Hi everyone,
I'm new to this board but have a question for everyone. Whats the most effective way you have with pleasuring yourself? I just can not pleasure myself without a toy i dont know if im doing it wrong or i just dont know how to do it proper but i just get no effect from it at all but if DH uses his fingers on me i love it! TIA
Re: Pleasuring yourself
I use both methods.
When I am getting ready for work, and the house is empty, and I just feel the urge, I use my toy. That works pretty quickly for me.
At night, when I cannot relax enough to go to sleep, I usually just use my finger. I find that fantasizing about sex helps it along - at least for me it does. I also do it "manually" if I want it to last longer than with the toy.
I love it when DH plays with me! Sometimes he will say all he wants is to play, then we end up having awesome sex LOL........it is always good.
One suggestion....watch some porn before you start pleasuring yourself might help you reach orgasm without a toy, then masturbate while watching.
HTH
WaitAMinuteHere - are you able to orgasm WITH a toy but can't with just your fingers? You might simply have trouble getting enough stimulation to your clitoris. This is actually quite normal - many women have clitorises that are fully-hooded and need a bit more power to get to. Vibrators have WAY more potential for stimulation than just a couple fingers. On that regard, the next time you and your DH start getting intimate, ask him to show you how he does it. He might be using some time-honed technique that he can help teach you. Keep in mind, many women can't get themselves off without something battery-powered, it's nothing to be ashamed of, just start buying AA's at your local bulk-store.
That, or you might just need to get yourself in the mood beforehand (pun intended). Like others have suggested, try watching some porn, start fantasizing, or whatever gets you in the mood. You might even be psyching yourself out via performance-pressure - you're worried you can't do it manually, and the stress kills your arousal.
Odds are it's some combination of both a physiological problem and pyscological stuff. Keep working at it.
