11 Male Masturbation Techniques to Enhance Solo Play

The best penis masturbation experience doesn't always have to be a hand job. Although a nice lubey hand job can be amazing, there are many ways for you to experience solo pleasure without the standard grip-and-tug method. At a certain point, doing the same thing over and over every time you masturbate is going to get mundane and repetitive. So, to help you out we have put together 11 male masturbation techniques you can try tonight so that you can enhance your masturbation experience!
1. Tease Your Tip
When lying in bed, take the shaft of your penis in either hand and hold it straight upwards towards the ceiling. Drape the blanket over the top of your penis so it rests gently over your tip and isn’t being pulled down. With your free hand, reach outside of the blanket—above the tip of your penis—and lightly place the palm of your hand on top of the blanket.
Feel the sensations of the blanket moving on your tip as you lightly rub back and forth and in circles using your palm! Alternate speed and pressure to find just the right combination. Just be aware that this particular masturbation technique can make the head of your penis super sensitive. If it doesn’t get you off, it’s certainly going to turn you on!
2. Experiment With a Masturbation Sleeve
Masturbator sleeves also double as sliding, sucking products that feel amazing. Instead of gripping around your shaft, lubricate and slide the sleeve on, and grip the tip of the toy just over the head of your penis. Pulling and releasing the tension by closing and opening the open end will cause the sleeve to slide up and down your shaft, creating an incredible suction! Using a masturbator like the Easy Grip Masturbator shown below, is a wonderful way to spice up masturbation.
3. Heat Things Up
A little goes a long way with warming lubricants, and the soothing, smooth glide coupled with tingling warming sensations lets you feel like you’re inside a wet, hot lover as you stroke.
Bonus: Water-based warming lubes like the Astroglide are a safe choice when using any realistic vagina masturbator!
4. Try The "X Marks The Spot" Technique
Lay on your back with your erection lying close to your stomach. Cross your arms one over the other to form an “X” shape on your torso. Arrange them so your palms are resting on the opposite hip/leg (you’re not crossing your arms like you’re angry) and the center of the “X” is above the head of your penis. Utilize the softer skin of your inner arms while you pump your cock between your stomach and arms. This is a great workout for your abdominal and pelvic muscles and offers a fun, hands-free thrust!
5. Play With Faux Oral
Remember that your fingers shouldn’t be gripping during this male masturbation technique—you should be sliding through with ease, mimicking the motion of pressing your penis through taut lips. To add a little extra sensation, remove your non-dominant hand from the shaft, place it behind your fingers, and gently squeeze your head as you push through to make this method one of the best masturbation experiences ever. It feels like soft, wet lips and a gripping mouth. Get the rhythm right and you will orgasm in no time!
6. Play With Your Balls
7. Switch Positions
If you typically stand while you masturbate, try lying down. If you like to sit down, try standing up and see how it feels. You can also switch up exactly where you masturbate. So if you’re typically in the bedroom every time you stroke yourself, maybe switch it up and take things into the shower.
8. Experiment With a Cock Ring

9. Experiment With Edging
Edging can be an absolutely amazing experience when it comes to masturbation for anybody. To put it plainly, edging is an orgasm control technique. When a person stimulates themselves sexually but slows or momentarily stops masturbating just before reaching orgasm. They will then resume masturbating, continuing this process of reaching the “edge” of orgasm, holding off for as long as possible before experiencing an intense climax.
So, if this sounds like something you might enjoy - give it a try! Sit back and start playing with yourself. Once you get to a point where you feel like you’re close to orgasm, that’s when you want to stop everything. Take a few seconds to calm your system down, and then go back into it. You can do this multiple times until you’re ready to have the most intense orgasm of your life.
10. Use Your Non-Dominant Hand
If switching positions doesn’t seem like a fun enough technique to play around with, another option is to switch up which hand you are using. Typically when masturbating people will use their dominant hand because it’s easiest to navigate. However, using your non-dominant hand can be really kinky. It will feel like completely new territory and might even feel like someone else is playing with you!
11. Incorporate Anal Play
You know there’s no way that we could write this whole article without bringing up the amazing benefits of incorporating anal play into your masturbation routine! This is a really great way to spice things up, especially if you’ve never experimented with anal play before. The anal canal has a lot of nerve endings and can feel amazing when stimulated for anyone, but especially for people with a prostate. When the prostate is stimulated you can have a next-level orgasm that will take you over the edge.
Tip: Make sure you use LOTS of lubricant during anal play, as the anal canal does not lubricant itself. Take it slow, and stop if you are uncomfortable in any way!
You can start with simply stimulating the perineum, or taint. Put some spit or lube on your fingers and gently rub circles over the taint while you’re rubbing your shaft. If you’re looking for more, you can start playing with toys. There are plenty of prostate massagers, like the 7 Function Prostate Stimulator shown below, that are created specifically to target your prostate and will provide you with amazingly pleasurable results.



I like to sit on my hand untill it gets numb then jack off. It feels like someone else is doing it
I love to jerk it with a rubber glove and lube! Feels great. Mmmmm
I am locked in a chastity cage so I can only masturbate when my wife lets me. And only in front of her . At first it was awkward but when she told me it turns her on I definitely enjoy doing it in front of her now . She makes me hand on the edge far a while and than right before I go over the edge she stops me and cum just drains out of me . With doing a ruin like that it keeps me good and horny all the time so I please her all the time. But sometimes when I start masturbating in front of her, she will take over and then she’ll let me have a full good orgasm !
A little note on “edging”: When you need to calm down before “The Big Event” overtakes you, remember to RELAX whatever you’ve got going on in your genital region. If you’ll notice, there is a lot of butt-clenching and abdominal muscle tensing going on, as if you’re pushing your penis into a woman/man (as the case may be with your individual imagination). Be aware of this and get everything to relax as you take a little break from polishing your rocket so it won’t blast off. Things will chill a LOT quicker this way and make the edging more “manageable”. Hope this helps in the quest to ‘hold off’ a few times.
You don’t need to jerk yourself off . There are so many women out there willing to fuck. Keep searching online till you find them.
You won’t get a porn star but you’re no prize either.
