5 Tips to Jerk Off Better

You probably learned to masturbate in your basement, maybe your first time was triggered by Baywatch or another scantily clad series. Whatever brought on your first session it probably didn’t stop there! Soon you were rubbing one out every time your family was out of the house and eventually you had the confidence to do it during the times you had the most privacy, like in your room or the shower. It was definitely a fast and furious scenario, hoping you wouldn’t get walked in on by a sibling or your parents.

That habit, though, has likely stuck with you into your adult life. A lot of dudes view solo sex as something they can do to quickly get pleasure, but that’s not all there is to it. You can really change up your solo sexy time with simple adjustments to your regular routine. And since a lot of us have more time on our hands than ever before, thanks to quarantine, why not have your dick in hand, too!

Especially in times like these, there’s no need to rush the process, but I’m also not suggesting you masturbate every five minutes either! My first tip and this is a freebie, is to try and limit masturbating to once a day. Whether that’s edging for hours or a shorter session, you’ll get more enjoyment out of one really good stroke fest than you would out of a quick tug-n-go every time you get up from the couch.

But let’s really dive in! Here are five tips you can start using to jerk better and overall get more out of every guy’s favorite activity.

1. Explore your taint, already.

There are a lot of nerve endings between your balls and your anus in an area most people call the taint, a.k.a. your perineum. From personal experience, I can tell you this area responds really well to pressure and vibrations. Basically, just beneath the surface is a portion of your dick that’s hidden away, but it’s easy to feel it in there when you’re hard. You can take advantage of it and apply pressure there; you’ll feel a different sensation than just masturbating and you can use your other hand to stroke your meat.

Now, a vibrator is really what will take this to the next level. Take your favorite vibrating dong and press it in that same area. I find this really stimulates my prostate (at least from the outside) because I explore when I orgasm this way. It feels like a whole new sensation when compared to just stroking or even getting fucked. The real bonus is that you can take advantage of this special spot when you’re not solo, too!

Massaging the area with or without lube goes a long way! If you’ve got access to an electric massaging gun or wand, don’t shy away from using it on your taint. You’ll be blown away by how good it feels, it basically turns your cock into a vibrator so when you’re jerking off it won’t be like anything you’ve ever tried before.

2. Get into anal.

Solo time is the perfect time to explore just the way you like it when it comes to butt stuff. Whether it’s your first time experimenting with anal play or you’ve been pounded every day since you came out, everyone should explore at least a little tushy time when they’re masturbating. Your butt and especially your hole have a ton of nerve endings that are just waiting to be explored! Once you experience an anal orgasm for the first time, there’s nothing that will stop you from trying again and again.

If you’re looking to start small, prostate massagers are the way to go. They offer powerful vibrations or just stimulation, directly to your prostate. P-spot stimulation will give you a helluva orgasm if you’ve never experienced anal before, so it’s a great way to see what all the fuss is about! Lube goes a long way with anal play, so just be sure you have a quality water-based lube on hand.

Whether you’re looking for deep penetrative pleasure or just a little backdoor exploration, solo time is perfect for exploring this fantasy. You’ll want to make sure you’re ready and clean, ideally long after you’ve used the bathroom and showered (ideally just before jerking it) so that you’re all set to tease your hole. It’s a lot different exploring your anus on your own and you might find out how enjoyable it is with enough time and lube.

3. Buy a masturbation sleeve

Sex toys aren’t all cock rings and dildos, there are a literal ton, if not several tons, of male masturbators on the market. A classic Fleshlight is often a fan favorite, and for good reason too! Fleshlights offer a wide range of sleeves and entries so that you can choose the right combo for you. Love deepthroat? Perfect, there’s a mouth entrance! Big into butts? That’s cool too - they’ve even got pornstar butts to choose from! Fuck, they even have some wild contraptions that grip your meat in all kinds of ways!

