It’s such a taboo subject. We can all remember that first time someone asked the question ‘do you masturbate’. You either acted hard and said something like ‘yeh all the time’, OR went for the timid ‘eww no why would I do that?’.

Whatever you have done or said in the past, we are here to tell you that you should masturbate!

Yeh okay, obvs we are going to say that because we are a naughty sex shop, but hear us out….

There Are No Side Effects

Over decades and even centuries, sex on a whole has created some weird and wonderful myths. Example, Queen Mary of Scotland (lol we know, long way back but hold on in there) was said to have a green and mouldy vagina because she never had sex. Which for a fact has never happened.

What we are trying to say is there is literally NOOOOO side effects from masturbating. So, forget all those scary rumours and get relaxed for some fun.

Can Masturbation Decrease Your Sexual Sensitivity?

In short, no. For some ladies that have sexual dysfunction, it can actually increase the sexual sensitivity – what a bonus.

The Overall Benefits to Masturbation

Here are just a few known benefits to a little bit of solo play:

• Relive of stomach cramps
• Relief of built up stress
• Relax’s you
• Helps with Sleep
• Can boost your mood
• Release any sexual tension you may have
• Helps you find your sexual needs/wants
• Most of all YOU FEEL PLEASURE

Why Should I Masturbate?

Ok, so the main big reason we think you should get one out is because, until you masturbate, how are you supposed to tell your sexual partner(s) what you like? Get to know your body and express yourself by masturbating.

Through masturbation, you can become more comfortable with your body which in turn can help you do have the desired sex life you need and want.

Ladies, listen up, for more exciting solo play, why not try a vibrator and some lube. It will definitely give you a tingle sensation and eager for more.

Adult Planets 5 Tips to Masturbating Right

1. Set the mood – maybe light a candle, turn down the lights, anything to make you feel more comfortable
2. Bring your Toys to Bed – it doesn’t have to be you doing all the hand work. Bring a Fleshlight or a dildo, whatever you are in to!
3. Lets get wet – lube is always the best thing to bring to the masturbation party. It can help stimulate and get everything going fluidly
4. Start slow – remember tortoise and the hare, think how calmly and slowly it went? Well don’t over do it like the Hare, by starting slow you can work your way up to it
5. Let your mind wander – play out those fantasies of your neighbour coming round to fix a shelf with his shirt off. Or your new girlfriend that wants to experience more with you. Don’t be scared to let your brain join in
