Great news: despite some of the negative connotations of masturbation, most of which are based on outdated education methods, studies show that masturbation is actually really good for us.
The best thing about masturbation is that you are the one who knows best about what you like, so getting the most from masturbation means doing things your way, uninhibited by rules or social norms. It’s all about setting the right mood. Relax, throw in some toys, lube, or even try some anal play if you’re feeling adventurous.
It has been proven that masturbation boosts your mood by releasing endorphins, and orgasm is one of the most effective stress relievers. Aside from making you feel good, it also helps you to get to know your own body, increasing your self-confidence and keeping your sex drive up and running.
Typically, it’s normal for people to masturbate at least a couple of times per week, but this varies from person to person based on their situation and sex drive. There’s no fast rule, however. Essentially, doing it when you feel the urge should be completely encouraged – never feel embarrassed if you want to do it more often – you’ve probably just found a great outlet for your stress, so, good for you!
Being in a relationship shouldn’t hinder you, either. Masturbation can be a healthy way to express and maintain your sex drive and fantasy life, and to keep your sexual routine varied. In addition, exploring masturbation with your partner can add a new level to your sexual experience. You and your partner may find it hot to watch each other masturbate. Mutual masturbation is also a great way to pick up tips. Try mimicking their movements in your next foreplay session…
It is well known that relaxation reduces stress and improves mental health. While relaxation cannot always eliminate the source of stress or worry that plagues you, it can give you a mental break from those feelings, offer a new perspective, and help you cope better.
Think of relaxation as an ongoing process of giving yourself extra time and space whenever possible. Try and make some time for relaxation somewhere in your day as a way to bring your body and mind into balance. We feel more energetic and positive as we relax, breathe deeply, and get our blood flowing.
Masturbation offers you a great way to do this, relieving stress and enhancing your overall well-being. To enjoy your masturbation session to the max, get in the right mood beforehand and be sure to take your time. However, if you find it hard to get in the mood, don’t let this hold you back – an arousal oil may help stimulate you into forgetting about other stresses.
Vibrators and dildos are an excellent way to give your masturbation sessions a kick. First and foremost, choose a toy you feel comfortable with and excited to try – it shouldn’t feel daunting! Bear in mind the type of stimulation you best respond to. For example, you may find it easier to climax from clitoral rather than G-spot stimulation. Toys that stimulate your G-spot and C-spot simultaneously can lead to the most amazing blended orgasms, which you may not be able to achieve with your hand alone – take a look at the dual-stim Love To Love Bunny And Clyde Tapping Rabbit Vibrator (see picture).
Bunny and Clyde by Love To Love packs powerful stimulation, giving you a classic rabbit vibrator with an added tapping function to pleasure the G-spot. The smaller vibrating shaft is designed to stimulate your clitoris. You can adjust each independent motor across 10 tapping and 10 vibration modes.

Take a look at our sex toy guides for everything you need to know about sex toy fun and how to get the most out of your sex toys during masturbation.
Lube makes any type of sexual stimulation feel better, so spoil yourself with an extra splash of specially designed masturbation lube. Solo session sensations are enhanced when everything is slipping and sliding, turning ordinary pleasure time into something truly astonishing.
Water-based lubes are the best all-rounders for non-greasy self-pleasure. For anal play, you can opt for a thicker anal lube, or for a super slippery silicone-based lube.
Masturbation lubes are often (partly) oil-based and include skin-softening ingredients like aloe vera, which makes them excellent for solo external play and massages. However, we do not recommend using oil-based lubes internally (i.e. in the vagina or anus).
Browse our full range of masturbation lubes and if you’re on the hunt for one that also moisturises your skin, try the Durex Massage Lube Aloe Vera Soothing; a classic is the ID Millennium Silicone Lubricant (see pictures).
The Durex Aloe Vera 2-in-1 soothing massage oil and sex lube is a wonderful choice for long-lasting foreplay, masturbation as well as anal and vaginal intercourse. The silky smooth all-rounder gel is soft and gentle on the skin and can be used all over your body as well as your intimate hot spots. The lube’s extra-thick water-based formula is infused with aloe vera and vitamin E to nourish and moisturise your skin.
