To celebrate Masturbation month, we’ve partnered up with Shushbox to do something a little fun for those who might be struggling to find inspiration in the current lockdown. Whether you’re quarantining indoors with your boo (yes, mutual masturbation is a thing) or riding solo, here are 3 ways to explore yourself this May.
Express yourself through dance
Dancing along to some of your fave tunes (even for a cheeky five mins whilst getting ready in the morning) can boost happiness and improve creative thinking. Dancing not only releases endorphins (the happy hormones!), which helps to reduce stress and promote relaxation but is also a fab way to express our bodies and sexual energy through a movement that can help in boosting self-confidence. Whilst we dance, since our blood is already flowing, this is also a great time to explore our bodies a little closer…if ya know what we mean. So put on a sexy playlist, rub up on yourself, and dance like nobody is watching.
Try Mirror Work
Remember… Self-pleasure IS Self-love. Masturbation boosts self-esteem and can also relieve stress. With a mirror, the experience becomes even more sensual as all distractions can be removed and you, your body, and your pleasure can take the limelight. So turn your notifications OFF, light some candles, get comfortable and take some time out to connect with yourself. By watching your reflection in the mirror, you’ll be able to match feelings of pleasure with specific strokes to find what feels good for you at the moment.
Erotic Writing
Reading about people getting it ON can be fun, open our minds and encourage the exploration of new sexual activities. These may be fantasies we don’t even want to try in real life, but it’s a way to see what get’s us hot under the collar in a safe way. Writing about getting down and dirty can also have similar effects. Creative writing can be a form of escapism and allow you to release feelings and emotions, another great way to explore your fantasizes a little further. Or maybe you just want to go down memory lane and remember some of those hot and steamy experiences in the el wanko banko? Either way, pick up a pen and get scribbling.
And on that note. If you’re feeling inspired, we’ve got a competition to get those creative juices flowing sis!
