Is this the golden age of masturbation? There are many arguments in support of this theory. For example, while masturbation is not yet something to be discussed at a formal dinner party, there is still a greater openness on the subject than in previous years. More people, especially men, not only admit that they indulge in masturbation, but often talk about it without feeling embarrassed. There are many lubricants to choose from, as well as a variety of sex toys that can add to the experience. Studies indicate that it can even be beneficial for penile health by keeping the member exercised. And of course, thanks to the Internet, there is a wide range of visual aids that are easily accessible to most men.

Visual aids

However, those visual aids, specifically pornographic videos, photographs, gifs, etc. – could be considered a double-edged sword. Sure, men tend to be visual creatures and therefore can respond especially well to visual aids when masturbating. But as with anything else, using visual aids alone might not be the best idea in the long run.

For one thing, relying only on visual aids for masturbation can make it harder to masturbate when a guy is horny, but let’s say the internet isn’t working or he’s staying with a friend and unable to access porn. Also, men in adult videos tend to be overly gifted; Seeing a consistent diet of men with extra-large organs that pleasures women who ooh and aah about their size can make a normally gifted man feel inferior, if only on a subconscious level.

Caress without visuals

Skipping visual aids, at least occasionally, can have benefits for a man. For example, it can improve your memory. If you challenge yourself to use memories of real sexual experiences from your own past, this can help keep your memory sharp. The use of real life experiences also holds him firmly as a real gamer in his masturbation activity – most of the time when he watches porn a man is a voyeurist who watches the action rather than being an active part of it.

A man can also create his own erotic fantasies to masturbate, which exercises both his penis and his mind. Not only can he create exactly the scenario he wants, but he can have full control over it, so that he and any of the fantasy players act and react in the way that pleases him the most.

And sometimes a man may want to masturbate without using fantasies or past experiences, but simply concentrating on being in the “here and now” of masturbation. Focus on what you are doing and how you feel: the good sensations that each stroke provides, how different strokes and grips provide different sensations, how it feels to move your free hand over other parts of your body, etc. – You can have a different experience and at the same time learn or relearn valuable information about yourself that you can use when having sex as a couple.

A man doesn’t have to give up visual aids when masturbating, of course. But at least “changing” it from time to time is a good idea.

Whether their masturbation includes visual aids or not, men should regularly apply a top-notch penis health cream. (Health professionals recommend Man 1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven to be gentle and safe for the skin) to better maintain the health of the penis. Because men sometimes overindulge in the masturbation department and develop a raw, sore penis, a cream with a high-quality emollient (such as shea butter) and a preferred moisturizing agent (think about the Vitamin E). Also, too rough handling or a death grip can severely desensitize the penis, making masturbation (and partner sex) less enjoyable. A cream with a neuroprotective ingredient like L-carnitine can help maintain proper penile sensation.
