If privacy is a concern, this article actually has a bunch you're living at home or in another shared space: https://www.scarleteen.com/article/sexu ... rbating_at. And when you say you want the sessions to be better, what would that look or feel like to you?
i'm not sure. Just a lot better, and when it finishes i genuinely feel satisfied i guess. I want other ways to masturbate other than using hands and stuff. thanks for the link btw
You're welcome! If you're looking to branch out beyond using your hands, then I think sex toys may be the way to go, because they can introduce some new and interesting sensations into the mix.
That does sound frustrating! Looking at the D.I.Y sex toy article, are there things like masturbation sleeves or vibrators that you could D.I.Y from things that are already at home?
i don't have sleeves per say. i have things like rubber gloves and toilet rolls which is good. but lube wise i have nothing. also it would be tough to clean gloves up especially if they need to be used. sorry about this :/
It's okay, we're happy to help you brainstorm! There are actually a lot of things you can use as lube that you might be able to find in your house. If you look in this article, particularly the "oil based" section, you might find some that will work: Lube 101: A Slick Little primer
Yep, if you're using it just for masturbation, Vaseline can work as a lubricant. And they way lube helps is by increasing pleasure and comfort; friction on a penis without lube can end up getting very uncomfortable very quickly.
Oh okay, well i will try vaseline and attempt to make something that helps with masturbating. Also one more thing: I feel like sometimes i just go and get it over with and that's it. Do you have any tips to build the arousal up for a period of time so that once i do it, its better?
There are a few different ways to extend the amount of time you masturbate. One is to focus more time on the "build-up," where you're doing things like fantasizing or consuming sexual media. Another is to pause when you notice yourself getting close to orgasm, let your arousal go down a little, and then start up again.
