It's about time you know what you really like.
Masturbation should not be a taboo topic for women: Not only does it feel amazing, but it can also improve your health , sleep, and sex life. Whether you struggle to reach orgasm , are a busy mom who needs to do the deed faster, or are simply looking for a different masturbation technique to spice things up, these tips will sharpen your solo sex skills.
Assuming you're familiar with the clitoris , it's time you get to know the more elusive G-spot. Located on the upper wall of the vagina, about two to three inches inside the vaginal opening, it swells up when you are already aroused, says Courtney Cleman, founder of the V. Club . Stimulating it can boost the sensations that can help you orgasm that much faster, she adds.
While there are G-spot vibrators that help get the job done, to find it manually, insert one or two fingers into your vagina, palm facing down, and curl your fingers back. When you start to feel stimulated , you've hit the jackpot.
Your clitoris and G-spot may be the main events during masturbation , but paying attention to the rest of your body can enhance your experience, Cleman says.
“Run your hands all over your body, as your partner would do, and give attention to your breasts, hips, and other areas where being touched turns you on ,” she suggests. “Like sex, masturbation will be more fulfilling if you make it a full-body experience.”
Bringing your legs together just as you’re approaching orgasm will make masturbation (and sex) more pleasurable. Cleman says doing so increases stimulation to the clitoral organ, which is actually six to eight inches long, on average. "[It] will give a sudden boost to your sensations, and can push you over the edge immediately," she says. "Just don’t do it too early when your body can’t possibly orgasm yet.”
When you want to masturbate but don't have much time, Cleman says it's best to hone in on a single sexual fantasy and stick to it. "The brain is our largest sex organ, so to masturbate faster, try to stay in the moment,” she explains. “Focusing your mind on the pleasure that you are experiencing will make orgasm stronger and bring it on faster.”
Even the smallest distraction can keep you from reaching orgasm, which is why setting the mood can be one of the most important steps you take. Goddess Cecilia, a sexuality and pleasure educator at O. School Pleasure Professional , suggests having a couple of stimuli always at the ready. "A favorite descriptive paragraph in a steamy story, sexy images, or videos for your eyes only [are all great ideas," she says. Even if you don't have a ton of time to spare, making these stimuli a part of your masturbation can help put your brain in a state that's primed for pleasure, making it all the more likely to have an orgasm .
Lubricant is not meant to be reserved for penetrative sex; using it is an easy way to get you to orgasm faster, Cecilia says. Just make sure you purchase one that works best for your body — if you have a history of frequent UTIs , yeast infections , bacterial vaginosis, or you just feel more sensitive down there, Cecilia says a more natural, water-based lubricant is likely to work well as it has fewer ingredients that could potentially be irritating.
Sex toys are as diverse as women's desires, so it's important that you try out a variety of them to discover which toy textures and sensations you enjoy most. One kind that Cecilia is a big fan of? Toys that rumble. "[They] tend to have better stimulation and produce better orgasms,” she says.
But every woman is different, and there's such a wide variety of products out there that provide different types of stimulation — oscillation, rotation, and pulsations of air, for example. "Once you know what type your body responds well to, that can be your go-to toy that brings you to bliss with minimal effort," Cecilia says.
Masturbating in water can instantly relax your body and mind, and there’s no shortage of sex toys that are perfect for water play.
“Try a suction dildo that attaches to the surface of the tub,” says Jess O’Reilly, Ph.D., sexologist and host of the Sex With Dr. Jess podcast . “You can adjust the angle and height, [as well as] the rhythm and depth to suit your needs.”
O'Reilly's top pick: the We-Vibe Wish . "It fits perfectly around the entire surface of your lips to stimulate the inner and outer parts of your clitoris," she says.
When you masturbate in the shower , changing the temperature by a few degrees can make a world of difference. Run a warm shower and, while the hot water cascades over you, press your frontside against the cold wall and touch yourself,” O’Reilly suggests. Focus on how your clitoris responds to the sensations of the cool wall and the hot water in succession, as the contrast may bring you to the brink faster.
Many women are verbal, so it's more likely they'll be turned on by steamy passages in books than by visuals or their own sexual fantasies, O'Reilly says. That's why she suggests stashing a few sexy books by your bed, and reading a chapter or two before you masturbate. Then, "if the mood strikes you, you can drop the book and get yourself off using your fingers and fantasy alone," she adds.
Always having sex i n the same position can get boring, and the same goes for masturbation. And while there's nothing wrong with doing it the same way for years, mixing it up can bring you to new levels of pleasure.
“New positions lead to new angles and new, often more pleasurable, sensations as your body is awakened by the thrill of anticipation and the unknown," O'Reilly says. Need some inspiration? “Try squatting, lying on your stomach, standing, or putting one leg up on the side of the tub or bed,” she suggests.