Fleshlight Quickshot Vantage

Specifically talking Fleshlight, I love the double-ended Quickshot Vantage, and not just because it’s their signature material that really stimulates your senses. I really enjoy a double opening toy for when my man wants to join in the fun. We can fuck it from both ends and create a cum-y mess together. With the added bonus of being completely transparent, you can watch your juice shoot out of your cock and into this sleeve, or you can stroke to the base of your cock and explode your load wherever you want. There are a ton of these love tunnels out there, and each one has a different texture inside. You can find what works for you or read reviews until you feel like you’ve found the one.

For me personally, I look for ones that have a tight entrance, so it’s like your fucking a virgin hole without all the bitching. I also look for ribbed texture, but that’s a really specific preference because I just enjoy the feeling of my cock passing through rings over and over, but some guys really enjoy nubs. The latest craze with male masturbators is dual density, so some textures inside the toy give a bit more resistance than others. Which, honestly, I’m a big fan of! The biggest thing, though: clean out these toys after use ‘cause they can get funky.

4. Don’t forget your boys.

The super-sensitive organs that are your testicles bring a lot to the table in terms of self-pleasuring. Tug ‘em, squeeze ‘em, bounce ‘em, there’s so much you can do. Some guys will wear a weighted ball ring to really stimulate your goods. When you’re wearing a weighted ball ring every stroke you make has a delayed stimulation to your boys as they pull the weight. Whether it’s a hanging weight or a heavy metal ring, it’ll really amp up the pleasure.

Try rhythmically tugging your balls as you get closer and closer to climax. You’ll experience a much more intense orgasm than you would just stroking your cock. Your testicles have almost as many nerve endings as your cock does, so it makes sense to stimulate them when you’re masturbating for a more intense experience. Eventually, you can work up to orgasming just by pleasuring your boys which results in a really wild orgasm.

Individual turn-ons and sensitivities really matter in terms of what you’ll enjoy. Ball play deals with very sensitive organs you might not have down much with before, so be prepared to work yourself into it. Soon you’ll be blow away by the pleasure of teasing your balls and there’s nothing that will hold you back from tugging them every time you masturbate. Playing with your balls is an awesome way to really enhance the whole solo experience.

5. Lastly, edging, the holy grail of masturbation.

Sometimes a quick five-knuckle-shuffle in the shower is all you need, but other days you want to get really, really into masturbation. For the days you have too much time on your hands, why not masturbate for hours? Only, it’s not just masturbation and it actually takes a lot of will power to really excel at. Some call it the stop-and-start method, but it all results in a much more intense orgasm. If that sounds like something you’ll enjoy, keep reading.

Honestly, I rave and rave about edging in almost any article I can. It’s for good reasons though, I swear, and not just because I personally make use of it! It’s something any guy can do, we’ve each got all the equipment we need between a hand and a cock. You can certainly use a cock ring or masturbator, but everyone’s at least got the basics! What you want to do is basically masturbate as you normally would but stop before you orgasm. It’s not as simple as it sounds, especially when you try and do it for longer and longer.

You can repeat this process as many times as you can handle, three to four is a good place to start. Soon, you’ll be at the point where you’re so horny you can’t help but bust your nut. Edging results in really intense orgasms, I find I feel it in basically my whole body, my muscles tense and shake as my cock explodes with semen. And when I say explodes, I mean atomic jizz bomb. All the pent-up desire is released all at once in, usually, a larger load that even shoots further. You can even bring the control you learn from edging into the bedroom and rock his world all night long!

There are so many more things you can try, but these are personal favorites of mine that I had to share! Exploring your taint and even solo anal play can be really new for some guys, but once you start you won’t be able to stop. Especially if you get in the habit of giving your boys a nice tug.

Masturbation sleeves have really come a long way from ‘pocket pussies’ and there are thousands of models specifically targeted to gay men, so we don’t have to settle for painted lips or the dreaded vag. Once you’ve found your perfect sleeve you can even incorporate it into your edging routine.

Now you’re armed with half a dozen ways to improve your solo stroke game and a few of those have the added bonus of working really well with a partner! So, sit back, throw on some porn, and get stroking.
