In case you missed the memo, Masturbation can is back: a month of jubilant, unabashed self-indulgence celebrations! If that’s not a Covid-safe party we can all enjoy, I don’t know what is!
At Bellesa, our goal this year is to break the world record of Most women masturbate on May 28th:International Masturbation Day. Sign up now to help out with a good cause, right? Plus, when you sign up, get ready to receive free gifts in your inbox all month long!
I have it on good authority that if enough women masturbate at the same time, good might just triumph over all the haters and players. After all, when times are tough, self-love is the best medicine.
Masturbation marathons are a proven practice
In fact, Bellesa’s ambitious virtual masturbation marathon has historical precedent: One of the most notable ways to celebrate Masturbation Day is by hosting (in person!) Masturbation-a-thon in various cities. One such event was held in San Francisco on May 7, 1999, to raise money for AIDS organizations. Not only did these events help reduce the stigma associated with masturbation, they certainly advanced the ever-important discussion about freedom of sexual expression.
In case you needed them, here are a few more ideas to commemorate May Masturbation Month (or any other day the wind takes you):
Masturbate as many times as you want!
I mean it seriously: no limits. Go for gold, 27 times if you want. Masturbate like no one is watching, or like someone is. Eastdepending on your preferences. It works even better if you set aside a day (or part of a day) to devote to masturbation, so you don’t have to worry about deadlines, appropriate responses, or general decorum.
Masturbate in new positions.
It may not immediately occur to you that masturbation, just like sex, can be explored from a variety of original positions and experienced from different angles. You: put a pillow underneath, or lean your pelvis against a wall, or straddle your favorite toy, or do it standing up in the shower. Hint: I tried it in a toilet stall. Was it difficult? Maybe, but the moment demanded it. The more you try, the more you know.
Masturbating with or for a partner.
Masturbation is inherently a solitary activity, of course, but for those of us in relationships with a voyeuristic/exhibitionist streak, masturbating while your partner watches can be downright arousing for both parties. Who knows? Chances are, your partner will get turned on and start masturbating too. Then, you can both give And get a kind of peep show. And what better way, really, to Spice up a relationship during Covid?
Get some new sex toys to play with.
Rumor has it that Bellesa’s offer up to 25% off toys in honor of May Masturbation Month! Some of us prefer to masturbate with nothing but our hands and our fantasies, and some of us love our toys for joy. Personally, I like to change things up, for the sake of variety. Trust me, you’ll never regret having a few mind-blowing orgasm aids in the toy box. Like the BuzzFeed AirVibefor example, hello euphoria. Toys are great because they can easily (and surprisingly) turn a solo masturbation session into a transcendent experience. Plus, you can always incorporate them into partner play.
Try new and creative ways to masturbate.
Men And women Both can benefit from solo sexual exploration. Whether it’s finally letting your fantasies take over by indulging in your baser desires without any shame (ahem, ahem), or finding a place to masturbate that you might never have considered before (i.e. your car, your floor, or the kitchen table), dreaming up new ways to make yourself cum can really get those juices flowing. Bring a towel and you’ll never have to worry about making a mess.
Watch porn for inspiration.
There is nothing like it top quality porn made by dirty-minded women to bring a little rock into your life. And it’s the truth. Whether you’re a seasoned porn pro or a cautious newbie with a burning desire to churn (I apologize), the right visuals can really help you get home.
Make it romantic.
Who says romance is just for couples? You deserve the best, whether you’re in a relationship or not. So, set a date, cook your favorite dinner, wear something that makes you feel sexy, light some candles and incense, and get started. put that real self-love shit into practice. While it may seem like a stretch to go through all that ocean motion just for yourself, let me ask you this: who, if not YouIs it really worth being impressed? I say, go all out: impress yourself.
Happy Masturbation Month, goddesses! I’ll be feeling it with you all on May 28th (and probably most of the days leading up to it as well). Here’s to a treasure trove of love and pleasure for all who desire it. <3
