“Circle Perk: If you love clitoral stimulation but find prolonged pressure a little too intense, try the Circle Perk to reap the benefits of all those nerve endings in your c-spot. To do this move, find a seated position that is comfortable and allows you access between your legs, and use your finger to "draw" a circle around your clitoris. Start slow, and depending on your speed and reaction, increase speed and pressure. If the "O" shape isn't doing it for you, try tracing the letters of the alphabet to switch it up.”

“Women masturbate in a lot of different ways, but a lot of my clients have found it useful to get a sense of what the process tends to entail. In general, most women masturbate by stimulating their clitorises. Research has found that women are most likely to reach orgasm by stroking diagonally across the clitoris. Women usually need a fair amount of time to warm up, and require repetitive, consistent stimulation to climax. On average, women take about 20 minutes to orgasm.”

“Many women -- like many men -- fantasize while masturbating, to the idea of a partner, someone else, or various sexual scenarios. Many women have one or two methods they've discovered for themselves which are ways that -- for a substantial period of time -- they know will usually get them off quickly, but will still experiment with other techniques sometimes for variety, or because their standby methods aren't doing the trick on a given day. Many women (and men) can find that those tried-and-trees sometimes will just stop working, and then need to experiment to find some new ways.”

“I'm a big fan of porn. I think that the Stoya films are amazing, for example. Most of the time I just watch short clips on PornHub, just because it's easy...In terms of categories, I'm into things that I don't actually do myself—like toys (I don't have any), lesbians (I'm into men), and threesomes (not really my thing, but I have tried it). The execution isn't particularly spectacular—I just use my hand. As I said, I don't own a vibrator or anything like that. As lame as it seems, I usually just think about whoever it is that I fancy at that given moment.”

“The first time I masturbated, it was actually unintentional. I was 11 years old and in a swimming pool with a friend. I didn't really get what happened but I became a really big fan of water afterwards. Showers, pools—basically all running water. Shower heads are definitely the way to go, but a few years back I got really paranoid that the constant jet of water would desensitize my vagina, so I gave it up. I love it, but I have no interest in having a paralyzed pussy. Today, I rely on my boring fingers. Usually, I think about things like roller skating on some cloud and then falling down onto a total stranger's dick—a guy who just so happened to be waiting there with a huge boner.”

“The Sandwich Cookie: This technique is much like delicious cookies sandwiching a cream filling. Your index and middle fingers serve as the delicious cookies here. Place your fingers on the outside and supporting both sides of your clitoris. While gently gripping your clitoris with your fingers, use the fingers of your other hand to stroke the clitoris while varying the pressure and speed, but not too fast. You can also slide your ‘sandwich’ fingers up and down on the sides of your clitoris too.”

“The Open-Faced Sandwich: This technique involves gently patting and pushing down on your whole vaginal area using the palm of your outstretched hand. It is quite a variation on direct stimulation methods as the stimulation is much broader focused. Keep your hand open and fingers outstretched. Long and varied strokes are best at first.”

“Go Slowly and Then Build Up
Now that you’ve pulled out the porn and licked your finger, what’s next? Well, now you begin. Using the tip of your finger, make soft slow circles on the hood of your clitoris.

See how that feels?

Okay, now’s the time to explore. Try different things with your clit. Move your finger up and down, sliding it inside and out of your vagina as you go. Try flicking your clit from side to side or pinching it gently between two fingers. Use different speeds and different amounts of pressure. Increase your speed as you go along (or increase, decrease, then increase again) for an amazing all-out explosion of an orgasm!”

“Set the mood: The kind of arousal you need is subjective, but one thing a woman needs is a calm, relaxing environment where she can simply unwind and think sexy thoughts. So try to set the mood, light some candles, draw a relaxing bath, play some sexy music and if you like, pick up an erotic novel. Most importantly, remember to lock your door so that you are not disturbed, unless you live alone, that is. Another good preparatory tip is to have soft and inviting lights along with a clean, soft bed sheet. While this might sound silly, the right lighting and a bed sheet that feels wonderful against your naked skin can make all the difference.”

“Toys can help. Nearly half of women between the ages of 18 and 60 have used a sex toy like a dildo or vibrator, according to a survey by Ashley Leonard at Robert Morris University. If you’ve had trouble reaching orgasm and want to climax, a vibrator (which stimulates the nerve endings in the clitoris) may be helpful.”

“Porn is a wonderful thing — and that can mean anything from literotica to still images to video. If you're not into porn, you may just have not yet found porn you like. There is so much more out there than oily dudes jackhammering away at spray-tanned women (though there's also nothing wrong with getting off on more stereotypical fare).”

