Yes, girls masturbate too
Some women may feel guilty or ashamed about masturbation due to cultural and societal norms. Women need to relax too, and no one can stimulate your genitals better than you.
According to Sigmund Freud, female orgasm should only occur through vaginal penetration during heterosexual sex, which we now know is not true, as statistics show that up to 90% of women are unable to achieve orgasm through sexual penetration. In the past, masturbation was seen as a sign of psychological problems or immaturity.
"Yes daddy!", or how to do it right
Every woman is unique and what works for one may not work for another. You can start by exploring your body by touching different parts of your body with your hands and observing what feels good to you.
Lubricants can also help you achieve the desired experience, if hand movements alone are not enough: you can use some of the erotic tools (vibrator, massage head, etc.) with gentle circling, pressure or tapping.
Finally, you can focus on your imagination or visual stimulation, for example by imagining scenarios that excite you. Take your time, engage your breath and muscles. Orgasm is not the goal, but a pleasant bonus. Focus on the journey, not the result.
It starts with comfort
Create a comfortable environment, find a quiet place where no one will disturb you. You can prepare soft pillows, pleasant music or dim lighting, this can help to set the right atmosphere.
The beauty of discovering your own body
One of the benefits of masturbation is sexual awareness, exploring our bodies can help us better understand what is pleasurable for us and improve our sexual experiences with our partner. How? Because it allows for better communication about wants and needs!
Lubricating gel is your friend
It is a great helper not only during intimate play with your partner, but also in ensuring comfort, while also helping to prevent health problems (minor injuries or skin irritation). It minimizes friction and thus reduces discomfort during sex and masturbation.
Lubrication is key if you want to increase the feeling of pleasure, a water-based or silicone-based lubricant is ideal. Choosing the right type depends on your needs and preferences.
Hygiene is essential
Hygiene is important to prevent infections and ensure comfort. Wash your hands before masturbation, avoid dirty environments and unclean tools. If possible, take a shower or at least clean your intimate areas.
After using sex toys, wash them according to the manufacturer's instructions. Sharing sex toys without proper disinfection can lead to the transmission of infections and sexually transmitted diseases.
If you tend to have sensitive skin, choose hypoallergenic products and mild soaps. By following hygiene rules, you ensure a more pleasant and safe experience.
Don't be afraid to use toys
Erotic devices such as vibrators, dildos, or womanizers can be part of female masturbation and can help achieve different types of orgasms. Women can achieve orgasm in different ways, such as clitoral, vaginal, or a combination of both. Masturbation allows you to experiment and explore these possibilities.
Yeaaah, don't do these
Intimate areas are a sensitive area and need to be taken into account. There may be more danger than it seems at first glance.
Beware of dangerous products
Be careful what products you use on your vagina. Just as we choose intimate hygiene gels, we should be careful when choosing lubricants and other products so as not to cause health complications.
Excessive masturbation can sometimes be harmful
Masturbation itself is not harmful, but excessive masturbation can have negative effects on physical or mental health.
How do you know if you are masturbating too often?
- If it interferes with your daily life (work, relationships)
- It causes you physical pain or discomfort
- It is addictive and replaces other activities or hobbies
- It makes you feel guilty or frustrated
Excessive or aggressive masturbation techniques can lead to decreased sensitivity of the vulva, meaning that women may need more intense stimulation over time to achieve the same level of arousal or pleasure.
Frequent use of sex toys or habituation to specific masturbation techniques can make it difficult to achieve orgasm during partnered sex. This can even create a psychological dependence on self-pleasure as the main source of sexual pleasure.
There is no scientific evidence that regular masturbation causes physical or psychological problems; on the contrary, it can be part of a healthy lifestyle.
Don't put objects in there that don't belong there!
As you could already read above, we should follow certain hygiene conditions, so as not to cause any gynecological problems resulting from it.
Avoid objects that are not intended for erotic use (e.g. bottles, vegetables), injury or infection may occur.
Furthermore, objects that have sharp or hard edges and last but not least, substances incompatible with the body such as chemicals, dyes, etc.
Never ignore pain that shouldn't be there.
If something hurts, stop. Pain can signal a health problem or injury. Repetitive movements or awkward positions during masturbation can cause lower back pain and long-term discomfort. If you notice any unusual symptoms (redness, discharge, pain), consult a doctor.
Tips for the best masturbation and positions
More recent research shows that individual masturbation complements or enhances couple sexual activity.
Try these positions
The position should be comfortable, but at the same time one that allows easy access to the genitals. There is no need to go into detail here, it depends on your preferences. You can find tips on sexual positions in our Sex School in the Sexual Positions section.
Porn and fantasy are at your service
In addition to watching porn, you can read an erotic story or act out sexual fantasies.
Imagination is one of the most common forms of sexual expression that occurs in the brain. These are mental images that are sexually arousing or erotic to an individual.
Beware of developing an addiction to watching porn and having unrealistic expectations of your partner. This is one of the most growing problems among people lately. The abundance of porn and fetishes has greatly distorted the view of beauty and ideas about healthy intimacy.

Why do we think this?
Masturbation has a number of benefits:
- Reduces stress
- Relieves internal tension
- Improves sleep
- Improves concentration
- Improves mood
- Relieves pain
- Serves as a prevention of anxiety and depression
- and more
Masturbation, especially when it leads to orgasm, releases the hormones oxytocin, dopamine, and antidiuretic hormone (vasopressin), just like sex with a partner. In other words, love and reward hormones!
Another benefit is sexual awareness, exploring our bodies can help us better understand what is pleasurable for us. It will improve our sexual experiences with our partner because it allows for better communication about our wants and needs.
It will increase self-esteem and confidence, which in turn contributes to better mental health and well-being, just by knowing our bodies better.
Also, for example, strengthening the pelvic floor. Masturbation with orgasmic contractions strengthens the pelvic floor muscles, which can therefore prevent health problems such as incontinence.
Uterine contractions help menstrual fluid and tissue leave the body more quickly, which helps relieve cramps. Orgasms can help women deal with their periods a little less.
Some studies have looked at how sexual arousal affects hormone levels in women. Orgasms have been found to increase estrogen levels in the body, and low estrogen levels due to stress have been linked to thinner skin, lower collagen levels, and increased wrinkle formation and dryness.
Masturbation can help reduce the body's stress response, which can reduce oil, sweat, and acne production, while improving the appearance of your skin.
