Whether you are new to understanding your body or simply looking for a way to satisfy your sexual urges, you probably have some questions about masturbation.
Masturbation is the one area of sex that you do not usually read about in a woman's magazine and your friends probably do not admit that they do it.
The truth is, you are not alone in your questions, needs or feeling inadequate with your various techniques.
If everyone was honest, they would admit that "self-love" can be great for your mind, body and spirit and that they too enjoy it.
Chances are you are not "turned on" all the time, but sometimes you just have a want or need for sexual satisfaction.
Start by putting yourself in the mood.
Shopping, a nice dinner and bath with candles can set a relaxing mood for any woman.
The next step is arousal.
Visualization is one way to start arousal for women.
This can be done by watching adult films, reading adult stories or fantasizing.
Trial and error is the only way to know which technique is right for you.
Once you feel your body aroused, it is time to initiate the touch.
While it may seem "weird" to touch yourself, if you are deep in a fantasy, it will simply add to the pleasure and bring the fantasy to life.
There are many things a woman can do to increase arousal including spanking themselves, pulling their hair and groping their breasts.
Arousal is important to make masturbation comfortable.
Lubrication oils are available to prevent your vaginal area from being too dry, however, actual arousal will help heighten the orgasm(s) you get during masturbation.
Start by inserting one finger into your vagina, the middle finger is the longest and the best to start with.
Slowing moving your finger in and out should stimulate your g-spot.
If the stimulation is not enough, consider using two or three fingers.
Penetration is only one part of masturbation, clitoral stimulation is important to reaching you climax.
Use a spare finger or the fingers from your other hand and rub in a figure eight motion around the clitoris.
The motion helps reach multiple nerves in the area that are missed through the regular up and down motion.
Continue with both motions until you reach climax.
If this is your first time, you may not know what the climax feels like.
The feeling starts as a tingle that runs through your whole body, most women state that they literally feel "out of control" during an orgasm.
You should feel a chill-like sensation through your entire body which will then lead to orgasmic release.
Practice makes perfect and there are many areas to explore with masturbation.
Once you have conquered the world of using your hands, you can explore vibrators and dildos for other types of sensation.
