Now, for many people, it does not take much to engage in self-gratification, but others seem to need more encouragement.
In May 1995, a sex shop in San Francisco took the initiative to encourage people to masturbate more often. They organised Masturbate-A-Thons for 10 years in a row, breaking records every time, such as a man masturbating for 9 hours and 33 minutes and a woman masturbating for 7 hours and 6 minutes. The highest number of orgasms is currently 83 (both achieved by a man and a woman). The greatest distance that an ejaculate can travel is 2.5 metres for a man and 3.15 metres for a woman (!).
Since then, May is the unofficial masturbation month. And we at NBRplaza call on all our visitors to celebrate it. Here are some tips:
1. Buy a vibrator
They are not scary and they are not only for women. Use a vibrating one on your most sensitive spot (your clitoris) or use a g-spot vibrator to make you reach a squirming orgasm. For owners of a penis, there are silicone masturbators (in the shape of a torch).
2. Do it in public
Be sensible and don’t go to the nearest schoolyard. Do it in the car, on the toilet of a pub, in the dunes, at least outside the walls of your bedroom and without breaking any laws.
3. Put on a show for your partner
There is no shame in masturbating in a relationship. In fact, masturbating while your partner is watching and maybe doing the same is just more fun. And, while you’re at it, give each other a hand.
4. Get rid of the stress
An orgasm is a great way to forget the stress of the day and relax completely. Masturbate just before going to bed.
5. Test your stamina
Masturbation is recommended by therapists for men who come too quickly. Not only because of the ‘loaded gun’ principle (if you have already come once, it takes longer the next time), but also to be able to feel better when an orgasm is imminent. For instance, during sex with a partner, just before you are about to come, you can take a short break in order to prolong your endurance a little. But it is also very exciting to see how often you can actually come. Feel free to watch a video.
