply it to your clitoris in circular motions. This way, you'll also lubricate part of the vulva and avoid chafing if you masturbate with your fingers. 

If you have an appetite for penetrative masturbation, you can also put a little lubricant inside the vagina to stimulate the G-zone or any other area that might give you pleasure (you know yourself better than anyone else, trust yourself!). 

Finally, you can also use the sextoy of your choice - a clitoral stimulator for example - to increase the pleasure you feel or if you simply want to take pleasure with less effort (that's what sextoys are for and we're not going to complain about it!). 

Precautions to take 

Since your hands are in contact with your private parts, remember to wash them properly with soap and warm water before your masturbation session. 

If you use lubricant, despite its 100% natural composition, always remember to test it on an area of your skin (outside the intimate area) to make sure you are not allergic to it. 

Normally, there should not be any concern but one can never be too careful.

Finally, remember to file your nails to avoid injuries, especially if you plan to use your fingers for penetration. As you can see, masturbation is a very healthy and pleasant practice. Masturbation with lubricant is even better! So, don't hesitate to use it, even during your intercourse to make it more pleasant, more fluid and less painful for some of you!
