Self-discovery isn't limited to our minds. To truly know ourselves, we must also learn to discover our bodies!
-
Know yourself
It's important to experiment at your own pace to learn what pleases and displeases you. Masturbation doesn't have to be genital-focused; it can include exploring various parts of the body. The goal isn't necessarily orgasm. -
Allow complete relaxation
Masturbation triggers the production of endorphins—chemicals that promote calm and well-being. These chemicals promote stress reduction and restful sleep. Additionally, they can help soothe pain associated with migraines and menstrual cramps. What's better than combining business with pleasure? -
Promote good health
Self-stimulation of erogenous zones increases heart rate and acts as a light workout, much like walking. In addition to promoting complete relaxation and better sleep, as mentioned above, self-stimulation plays a significant role in promoting better psychological health. In fact, the relaxation felt, combined with a better connection to oneself, can promote better self-esteem and overall well-being. -
Maximize pleasure alone and as a couple
Knowing what excites us naturally allows us to enhance the pleasure we feel. It's a way for you to take control of your well-being and sexual pleasure. First and foremost, it's important to communicate. If you don't know what excites you sexually, how can your partner know? Starting with a foundation that both you and your partner know will help you mutually discover each other's bodies with respect and pleasure.
Some tips to help you discover your body:
-
Taking care of your body: getting enough sleep, eating well, limiting smoking and alcohol consumption... Making sure it has what it needs to fully participate in life! Sexual health and general health are closely linked.
-
Smoking cigarettes causes blood vessels to constrict and reduces the proper rhythm of blood flow throughout the body, including to erogenous zones. In women, this can lead to a reduction in natural lubrication. In men, it can lead to erectile dysfunction.
-
Consuming too much alcohol may have a negative impact on sexual abilities and performance in both men and women.
-
Foster communication with your partner: As mentioned above, discussing your preferences during intimate moments with your partner is very important. Both partners are entitled to their ideas and pleasures. However, it's important to keep in mind that you shouldn't prioritize your partner's satisfaction if it makes you uncomfortable. This is why good communication is essential.
-
Choose a convenient time: Self-exploration is an intimate act that requires a private space conducive to relaxation and presence of mind. We recommend creating a space that facilitates this process (stimulating multiple senses, no distractions) and taking your time!
