Healthy Solo Masturbation and Mutual Masturbation

Welcome to the 1st episode of Get Sex’d, where we're breaking down barriers and having an open conversation about a topic that's often whispered about but rarely discussed openly – masturbation. I'm your host, Marissa Austin, also known as the Queen of Sensuality, a certified Sex Therapist, and an Intimacy & Relationship Coach.

Masturbation is a natural and healthy part of human sexuality, yet it's often shrouded in stigma and shame, which can stem from childhood. But today, we're debunking those myths and embracing self-pleasure as an essential aspect of sexual health and well-being.

Studies show that the average person masturbates around 3-4 times per week, yet many people still feel embarrassed or ashamed to talk about it. But I'm here to tell you that there's nothing to be ashamed of – masturbation is normal, natural, and can even have numerous benefits for both physical and mental health.

For starters, masturbation is a powerful form of self-exploration and self-expression. It allows individuals to get to know their own bodies, desires, and preferences, which can lead to increased confidence and sexual satisfaction. Plus, it's a great way to relieve stress and tension, promoting relaxation and overall well-being.

But masturbation isn't just about solo pleasure – it can also be a form of intimacy, especially when practiced with a partner through mutual masturbation. By sharing this intimate act with a partner, couples can deepen their trust, communication, and connection, leading to more satisfying sexual experiences.

So, how do you incorporate mutual masturbation into your sexy time? It's all about setting the mood and creating a safe, comfortable space for exploration. Whether you're in the bedroom or the living room, dim the lights, put on some soft music, and let yourselves relax into the experience.

And for couples who live apart or spend extended periods away from each other, there's still a way to enjoy mutual masturbation – over FaceTime or video chat. While it may not be the same as being together in person, it can still be a fun and intimate way to connect with your partner and explore your desires together.

Of course, like anything else, it's essential to strike a balance. While moderate masturbation has many benefits, excessive masturbation can have negative effects, such as desensitization and decreased sexual satisfaction. So, listen to your body and pay attention to how you're feeling – and don't be afraid to mix things up and try new techniques from time to time.

In conclusion, masturbation is a natural, normal, and healthy part of human sexuality. It's time to shed the shame and embrace self-pleasure as a vital aspect of sexual health and well-being. So, whether you're flying solo or enjoying a shared experience with a partner, remember to embrace your desires, explore your pleasure, and above all, enjoy the journey.
