Self-Pleasuring Month: Handy Tips for Getting Handy

Most guys certainly don’t need a special occasion for self-pleasuring, but for those who do – or who just want a legitimate excuse to up their self-fondling game – May is officially designated as self-pleasuring month. It’s a good time to celebrate getting handy with oneself and for those who are more “above board” about their self-pleasuring, to come clean and make no bones about the fact that self-gratification is an important part of their lives. (And, of course, it can play a role in helping to maintain male organ health by exercising the member and keeping it in good shape.)  But if a guy is going to go all out and celebrate self-pleasuring month with as much self-pleasuring as he can, some handy preparation tips are in order.

- Know the limits. Sure, it can be tremendous fun to abandon oneself and really get into self-stimulating in a big way. But guys need to know their limits. If they tend to self-gratify for a few minutes every once in a while, it’s probably not best to jump in to self-fondling for hours on end. If a guy really wants to explore marathon self-pleasuring sessions during May, he should work his way into it, starting slow and building up to longer sessions.

- Be sure to lubricate. It is hard to emphasize this enough. Rubbing oneself raw can be a painful experience – and can keep a guy from self-gratifying while the red, raw member recovers. Using a good lubricant and reapplying it as needed is absolutely crucial. Some guys tend to use their saliva when self-stimulating, but for a long session, something more is likely going to be needed. Take the time to get a good lubricant; the manhood deserves it.

- Seek visual assistance. Some guys self-fondle using only their own mental facilities to create sensual excitement, and that’s great. But if a guy is thinking about self-stimulating more often or for longer periods of time, he may need some “outside assistance” in the form of stimulating literature, sensual pictures, adult films, etc.

- Consider others. Celebrating self-pleasuring is a wonderful thing – but it’s important to keep in mind that others may not be as open to the idea. Talking about self-pleasuring is one thing, but providing unwanted pictures or opening the door for the pizza delivery guy while being handy is not acceptable.

- Think about explorations. Self-pleasuring month is a good time to explore new facets of self-stimulation. This may mean exploring different ways of self-gratifying, incorporating sensual toys into self-pleasuring or finding new sensual fantasies, scenarios or visuals to utilize. Some guys may take this opportunity to explore self-pleasuring with another person or persons, online or in a live situation. Stretching boundaries can be very good for a person, but he needs to still practice appropriate caution to prevent any unwanted consequences.

Getting handy with oneself during self-pleasuring month is an opportunity for a man to learn more about his manhood and his desires. His journey will be made easier if the member is already in its best health, something which is easier to accomplish through the daily application of a top drawer male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven mild and safe for skin).  It’s easy, during self-pleasuring month, for a man to get overenthusiastic and end up with a very sore manhood. In such cases, a crème with a potent combination of moisturizers, such as Shea butter (a high-end emollient) and vitamin E (a natural hydrator) can provide much-needed relief. Ideally the crème should also include alpha lipoic acid, a powerful antioxidant which helps prevent oxidative stress and damage by tackling unwanted excess free radicals.