If there's no time to get off before you get on with your day, don't wait until you're back in the bedroom to get in the mood. You can actually wear a discreet vibrator beneath your clothes. The We-Vibe Jive , for example, is designed to deliver rumbly vibrations to your G-spot, and the thin outer arm fits discreetly in your underwear so no one will be the wiser, O'Reilly says. "You can control it from your phone, or give your partner the power to control it from theirs." Sounds like the making for a fun sex game , if you ask us.
It's not super well-known, but some medications can really mess with your arousal and libido. Antidepressants like Prozac, hormones, and pills that treat hypertension are common culprits, O'Reilly says, so if you've been experiencing a delay in orgasm since starting a new prescription, talk to your doctor about alternatives with fewer sexual side effects.
If sex toys aren't really your style, there's good news: There are plenty of props around your house that can do the job just as well. "Rub up against the side of the mattress, a firm pillow or the bathroom sink,” O’Reilly suggests. “Humping furniture may not be your ultimate fantasy, but it can be expedient!”
A few masturbation tips are really helpful, but at the end of the day, what feels good is unique to you. So try not to get too caught up in what you see in porn or hear from friends. "You can be inspired by other people, but ultimately you have to experiment to discover what turns you on and gets you off,” O’Reilly says. “Some people prefer penetration, and others like to rub themselves off. Some desire intense vibrations; others respond to the gentle flow of warm water. There is no one-size-fits-all approach to masturbation.”
Moral of the story: relax — and have fun.

Why trust us?
Don’t act like you have plans tonight.
You’re home, you’ve got a few hours all to yourself, and you’re hornier than a rhino dressed as a devil for Halloween. What’s a woman to do? Masturbate, of course!
Whether you incorporate a sex toy or go the ole-fashioned finger route (no wrong answers here!), solo play isn't just a fun way to spend "me time," it’s also legit good for you —more on that in a sec.
Plus, it's good for your sexual partner(s), too. Because you're able to experiment on your own, masturbation is a low-pressure way to learn what feels good, explains Megan Fleming, PhD, a psychologist and sex therapist. Maybe you realize clitoral stimulation is absolute must to climax, or perhaps you discover deep penetration is what gets you to O-town (and beyond). "Relay that insight to your partner and you’re destined for better partner sex, including orgasms, which promote bonding," says Fleming.
Need another reason to enjoy your ~alone time~? I've got four...
The fact that it feels phenom is reason enough to get down with your bad self. But the health perks will have you reaching into your panties faster than you can say "vibrator." These perks include:
Before you can "rock your body" Justin Timberlake–style, you first have to know your body. "It's essential for women to be able to identify their anatomy," says Janet Brito , PhD, a licensed psychologist and certified sex therapist in Honolulu.
That’s why she recommends using a combination of diagrams and hands-on learning to suss out what's going on down there...
Admit it: The last time you looked at a diagram of the female anatomy was during your seventh grade health class (just me?). Spend some time looking at and even memorizing it. As you do, be sure to say the anatomical words out loud. In a world that undervalues vulva-owners, doing so can be an act of power.
Unless you’re in Cirque du Soleil, getting a real good look at your vulva and vagina is going to be physically impossible. That’s why Brito recommends beginning your personal investigation with the basics, which is to say, a hand-held mirror. It’s really the best way to see what your vulva *actually* looks like, she says.
The clitoris (a.k.a. your best friend) is where the masturbation magic usually happens. Home to a whopping 15,000 (!) nerve endings, it should come as no surprise that some 37 percent to 73 percent of vulva-owners NEED clitoral stimulation to orgasm, according to research . Depending on your anatomy, finding your clit may be easier said than done, but it's worth the effort.
True, odds are high that you’ll need clitoral stimulation to cross the finish line. But that doesn’t mean touching allllll the other parts of your vulva can’t feel good, too. Brito suggests taking your time to explore and name all parts of your body to figure out what feels good and what's just meh. "Touch gently and, with curiosity, label the parts that feel most sensitive, arousing, ticklish, and uncomfortable,” she says.
"At best, we’re told to never discuss [masturbation] and keep it to the confines of our bedrooms. At worst, we’re taught to avoid it altogether," Hall explains.
The result of these (lack of) teachings leave some masturbators with a challenge to overcome: Believing that masturbating is wrong, says Fleming. But nothing could be further from the case. "There is absolutely nothing shameful about self-pleasuring, and there’s nothing to feel guilty about after you do it," she says.
If shame comes up for you, "start by owning that that’s what you’re experiencing," she says. "Then, tell yourself that those feelings are a result of internalized sex negativity." If a self pep-talk isn’t enough (it may not be!), she recommends seeing a certified sex therapist. They specialize in replacing what she calls "the wet blanket of shame" with pleasure.
You change the sheets, light candles, and cue up your fave sex playlist when you're about to get it on with another person, so why not put the same amount of effort into DIY time?
