There are plenty of benefits to male masturbation. Masturbation can lower your stress level, boost your immunity, improve heart health, lower the risk of prostate cancer and improve your relationship. After all, it can seriously help with your confidence and endurance.

But generally speaking, men put a lot less intention into this self-pleasuring act than women do. 

On average, Canadian men will masturbate 147 times in 2022. So, to keep things fresh, you need to be open to changing them up.

Thankfully, we have put together this guide to different male masturbation techniques to help keep things exciting!

In this article related to male masturbation techniques, we will discuss:

Male Masturbation Tips and Techniques

While women often set the scene before masturbation, men tend to give very little thought to when and where they are masturbating. Often, the fear of getting caught in the act can cause men to rush the experience with one goal in mind—ejaculation. 

This can cause men to fall into a rut where masturbation can become predictable. Spice up your self-love life the same way you would with a sexual partner. By implementing these creative male masturbation techniques, you will blow your mind.

Unusual Male Masturbation Techniques

Most men focus on the head of the penis. The frenulum and the underside of the penis are filled with nerve endings, so many men tend to focus on that area. But there are several other erogenous zones to explore.

1. The rest of the penis organ
2. Perineum (the spot between the anus and the scrotum)
3. Ear lobes
4. Belly
5. Nipples
6. Testicles
7. Prostate 

Set aside some time to explore your body in a place that feels comfortable and free of interruption. Use different strokes, change pressure or use your less-dominant hand to create new angles and different sensations. Or experiment by changing positions, switching between sitting down, lying down, or kneeling.

And try switching off the porn. Porn can cause men to climax too quickly and has even been connected to erectile dysfunction. It can also kill your ability to fantasize or create arousal.

The P-Spot and Male Anal Masturbation Techniques

Some of the more advanced male masturbation techniques require exploration around the anus. 

The male prostate gland or p-spot is easy to find when you're already turned on because it will swell. Begin by massaging the anal area with clean, lubricated fingers, and then gently slip your finger inside to where the p-spot is. 

You can also experiment using a prostate massager. 

Applying pressure to this area is among the most intense male masturbation techniques, but it can be extremely pleasurable. 

Toys Are for Men Too

Men rarely consider using toys to masturbate, but the ones who do find serious enjoyment in it. Toys can create a space for fun male masturbation techniques. 

In addition to a prostate massager, you can try using a sleeve or try a hands-free male masturbation technique using a toy like a stroker to help increase sensations. 

To help spice up male masturbation techniques, experiment with different lubricants or try using dildos or other toys.

Male Shower Masturbation Techniques

A lot of men like to masturbate in the shower. The warm water generates stimulus to your organs, and let's be honest, it's a great place to take a minute to yourself. But the shower can be more fun than you ever thought possible with these steamy tips!

1. Let the shower run at full heat until the bathroom gets steamy. Then switch off the faucet and masturbate in the empty shower. The steam will amplify your arousal.
2. Use a silicone-based lubricant, as it's less likely to wash away.
3. The shower is the perfect place to have a little prostate fun, especially if you are new to p-spot exploration.
4. Have some fun with the showerhead too! Make sure the temperature is set to a level that won't be too uncomfortable, and use the water and pressure settings to move around your body. Explore until you find a sensation you enjoy.

The full nudity required to take a shower can also help increase your arousal and ability to fantasize. And the sound of the shower can mask any sounds you might make so you can thoroughly enjoy your alone time.

Creative Male Masturbation Techniques for Lasting Longer

Men are often concerned they are going to get caught masturbating, so they will rush to climax. Over time, this can negatively impact your endurance. Instead, try to set aside time and slow things down. 

Here are some tips on how you can make it last longer.

Edging 

When done correctly, this approach can help men learn to control orgasms and achieve a more intense climax. 

Edging is when a man stops just before climaxing and takes a break to lower his arousal. By repeating this, men can build up endurance, ultimately lasting longer. 

Other Tips for Lasting Longer

Here are a few other tips and tricks that can help you increase your stamina and extend the pleasure.

1. Use premature ejaculation wipes, numbing creams, or sprays.
2. Try edging three times a week.
3. Get regular exercise.
4. Explore other parts of your body the same way you would use foreplay with a partner.
5. Try the "pause and squeeze" method, where you stop and squeeze the underside of the penis to decrease arousal.
6. Remember to breathe, as it will relax the body and help you avoid climaxing too quickly.

Techniques for First-Timers

Some adults have never masturbated before. If it's your first time, you may be wondering where to start. 

Acknowledge why you've decided to engage in self-pleasure, to begin with. Figure out what has sparked your curiosity and aim to explore that through the process.

Make sure you are in a private place where you feel comfortable.

Your first time masturbating should be all about exploration. Use different pressure, positions, and grip and explore different erogenous areas all over the body. Figure out what sensations you like and acknowledge what you don't.

The Best Male Masturbation Techniques for Different Ages

Your techniques may change depending on the age you are. More specifically, testosterone levels begin to decline after the age of 50. Mobility can change as we get older as well. 

If you're struggling with your sexual health, there could be a variety of reasons. Thankfully, there are several things you can do to help. 

For starters, 85% of Canadian men could achieve better erections with the use of medication. But there are other things you can do to help achieve orgasm after the age of 50 as well.

Here are a few techniques that can help improve your sexual experiences.

Exercise Regularly

Exercising regularly can help you for a variety of reasons.

For starters, it lowers your stress level. This can help relax you and your body in the bedroom as well, so you can enjoy masturbation with a clear mind.

Regular exercise helps improve circulation. Getting the blood flowing can help increase your ability to achieve an erection. It can also help increase your stamina, so you can achieve a more intense climax.

Healthy Diets

Eating healthy foods can also improve your blood flow.

In addition to that, many foods are aphrodisiacs, which can increase your libido.

These foods can help:

1. Dark chocolate
2. Salmon
3. Berries

Sexual health supplements can also help maximize your experience.

Kegel Exercises

Kegel exercises can help men too. 

By tightening the pelvic floor muscles regularly, you can help improve your sexual function.

Coping With Guilt and Shame Around Masturbation

One of the biggest barriers to masturbation is the stigma around it. Because of societal pressures, many men experience feelings of guilt and shame when they think about masturbation.

This can cause them to rush through the experience or avoid it completely. 

But masturbation is a completely natural thing. And it's good for you!

It helps you release dopamine, oxytocin, and endorphins. It can help relieve stress and even boost your immune system.

One way to help cope with feelings of guilt in shame is to reward yourself after you masturbate. This can help reframe your understanding. After all, you should be rewarded for self-love.

Going Solo Should Be Fun

It's easy for masturbation to take a back burner when life gets busy. But like all self-care, it should be prioritized.

Thankfully, by introducing these male masturbation techniques to your routine, you can make your experience an enjoyable one. Whether you're trying things out for the first time, trying to overcome sexual health issues, or simply trying to spice things up, these tips can help.
