Mutual Masturbation: The What, the How, and the Here’s Why (Benefits)

Share the Love

Want to feel closer than ever? If you and your partner are ready to kick things up a notch, we have a treat for you. Mutual masturbation, though rarely talked about and even less often described, is an intimate, pleasurable way to connect with your partner. Believing steadfastly that we know our bodies best ourselves, we want to help our community teach their partners what they love – all the while having a fun time doing it.

Benefits of Mutual Masturbation

Beyond adding an extra spicy layer to your sexual toolbelt, mutual masturbation is one of the best ways for a couple to connect and help you receive the sex you both know, want, and love. How so? Among the many benefits to be gained, there are:

Setting yourself up for success: Ready to really get off? This duo session helps you get to where you want to be while enjoying both your own, and your partner’s, pleasure.

Teaching your partner new skills: By teaching (showing) your partner how you like to be touched, you can ramp up their skills for future sessions.

Connection: Sharing a sexual experience is intimate – teaching and showing your partner what you like best is a vulnerable position to be in. Add more intimacy and connectedness to your relationship by revealing more of your wants and needs.

How to Connect with Your Partner by Masturbating Together

We get it – being the first partner to request something new in the bedroom can be a daunting experience. Instead of being intimidated by it, we’re all for empowerment. We believe that open, honest, and transparent communication is the key to getting what you want. Among the many ways to approach the subject, we prefer:

Talking about it when the pressure is off: Over dinner, lounging on the couch, or during an otherwise casual conversation.

Talking about it mid-session: Having trouble finding the words? Use your hands and test out new waters by guiding your partner to what you want to focus on. Do they turn you down? Not to fear! The only way you can lose is by never asking at all.

Regardless, if it is finally your time to shine, we always recommend having a body safe lubricant and protection on hand to keep things comfortable and safe when you’re ready to step it up a notch.
