Clearly,\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.youbeauty.com\/relationships\/whats-your-orgasm-style\">orgasms<\/a>\u00a0feel incredible, but they also offer a lot of health benefits. For instance, they are a stress-reliever and mood-booster. They can also stop\u00a0headaches, according to research published in the journal\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/cep.sagepub.com\/content\/early\/2013\/02\/19\/0333102413476374.abstract\">Cephalalgia<\/a>.

Now that you know some of the benefits of Masturbation, here is how to make the most of your \u201calone time\u201d:<\/p>\n<p><strong>Set the stage.<\/strong>\u00a0Just like sex with others, getting in the mood for self-love is important. That is because when your brain is disorderly (Did I feed the cat? Lock the main door?), arousal dissipates. So, do whatever it takes to relax. \u201cTake deep breaths, put your phone on silent, turn off the lights, play some music\u2014whatever to involve your senses,\u201d says W.Walsh, Ph.D., and author of \u201c<a href=\"http:\/\/www.amazon.com\/The-30-Day-Love-Detox-Relationship\/dp\/1609619706\">30-Day Love Detox<\/a>.\u201d \u201cYou can even have a glass of wine to relax, just limit yourself.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Create a sexual signature.<\/strong>\u00a0You have a\u00a0favourite\u00a0that always works for you, right? Having a go-to move when masturbating serves the same purpose. To find it, try with fast or slow strokes, soft and firm pressure, or movement, like circles or figure-eights. You may also keep your underwear on for an additional layer of friction or throw them off for moredirect stimulation. Then remember to take deep breaths when you are about to orgasm. Also breathing in through the nose and out of the mouth helps oxygenate your body to make more blood flow and involves the nervous system, which is responsible for the sexual response cycle.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Add some props.<\/strong>\u00a0During masturbation, the average female needs about four minutes of stimulation before reaching her peak, according to researchers at NYC. If it takes you much longer and you would like to hurry things up, there\u2019s no lack of gadgets and toys to help. Choose a\u00a0vibrator\u00a0with adaptable speed settings so you can let pleasure start slowly or go furiously fast. Other ideas: \u201cSome use pillows or masturbate in the shower using water pressure,\u201d says Greer. \u201cIt is all about getting creative with your\u00a0pleasure.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><strong>Share the love.<\/strong>\u00a0Guys are visual creatures, so another way to\u00a0jazz up your sex life\u00a0is by giving yourself a hand during sex. If you are feeling a little conscious about touching yourself in front of your spouse, know this: Though the reason is unclear, people who concentrate on their own pleasure during sex have more fulfilled partners, according to\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.thefreelibrary.com\/Emerging+adulthood:+an+age+of+sexual+experimentation+or+sexual...-a0321578254\">research<\/a>\u00a0from Swantlen Polytechnic University. One likely reason, says Walsh who is not linked to the study, is that\u00a0confidence\u00a0is sexy. \u201cPleasing yourself in front of your spouse shows you\u2019re comfortable with your body and that takes some nerve,\u201d she\u00a0says.
