Most men learn to masturbate quickly and quietly, as testosterone-loaded

adolescents worried about parents or siblings walking in and disturbing
their personal time. And those secretive, fast-and-furious habits can spill
into adulthood, says Emily Morse, a sex expert and host of the popular
podcast Sex with Emily. A lot of guys rush the process and never think
about how they can spice up their solo sex life, Morse says.
Are you missing out on moves that could make your orgasms even more
pleasurable? Try these ve tips the next time you're alone.
1. Gain an Edge
The 5-minute speed jerk is ne for most days. But if you have a little
extra time, edgingalso called the stop-and-start methodcan help
you achieve more intense orgasms, Morse promises. Work yourself right
up to the edge of ejaculation and then take a short breakjust enough
time for your erection to soften a bit. Then start the process over again.

Do this three or four times before you orgasm, and youll experience
more profound, powerful ejaculations, Morse says.
2. Change Hands
Youve probably tried incorporating your non-dominant hand into your
solo act. You may have even attempted the mythical Strangersitting
on your hand until it falls asleep, and then using it to simulate the
sensation of someone else doing the dirty work. But Morse advises using
your opposite hand in more creative ways. Turn your hand so it slides
down your penis forenger-rst, and twist it as you stroke. You could
also try holding your penis against your stomach with one hand while
rapidly sliding a few ngers up and down the underside of your shaft.
Like switching positions during sex, mixing in unfamiliar hand
maneuvers can break up the tedium, Morse says.
3. Introduce a New Friend
Toys arent just for her pleasure. I recommend the Fleshlight to any man
who really wants to spice up his solo play, Morse says. The popular
piece is a handheld column that you slip over your penis to simulate the
feel of real vaginal or anal sex. (You can even buy a phone strap
accessory to free up both your hands.) Just be warned: Fleshlight.com is
NOT safe for work.
4. Start from the Bottom
A half dozen research papersmostly on male dogs or rodentshave
shown massaging or stimulating the epididymis can bring about
ejaculation. A scan of online message boards related to the masturbatory
arts suggests human males really get o on this, too. The epididymis is
located at the very base of your penis, between your shaft and your
scrotum, and it stores sperm and links your testicles to your vas deferens.
Massage it while you do your thing, and prepare for some wild new
sensations.
5. Bring Your Boys into the Mix
There are nearly as many sex-specic nerve endings in your testicles as
there are in your penis. Dont neglect them, Morse urges. While
individual preferences and sensitivities play a big role in what youll
enjoy, a lot of men discover an untapped source of stimulationand
more intense orgasmsby pulling down on their testicles rhythmically

before ejaculation. (Some guys learn to ignore their penis entirely as they
approach the big O, Morse says.)
