Masturbation can come in many forms, and you can use your hands, toys, and imagination to enjoy it, but the following are the most common types:

  • Clitoral

Protips

9. The Grinder

AD 4nXdwT2Txt9OH2b0j6dH1c vK H2tZ4h 3JY0 7JjivHpwSUIHY05nYqgGhU accGlO g54

The grinder is all about using your body weight to give you that full and deep sensation. 

For people with vulvas, grinding can feel so good because it targets the clitoris, vagina, and even G-spot simultaneously. The friction the grinding action can give also activates those nerve endings to make things more arousing.

How to Do It

  • Grind your pelvic area slowly on the surface and gradually increase the pressure when needed.
  • You can sit up or lean a bit forward to find the best angle and target those sensitive areas.

Protips

10. Squat and Rock

12. Side Anal Stroker

  • Glide your hand or toy gently and gradually increase the speed and pressure after things become more comfortable.

Protip

13. Two is Better Than One

AD 4nXdZ0mg8NdqHfOWPytA FiJ7z8aLlMPdiVLotQsfVsmStcgj Vp In318EUpKBC2ocIlrCCOIkv2GwPHyq37K16nyyNIWT6JA2gS6A8BXt4GyHJJC4e91GtK 8LcjuSoXF2RR6Os?key=7UKbcPOt3fm2UZc5NylKPA
