9 tips for divine solo sex

A quick and sneaky jerk-off or fingering? Fine. But solo satisfaction can also be more elaborate, sensory and deliciously selfish. Whether it’s a daily or once in a while thing for you: these tips take your solo sex to a higher level.

1. Make a moment of it
Close the door. Set your phone to silent. Dim the lights. Select a playlist. Solo sex is even better if you don’t squeeze it in between tasks, but sit down and really take the time for it. Literally.

2. Don’t immediately go to your favorite spot
Do you usually jump straight to your clit or cock? That can wait. Stroke your legs, your stomach, your chest, the insides of your wrists. Let your body warm up, and your arousal build slowly.

3. Use lube (even if you’re wet)
Lube intensifies everything. Whether you play with your fingers or with a toy, lube gives more feeling, more sliding, and prevents you from getting too hard or too dry.

NOTE: always use water-based lube with silicone toys, otherwise you’ll damage the material. 

4. Play with positions
Try lying on your stomach. Or kneeling. Or standing in front of a mirror. A different posture triggers different sensations and fantasies. Maybe you’ll discover your new favorite move.

5. Change your rhythm and pressure
Always the same pace? Break the pattern. Fast, slow, stationary. Playing with variation makes your body more sensitive and your climax less predictable.

6. Find something that arouses you
Use your imagination, read/listen to an exciting story or watch a sexy video on DUSK. Everything that stimulates you and gets you in the mood is allowed. Let your head sync with your body.

7. Play with edging
Bring yourself close to orgasm and stop just before. Let it dwindle and start over. Edging builds up your arousal until the point of getting unbearable. And it often leads to more intense, longer orgasms. Don’t rush, but tease.

8. Don’t forget your breathing
Breathe deeply, move with what you feel. By following your breath, you stay more present in your body. And that makes orgasms fuller, rounder, sometimes even more explosive.

9. And just keep lying down for a little longer
Climaxed? Good. But don’t jump up right away. Stroke yourself. Close your eyes. Or stretch like you’ve just finished a sexy workout. Because really: it was.

Solo sex before bedtime, as you may have been doing for years, is great. To relax, for a quick release. But solo sex can be so much more than a habit. There’s room for variety, imagination, and surprise. So go for it!
