Solo sex is one of the best self-care tools around. It helps you connect with your body, release tension, sleep better and hopefully gives you some blissed-out orgasms.
But it’s easy to fall into habits and routines. You finally get in bed after a long day at work. You open your nightstand drawer and reach for your trusty sidekick. The familiar buzz, buzz takes you down to orgasm town the same way you do every night (or once a week).
It feels great, but you’re craving more in your (solo) sex life. Spicing up your sex life isn’t just for partnered sex. If you’re in a masturbation rut, we’ve got six steamy positions for the next time you have a date with your vibrator. FYI these are mainly intended for people with vulvas, but anyone is welcome to try them!
1. Grind with Me
Many people’s introduction to masturbation was bumping up against a pillow or another inanimate object and realizing “Oh, that feels good!”. Then somewhere along the line, you fell into a habit of laying on your back every time you masturbate.
While missionary has its place in both solo and partnered sex, sometimes you gotta switch it up, and get on top. Time to get your grind on.
Here are the dirty deets:
You can get warmed up by a little classic pillow grinding before reaching for your toy of choice. Then lay your trusty steed down on your bed. A little bullet vibrator like the MIA 2 or an easy-to-handle one like the scented LILY 2 work great for this.
Straddle your toy with your knees bent and legs behind you or with your knees up towards your armpits. Grind away and ride off into the sunset!
2. Mirror, Mirror
Social conditioning has made many people feel insecure about their bodies, especially when it comes to their bits. But in the spirit of body and sex positivity, it’s time to break down those insecurities and understand just how sexy you are.
That’s why it’s time to bring in one of your most standard household items – a mirror. That’s right, whatever you’re currently doing, you’re going to amp it up by doing it while watching yourself in a mirror.
The easiest way to do this is by using a floor-length mirror and laying either on the floor or your bed or wherever you can get a good view *wink*. Prop your head up on some pillows and enjoy the show!
We know it can be scary at first, but learning to love or at least accept your body in such an intimate way can end up being a huge turn-on. Pretty soon we won’t be able to get you away from that mirror!
3. Solo Doggy
One of the easiest ways to break up an orgasm rut is by trying something you’ve never done before. We tend to think of doggy style as solely for partnered sex, but it can be incredibly hot when done on your own too.
You know the drill: Get on your hands and knees, most likely on your bed to give those knees some support. It can be tricky to find the right angle where you’re hitting the right spot and not giving yourself the shoulder workout of a lifetime.
A great way to do this is by laying your face on the bed with one cheek turned to the side, and reaching directly through your legs versus from behind. Any toy or your hands works here, but to amp it up may we suggest a rabbit vibrator like the INA 3?
4. The Remote Worker
Working remotely has become the new norm for many people. Laptop life is not the kind of work we’re talking about here though.
A tantalizing way to let your freak flag fly solo style is with a remote-controlled vibrator. While this isn’t exactly a position, it is meant to inspire you to break out of that masturbation routine and try something new.
You might even try that something outside of your bedroom, like your living room, car, or even somewhere a bit more public. Ride the app-controlled IDA Wave to new heights of orgasmic bliss while taking your pleasure on the go.
5. Shower Sensations
It’s a classic for a reason. The hot water pulsing down your back while you pulse from within. The steamy sensations building inside you while your mirrors get all sorts of fogged up. Solo shower sex is hot, hot, hot, but is often forgotten about.
Luckily this generation of sex tech is built for this, thanks to the endless waterproof vibrators and other toys available. For an updated take on your classic showerhead bliss, reach for something like the GIGI 2 G-spot vibrator and turn the heat all the way up.
You’ve probably tried using your bathtub faucet while laying down, but for this one, we’re gonna challenge you to stand up and maybe even utilize that little ledge in your shower to prop your foot up on and get the perfect angle. Scrub a dub dub!
6. Your Throne, Your Majesty
The bed and the shower aren’t the only places you can explore new masturbation positions. A great way to try out some new angles and get out of a rut is by utilizing a chair. Something sturdy yet comfy like an office chair is perfect here. Just be careful if it swivels!
You can focus on clitoral stimulation here, vaginal or anal penetration, or any combination of the three! Sit on the chair with your bum towards the edge of it, lean back, then you can even put a leg up on a wall or desk to give you more leverage.
That’s the spot!
Use Your Imagination
Breaking out of your orgasm rut can help you experience new levels of pleasure, help you feel more creative, and sexy, and maybe spark some inspiration for whenever you have partnered sex.
These positions are just the tip of the masturbation iceberg. There’s a whole world of new solo sex positions for you out there to explore. So please, use your imagination, follow those desires, and get out of that rut! Oh and report back to let us know how it goes. Enjoy!
