There are three key steps to enhancing pleasure in relationships. Masturbation, mutual masturbation & communication. If you don’t know what feels good for you, then you’re going to struggle to relax into pleasure with your partner. So let’s talk mutual masturbation.
What is mutual masturbation?
Mutual masturbation is exactly what you think it is, you’re going to masturbate in front of your partner whilst they also masturbate. Why? Here are just six juicy reasons as to why it’s an absolute must in relationships:
Enhanced Communication: Before, during and after. Talk about what you’re doing and how it feels. Not only can you demonstrate desires, boundaries, and preferences, it’s also a massive turn on for your partner to hear all about your pleasure.
Shared Intimacy: Being in that space, naked and vulnerable, in front of your partner is the most intimate place you can be. During sex we’re so caught up in feelings of lust and desire (or worrying over what you look like and how you’re performing for some!), that the actual intimacy can get lost.
Mutual Pleasure: Both of you can experience pleasure simultaneously, leading to mutual satisfaction and enjoyment without pressure to perform or meet specific expectations.
Increased Trust: Engaging in mutual masturbation requires vulnerability and trust, strengthening the bond between you both and building a sense of emotional security.
Sexual Exploration: It provides an opportunity for you both to discover new techniques, erogenous zones, and fantasies in a safe and non-judgmental environment, enhancing sexual repertoire and satisfaction.
Stress Reduction: Like solo masturbation, mutual masturbation can lower stress hormones and promote relaxation, leading to a sense of ease and well-being for you both, promoting a ‘safe space’ in your partner.
What’s not to love, right?
Don’t be fooled into thinking this is a quick win either, spend time exploring and pleasuring yourself whilst in this space. Promoting feelings of safety, intimacy, pleasure, respect and trust is the way to a long-lasting fulfilled relationship.
Of course you can just use it to get off watching your partner pleasure themselves too! Bit of live porn action between partners never hurt anyone, right?!
