Your basic sex-ed class may have covered the technical names of body parts, but when it came to the juicy questions, like: What does masturbating feel like? Well, you probably never got to that chapter. Getting it on with your bad self can be a great way to learn about your body and what makes you feel sexy. Though getting frisky with a boo may be a hot way to explore yourself, sometimes the most satisfying sex is a one-player game.
From using your hands to incorporating toys or dildos, there is no shortage of ways to get it on with yourself. Although many people masturbate to climax, it can be super pleasurable to touch yourself without orgasming too. Of course, if you've never gotten down and dirty with yourself or you're wondering how it feels for others, it's natural to consider what other people's masturbating feels like. Talking about sex and sexuality in a safe and consensual way can be a great method to de-stigmatize doing the dirty while educating others on the healthiest ways to keep up the heat.
