Best Ways to Jerk off: A Journey Into Male Masturbation Techniques
Even by present day standards, masturbation is still something considered quite taboo. Yet, in the past it was seen as something so bad and harmful that it was a sin to even think about. This forced many people to perform it under extreme secrecy, with very little knowledge about technique or safety. Naturally, this often led to methods that were poor, not very satisfying, and possibly even caused injury.
Today, ideas about sex and masturbation are becoming a bit less conservative. Masturbation is now considered a common and healthy practice. Experts have also come forward to provide instructions to make sure it’s done in a safe and highly satisfying manner.
Popular Methods of Male Masturbation
Men usually masturbate with manual stimulation of the penis. This can be done with either hand, but usually the hand that provides the most control will be used. The stimulation happens by applying different amounts of pressure, together with various speeds of movement.
The penis may even be held at various areas, like the shaft, head, or base. Each area provides a different level of sexual pleasure. The head, or glands, of the penis are more sensitive to the touch than the base, so this is often the focus during any masturbation method.
Every technique starts with a grip, and here are just a few of the most used during male masturbation:
Chortling – holding the head of the penis with the thumb and index finger.
Fisting – Grabbing the penis at the base and forming a fist around it.
Fluting – Touching any areas of the penis with just the tips of the fingers in turn, like you would while playing a flute.
Thumbing – Applying a variety of pressures across the head of the penis with just the thumb.
There are some differences in masturbation grip types, depending on whether the male is circumcised or not.
Circumcised men often receive stimulation by applying pressure directly to the penile shaft, which leads to a squeezing type motion.
Uncircumcised men still have an intact foreskin covering the shaft, so they tend to adopt more of a gliding motion to push the foreskin back and forth over the head of the penis.
Effective Male Masturbation Techniques
Below you will find descriptions of some effective masturbation techniques:
Stop and Go – This method prolongs the time taken to reach climax and provides a much more gratifying experience. It starts with gripping the penis in the fisting hold as described above, and then stimulation is performed by providing a steady back and forth motion. When climax is nearly reached, or semen begins to build around the urethra, then the motion is stopped for a time. This cycle is then repeated several more times. Once ejaculation is finally allowed, a much greater volume of semen is released, which can often provide more pleasure.
Fingering the Glands – Though often used on it’s own, this technique is sometimes done in combination with other techniques to gain better results. During the stop portion of the previous technique, it can be beneficial to start touching the tip of the penis with a few fingers while holding the shaft. Most of the movement will be focused on the head, as this contains the lions share of sensitivity. When arousal is fully reached, the process starts again and continues.
The Squatting Technique – This one begins in a squatting position with legs spread apart. Before the penis is stimulated, various erogenous zones are activated through touch, like the anus, nipples and prostate until an erection forms. Then the fisting grip is applied with the pumping motion. During this time, the penis should be vertical to the ground, so the pumping motion will be up and down. Since squatting can lead to discomfort or pain, ejaculation often occurs quickly.
Methods of Arousal
Along with these masturbation techniques, there are many different tools that can be used for arousal. Arousal is an extremely important part of any sexual activity and really enriches the process of masturbation. You’ll find some of the most common methods of arousal below.
Visual Components – Most men prefer visual arousal and they’ll typically use pornographic videos or pictures before and during masturbation. Some may find it more effective to read erotic literature while looking at images. All of these materials are available for free on the Internet, but some may prefer to have a magazine or movie collection to hand.
Arousal Through Touch – Every man can be aroused through touch. Simply touching or squeezing the penis will quickly lead to an erection. This alone may not be enough to achieve climax though. So some may try to enhance the feeling by using various forms of lubrication, to either reduce or alter the friction and prolong the pleasure.
Using the Imagination – Those who are more imaginative may find it more arousing to think of others they find appealing in sexual positions or situations. This can sometimes be a useful way to rid oneself of excess desire for a particular person, to whom you have no access too in the real world. However, one should be mindful of developing obsessive thoughts towards one person, so be imaginative and cast your net wide.
Masturbation is a wonderful and natural thing to practice, and certainly not something to feel guilty about. While you may think you’re doing a fine job already, it can be beneficial to gain knowledge on all the different arousal methods or masturbation techniques available. This can increase the amount of sexual gratification you receive, and can actually improve your physical and psychological health.