“Create a fantasy. For more than a decade, I've fantasized about hooking up with a stranger in a bathroom stall. Like "hike up my skirt and slam me against the wall while you penetrate me from behind" kind of fucking. Preferably with some hair pulling. Sex with strangers is a common fantasy and far less kinky than most of the thoughts in my mental Rolodex of smut. It's fueled countless orgasms, so it's a reliable go-to. Give yourself permission to think about whatever you have to think about to get off.”

“Get to know your body. Sit down with a mirror and play genital show- and-tell, a brilliant concept I learned at a bodysex workshop with iconic Sex for One author and sex educator Betty Dodson, aka the "Mother of Masturbation." When was the last time you sat down and took a good hard look at your pussy? Like got all Nancy Drew in your business and explored every fold, crease, and flap? Pulled back the clitoral hood and revealed that marvelous magic-making bead? Women have the same number of nerve endings in their clits as men have in their dicks, but it's hard to get off if you don't appreciate the skin you're in.”

“To find your G-spot slide a finger into your vagina and bend it so it brushes the front wall. Reach back towards your cervix, then draw your finger along the front of your vagina. Your G-spot is the cluster of skin that stands out and when stimulated can produce an orgasm of very, very heightened intensity. Enjoy.”

“Make Noise: Back in 2011, there was a study done at Temple University that found that at least 60 percent of women have faked an orgasm at some point — hardly a shocker, but their reasons why had more to do with themselves than appeasing their partners. One such reason was that making noise — mimicking the sounds of sexual pleasure that usually precipitate or go along with an orgasm — actually increased their own enjoyment. This made total sense to me, as the SOUNDS of sex can be as big if not bigger a turn on as the visuals of sex.”

“You might find you get more turned on by touching your clitoris rather than trying to put a finger inside your vagina. The clitoris is a sensitive bump up in front of the vaginal opening, covered with loose skin which separates to form the flaps that go down each side of the vaginal opening. The clitoris has a lot of nerves and can be quite sensitive, so may need light touch.”

“The best place to start is by stroking across your clitoris in a couple of different patterns (lube can make this feel even better!). Try diagonally, in a figure-eight, in a circle, up and down, and side to side. Each time you try a particular stroke, ask yourself, ‘does this feel good?’ The only ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’ when it comes to masturbation are whether something feels pleasurable for you or not.”

“The next day was the ‘hands on’ part of the workshop. Betty explained the two main types of orgasms, ‘Tension-Release’ and the ‘Rock 'N’ Roll.’ Tension-Release is when you squeeze your whole body and PC muscles ("pubococcygeus muscles," the thing you squeeze when you're doing Kegels) and kind of force an orgasm. Rock N’ Roll is where you squeeze and release, squeeze and release, and then slowly over a long period of time build to climax.”

“Another medium that seems to satisfy many women is flowing water. Many women masturbate by running the water in a bathtub, lying down in the tub, and placing their buttocks up against the end of the tub so the running water lands right on their clitorises. The temperature, strength of the flow, and so on can be adjusted to suit the individual. Hand-held showerheads, particularly the ones with massaging jets, are also very good. And, if you have access to a Jacuzzi, you can use the water jets in those.”

“In an informal survey of female masturbation habits conducted by the HealthyStrokes.com website—which bills itself as ‘a site about masturbation and you!’—some of the most frequently mentioned masturbatory objects, aside from dildos and vibrators, are candles, cucumbers, carrots, bananas, hairbrush handles, bottle tops, pencils, and markers.

Less frequently mentioned—but still cited enough to make the survey—were icicles, teddy bears, wood sticks, hammers, and electric toothbrushes.”

“Rub, press, tap, stroke, and play with everything in that zone. Try using your fingers to slide the clitoral hood around over your clitoris, up and down, sideways, and in circles. Squeeze it, tap on it, or press hard on it with your fist. Probe inside your vagina or massage around the opening. Squeeze your labia together and rub them up and down. Add oil as needed. Use a bit of extra oil to rub your nipples too.”

“Women and girls masturbate in an endless list of ways. They may massage their clitoris and vulva with hands and fingers, or rub their vulva up against pillows, bed cloths, stuffed animals, and furniture. Some use water spray, vibrators, and dildos to stimulate their vulva and/or vagina...Some women employ nipple and/or anal stimulation in addition to clitoral and vaginal stimulation. Fantasy often plays a major role in a woman's masturbation activities, as the brain is the largest and most important sexual organ, and as a result physical stimulation alone is frequently not sufficient to produce orgasm.”
