The best masturbation techniques are whatever feels good to you! The key is experimentation—your masturbation journey is never over, so I encourage you to try new positions, toys, lube, and methods. 

Vulva owners often find it pleasurable to experiment with different clitoral stimulation techniques. From circling your clitoris to playing with varying amounts of pressure, there is a world of pleasure that can be explored with fingers, toys, showerheads, and so much more. If you want to try internal stimulation, start by massaging your labia and clitoris and then slowly work your way inside the vagina. Remember to take your time and use lots of lube! 

While masturbation for penis-owners may seem straight-forward, there are always ways to turn things up a notch. Many penis owners find that edging, the practice of coming close to orgasming but then stopping, can be a fun way to mix things up. There are also a ton of great toys available for penis owners—from masturbation sleeves to prostate toys to penis rings.
