Your Guide To Pillow Humping<\/span><\/h1>\n

What is pillow humping?\u00a0<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Pillow humping is a masturbation technique that involves a person grinding or rubbing their genitals against the pillow for sexual pleasure. While it’s most common for people with vulvas because it’s a very effective way to stimulate the clitoris, people with penises also engage in this activity.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

While it might sound like a weird way to masturbate, especially knowing that there are so many great sex toys out there that can give you toe-curling, mind-blowing orgasms within seconds, pillow humping is actually very pleasurable and can be super fun.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

And it’s more common than you think! So, if you ever considered riding your pillow, or you have been enjoying pillow humping already, know that you are definitely not alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Why do people engage in pillow humping?<\/strong><\/h2>\n

So, why do people hump their pillows? Well, there are a few good reasons for it:<\/span><\/p>\n

Easy access<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Most people with vulvas start humping their pillows early on in life and it’s because of how easy and accessible it is. Some might not even be aware of what they’re doing, or why it feels good when they rub against the pillow because they are young and haven’t had proper sex education yet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

But yeah, pillow-humping might be the easiest way to masturbate, and anyone can do it anytime.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Clitoral orgasms<\/strong><\/h3>\n

One of the reasons why pillow humping feels so good is because it allows for direct clitoral stimulation, which is the easiest way for most people with vulvas to orgasm.<\/span><\/p>\n

When you rub against the pillow, not only are you stimulating the clitoris, but also the whole vulva area, which can feel very pleasurable when you are aroused. So, pillow humping can offer a pretty intense stimulation for some people. What’s there not to like?<\/span><\/p>\n

Discreetness\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

While masturbating with sex toys is effective, pleasurable, and super fun, owning and using sex toys might be an issue for some people. First of all, due to age restrictions, younger people might not be able to purchase a sex toy, so a pillow (amongst other household items) might be the only way to enhance their self-pleasure exploration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Second of all, some people might live with roommates in an apartment with thin walls which means that most sex toys might be too loud to enjoy without everyone hearing. Also, some people might have privacy issues where they might not have a safe space to store their sex toys, which again prevents them from owning them.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

In these cases, using a pillow to enhance self-pleasure is the way to go.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Something new<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Just like you need new ways to have sex with your long-term partner, you also sometimes need to spice things up with yourself. Masturbating in the same way can get boring after a while, so trying out pillow humping to switch up your masturbation routine can be super exciting and sexy.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

7 Ways To Hump Your Pillow into Orgasmic Bliss<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Alright, it’s time to talk about the fun part \u2013 how to pillow hump like a pro! As with every sexual act, there is no right or wrong way to do it. Everyone will find that some things work for them, while others don’t.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s important to remember that it’s OK if you don’t certain ways to hump your pillow. The key is to find a way that works for you, and that might require a little bit of exploration. So, be patient and have fun!<\/span><\/p>\n

Panties or no panties… that is the question<\/strong><\/h3>\n

You can dry hump with your panties on or without your panties. The choice is yours, and both ways can feel amazing. However, panties and no panties might offer a different experience.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Masturbating through your panties<\/span><\/a> can be pretty amazing, so if you choose to hump your pillow with your panties on, consider the material of the panties. Cotton will feel different from lace, and it will impact how intense the stimulation on your clit will feel.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Cotton panties are much softer, so the stimulation will be gentler, while lace is rougher and will offer much more intensity when you grind against the pillow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

If you choose to go without panties, you’ll have direct stimulation from the pillow on your clitoris and the whole vulva area, which can provide much more intense sensations. However, the material of your pillow covers also matters \u2013 cotton will feel different from satin or velvet.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

So, as you can see, you have many different options here for different pillow-humping experiences, so play around with panties and no panties, and different materials to see what feels the best.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The right pillow is key\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

The type of your pillow will greatly impact your pillow-humping experience. While you can essentially use any pillow you desire and make it work, different types of pillows will offer different sensations.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Softer pillows might be better for different positions because you can easily bend and shape them however you like. However, because they are soft, you might not get as much clitoral stimulation as you’d like.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Harder pillows, made from memory foam, might not be as easy to shape if you want to try different ways, but they can offer a much more solid surface to grind and rub against. So, those who need more stimulation to orgasm might prefer a harder pillow.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Lastly, you might want to consider investing in a sex pillow. Of course, that only works if you have a space to store them because they tend to be large. However, you can even find inflatable options or smaller, discreet sex pillows that might easily blend into your surroundings.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sex pillows are made for sex, so they are harder and often come in shapes that are made to fit your body in different ways. Also, some have insertable pockets that allow you to insert a vibrator or even a dildo, which might give you more ways to switch things up during a pillow-humping session.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Also, it’s important to talk about hygiene. If you choose to hump your pillow without panties, there might be natural liquids from you that get on the covers. It’s important to wash your pillow covers often and avoid sleeping on them, rather consider having a dedicated humping pillow that you use for that purpose alone.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Stack the pillows together<\/strong><\/h3>\n

If you find that humping one pillow doesn’t do much more for you, consider building a pillow tower and mounting them all. This will create more density, and you’ll have a much more solid surface to grind and rub against which should offer more intense stimulation against your clit.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Mounting a pillow tower also puts you in a very comfortable, yet effective position. Your legs will be wide open, with your vulva and clitoris braced against the pillows for the most intense and pleasurable stimulation.<\/span><\/p>\n

Find the right position\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Choosing the right position for pillow humping is key! The good thing is that pillows are super versatile and you can manipulate them however you want to find the best angle.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Here are a few basic positions to consider:<\/span><\/p>\n
