Whilst I’m eagerly awaiting my first LH purchase and coincidentally my first sex toy(s), I thought I’d ask what made you first decide to up your masturbation game ?
In addition, what makes you go for manual stimulation over toys and vice versa?
For myself, I’ve always taken matters into my own hands as it were. But I’ve got to the age where I want to experience more, and feel new sensations. I’m comfortable enough to know who I am, and realise that hands free orgasms and also prostate stimulation/orgasm is are new goals I want to achieve.
So final question, what percentage is your preferred solo session over another?
I have caulalgia (caus = reason, algia = pain, causalgia = cause of the pain, a chronic pain condition with known causes [injuries]) in my right hand/wrist so for me it was because doing it myself was causing pain and hand cramp, letting someone do it for me was usually unsuccessful… I just needed something that could give me that sweet release pain-free
Simply to try something new, a new sensation and with the powered toys it takes you one step removed from manual masturbation so aids fantasy whilst masturbating.
So do you rely on on method over the other, or would you say that your methods are equally spread?
For me, making the jump to toys is all about the new sensations as you said, and the hope that I can reach more of an handsome free climax but stimulating new areas.
As it’s hard to get the alone time, manual has always been the way for me, but I hope that making time for extended play, especially with toys will be the start of a new chapter.
There is nothing like being able to masturbate toy free, it is simple, easy and if needs be quick. Toys take a little more planning and time. Having said that I love both options. I suppose I am 60% toy free
No vary it as time and location allows. Some of the powered toys are noisy and therefore not suitable at times, where as the use of a flashlight or simply your had is more appropriate.
I have never used toys, nor did I cum with the hand. I can only use a pillow, unfortunately. When I try masturbating with my hand, it hurts after a minute.
There’s nothing wrong with a little pain, so long as it’s consensual
Yes absolutely, and really, operability can be everything for me when choosing a sex toy. Compare my reviews of the Womanizer Next vs the Romp X Amorana MVP stimulator, as an example
Toys are great but you can’t beat the feeling of your own hand to masturbation as it allows you to have skin contact and control over grip and movement what all adds to the pleasures !
I mean you’re right there @AJSTAR, I guess nothing compares to your own touch when masturbating, you know what works, appreciate how things feel, the eventual orgasm and ejaculation.
That said, I’m really looking forward to exploring and expanding my solo activities with toys. I’m hoping to experience new feelings and sensations, and open to learning from everyone here.
Curiosity and the ever increasing need for unique/novel stimulation due to ADHD.
As for what makes me choose one over the other, time. Nearly always time.
If I’m going to get an evening to myself or a whole weekend .. then the big guns come out and I settle in for a long session. This is always my preferred approach for solo.
Although. I can equally quickly get to it and stop before orgasm. Get something else done while I’ve the dopamine, and then finish off later.
If time’s short then it might be hand only or mix in some electro to intensify it.
Toys are great and part of the fun. But you can’t beat[1] natural. I think its way more passionate. And its great to give your body time away from the vibrations, suction etc
