Mutual masturbation
Tips on enjoying masturbation together as a couple.
Masturbating together, usually as a couple, is a common and safe way to enjoy sex. Masturbation means the stimulation of the genitals (penis, testicles, vagina, clitoris) for pleasure. Partners can enjoy masturbating each other or watching one another masturbate; and masturbating together can deepen a couple's intimacy. Find out more about self masturbation here.
Erotic massage:
Many couples enjoy arousing one another with body massage. They stimulate each other's genitals with their hands, bodies or mouths. With stimulation, you can take turns bringing each other to orgasm. If sex toys are used, do not share them and wash them thoroughly after each use. Remember that if couples perform oral sex on each other there is a risk of infection. Find out more here.
Body rubbing:
Many couples rub their bodies together, particularly their genitals, for intense sexual pleasure and orgasm. Important: Pregnancy is possible if semen or pre-cum is spilled near the opening of the vagina. Find out more information on mutual masturbation.
Reasons to enjoy mutual masturbation:
Masturbation can be used as a form of safer sex, if no bodily fluids are exchanged. However, if there is skin to skin contact, even in the absence of sexual intercourse, then some infections can still be passed - such as herpes/pubic lice and the wart virus.
Mutual masturbation can give complete satisfaction to both partners and, for both men and women, it can take off a lot of the pressure to have sexual intercourse.
Masturbation is a great way to prolong sex play and enhance orgasm.
Masturbation helps partners learn about their own bodies – and each other’s bodies - and to learn how to give themselves and each other sexual pleasure.
Men usually have one orgasm, and it is may be some time before they can have another. Women can have frequent and multiple orgasms.
Most women get orgasms when the clitoris is stimulated - whether or not they are having vaginal intercourse. Sex play without intercourse can help women learn how to have orgasms. Men also enjoy masturbation - even if they're shy about it in front of their partners.
Remember:
Mutual masturbation is almost the same as foreplay. Both add to sexual excitement and pleasure. The difference is that foreplay is meant to lead to intercourse. Mutual masturbation may also add to a couple's desire to take a risk and have intercourse. Couples who use mutual masturbation for birth control must not give in to that impulse. It can be difficult for many people to abstain from intercourse for long periods. So, if you plan to have intercourse, make sure you know about safe sex and contraception.
Also bear in mind the risk of sexually transmitted infections if there is any skin to skin contact or exchange of bodily fluids.