It's kinda hard to feel sexy if your room's covered in month-old laundry and yesterday's takeout containers. So, "start by creating a relaxing, comfortable space in your home, full of privacy and free of interruption," says Brito.
Plus, she notes, Marie Kondo–ing your space can help clear your mind, giving you more room to focus on identifying what feels pleasurable and, consequently, increasing your chances of having that big O.
This one might seem obvious, but so many people skip it. Locking your door, even if you're home alone, can clear your brain of any worry of someone barging in. Sometimes, that's all your mind really needs to get centered.
It's not that it's so much about secrecy but about privacy, explains Holly Richmond , PhD, a certified sex therapist and somatic psychologist: "We all deserve privacy. Feeling like you have to keep things secret and hurrying up or hiding typically creates shame." By locking your door, you can create your own private space and, in turn, feel more comfortable...and confident.
In some cases, though, you might want someone to walk in on you, says Richmond. After all, it's totally hot. If this is your sexual fantasy, talk it out. Tell your partner: "Hey, I'm a voyeur," or "The idea of catching you doing this really turns me on. Can we set up a scene in which we make this happen?"
Masturbation is "me time"—plain and simple. Do your best to pretend the outside world doesn't exist (buh bye, phone) and tune into what's going on inside your bod. "A woman who can practice mindfulness is much more likely to reach orgasm sooner," says Dr. Millheiser. "While masturbating, if you find that your mind is wandering off, recognize that and gently bring it back to focus."
Using your phone to explore erotic content (more on this below)? Put that thang on Do Not Disturb. Last thing you want is a message from your boss popping up when you’re about to finish…
Everyone has hang-ups that make them feel lesser-than when it comes to their bodies. Let that ish go, especially when you're masturbating!
Rather than dwelling on parts you're not totally satisfied with (like, say, your stomach), focus on the sensuality of your curves and how capable your body is of pleasure. Research links having a positive body image with greater sexual satisfaction. So, far from being frivolous, loving your body can help you, ya know, love on your body.
Why save your sexiest underwear for an audience? If the black lace bra you haven't worn since V-day makes you feel sexy, or that pair of Calvin Klein briefs brings you gender euphoria, put ‘em on! Taking them off can be part of the scene too, as Amy Levine, sex coach and founder of Ignite your Pleasure previously told Women's Health . As each article comes off, think about what you love most about your body to get all kinds of turned on, she says.
There's no right or wrong way to touch yourself when you masturbate. But this list of all the different ways to masturbate may give you some new tricks that’ll take your self-made orgasm to the next level. Let's begin.
Instead of going from zero to vagina, spend time romancing your non-genital erogenous zones. There’s no rush!
"It's not all about the genitals," Richmond explains. "The best sex is sensation-based, when we're in our bodies and not in our heads." It's all about enjoying the senses, tastes, sounds, and smells of eroticism, versus just grabbing a toy and mindlessly going at it.
"If you are in the early stages [of masturbating], you want to get to know the areas of your body that make you tick,” adds Dr. Millheiser. And the vulva and vagina aren’t the only areas that can turn you on, she says.
"Starting with your fingers is the best way to engage in masturbation," Dr. Millheiser says. Plus, you'll simulate the feeling of a partner's fingers around your vagina, which can help you tap into the right mindset. From there, you can build up the sensation in other ways (more on that in a sec).
If you've just pulled into the self-service station, you might as well try penetrative masturbation—using your fingers, a dildo, or a phallic-shaped vibrator—to see if you like it. If you don't, NBD, you're still one step closer to knowing what you *do* like.
“You don’t have to go inside the ass to enjoy its pleasure-potential,” Fleming says. The entrance of the anus has as many nerve endings as the tip of the penis (about 4,000).
When you begin “exploring anal masturbation, start externally and get comfortable and familiar with the sensation,” Carol Queen, PhD, a staff sexologist at Good Vibrations previously told Women’s Health . Add a squirt of lube to your finger and simply circle the entrance to start.
"The whole is greater than the sum of our sexual parts," says Nan Wise , PhD, a licensed psychotherapist and certified sex therapist. Translation: Combining stimulation from multiple erogenous zones (e.g. clitoris, vagina, cervix, nipple, inner thighs, and anus) can add up to some serious pleasure.
Some pleasure-seekers can actually orgasm from touching their nipples alone. Try putting one hand on your breast and the other inside you. "Give yourself permission to lay down and let your hands wander," advises Brito.
But "you don’t have to turn off your mind to orgasm," says Wise. Instead, she suggests "paying attention to sensations"—not unlike how you pay attention to your breath when meditating.
Don't rush it! Take as much time as you need, says Richmond. If you can make it an all-day affair, why not pull a Samantha Jones and make it one?! "Once a week or once every couple of weeks, maybe go into a self-pleasure session without orgasm having to be on the menu," Richmond suggests. Doing so can help you really explor
