After our article focused on methods for masturbation involving a penis<\/a>, we received a lot of feedback asking about how to masturbate and about female masturbation in general.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s great to explore that solo sex \u201cfeel good\u201d sensation. And female masturbation is something LELO has always been dedicated to enhancing through our diverse sex toy<\/a> line. But the techniques for female masturbation are not always described in explicit terms.<\/p>\n

With slang such as \u2018fingering<\/a>\u2019 and \u2018polishing the pearl\u2019 (not to mention frequent references to removable shower heads), it\u2019s no wonder solo sex can be a little bit confusing for some.<\/p>\n

Here, we explain some of the most common methods of female masturbation, so even if you\u2019ve had plenty of practice, you might learn a new technique of solo sex that feels good!<\/p>\n

Remember, there is no right or wrong way to female masturbation because everybody is unique (which is why there is a vibrator or sex toy for just about anyone).<\/p>\n

Why Do Women Masturbate?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Women masturbate for exactly the same reason as men; it\u2019s pleasurable and has many health benefits, helping deal with things like insomnia, poor body image, stress, boredom, or good-old-fashioned feelings of sexual frustration.<\/p>\n

Craving quality self-pleasuring sessions is a totally normal urge. You can grab your vibrator and do it solo from the comfort of your own bed.<\/p>\n

Did you know that the clitoris has more than 6,000 nerve endings, which is more than on the head of the penis? It\u2019s also the only organ with one job-sexual pleasure! The female orgasm is just an added bonus that has a ton of health benefits in and of itself.<\/p>\n

How Many Women Masturbate?<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The percentage of women who masturbate<\/a> can range from just 38% to 92%, depending on which sex educators you ask.<\/p>\n

What is important is that masturbation is a sexual activity that’s healthy and normal for both your body and mind. And you really shouldn\u2019t be concerned if you\u2019re doing it twice a day or twice a month as long as you\u2019re happy with your personal sexual experiences.<\/p>\n

Exploring Sexuality<\/strong><\/h4>\n

One of the most important parts of masturbation is to focus on your personal sexuality. While we can and do and do recommend masturbating with your partner<\/a>, masturbation is an important part of your personal relationship with your own sensuality.<\/p>\n

It is self-care and sex* combined and shouldn\u2019t be treated as less important than other aspects of your sex life. Also, any sex educator will say that learning about your personal sexuality will help improve partnered sex.<\/p>\n
