Hi, hello, and welcome to the most wonderful time of the year—at least according to me and my nightstand. And no, I’m not talking about the snow days and cute winter dates that come with the holiday season. Enter: Masturbation May, the one month of the year solely dedicated to self pleasure, and thus, the perfect opportunity to snatch up all the luxury vibrators, bestselling butt plugs, and solo sex toys that are on sale for the occasion.
Now for any naysayers out there who *don’t* feel the visceral need to have the best orgasm of their life this month, sexologist Marla Renee Stewart, sexpert for Lovers sexual wellness brand, says engaging in a little (or a lot!) of self-pleasure is actually v beneficial. Not only does masturbating release dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin—hormones that make us feel good both physically and mentally—but it’s also great for cardiovascular health, she explains. More than that, Stewart says masturbation allows you to “learn more about yourself and how your sexual organs are functioning,” and can also help you understand what feels good to you. This means that when/if you have sex with a partner, you already know your best path to pleasure.
But besides all that, masturbation feels really freaking good and it’s totally, completely normal. “Even if you have a sexual partner, it’s still completely normal to still masturbate,” Stewart says. “I encourage folks to always be masturbating, even in a relationship. Our bodies are always changing, so doing this regularly helps us to continue to learn more about our bodies.”
Since preferences shift, trying out new sex toys is a great way to figure out what does it for you these days. Think about what type of stimulation, pressure, intensity, and positions get you excited, then test it out with a few different gadgets. Better yet, test it out with a few different gadgets you got on sale, so both your clit *and* your credit statement are happy.
And to help you have the best solo sex sesh ever, we’ve put together a one-stop-shop with all the deets on different Masturbation May sex toy deals. Pay close attention to the dates and restrictions, and when in doubt, just “add all” to cart. Consider it a very, very early Christmas gift to you, from you. Happy shopping!
