Mutual Masturbation: A Guide to Intimacy with Your Partner(s)

When we hear the word “masturbation,” we oftentimes think of it as a purely solo endeavor done in the secluded privacy of one’s home. Allow us to enlighten you and introduce the notion of “mutual masturbation” - an experience that more and more couples are exploring as they look for ways to maintain intimacy. Let’s explore what mutual masturbation is, why it’s important, and give you some examples of how you can incorporate it into your sex life. You’ll never think of masturbation the same way again…we promise.

First things first, let's define mutual masturbation. Mutual masturbation is the act of masturbating in front of your partner while they do the same. It's an opportunity for both partners to explore their own bodies while also enjoying the sight of their partner doing the same. It’s a physically intimate act that can help increase arousal and create a deeper emotional connection between partners. This experience can be heightened by using couples' toys like vibrators, dildos and strokers.

By engaging in this activity together, couples can learn more about one another’s bodies, including which areas are more sensitive to touch. This knowledge can be later used to create a more satisfying sexual experience for both parties.

Couples that live apart can use video chat platforms like Zoom or Skype to have a virtual session of mutual masturbation. Those who are seeking an even more realistic and thrilling connection can use our app-controlled Lili vibrating egg with its easy-to-use mobile connectivity. This is a great alternative to physical intimacy when you can’t be together, and it can go a long way in keeping the connection alive.

Partners can agree to watch each other masturbate with a specific sex toy or challenge each other to reach orgasm without using their hands or in different positions. This act of exploration can lead to new and exciting sexual experiences.

Especially for couples practicing abstinence or those who want to engage in sexual activities without the risk of unwanted pregnancies, STDs, or STIs. It can also be a great way to reconnect and show affection to your partner when you simply don’t feel like having intercourse.

Mutual masturbation is an intimate activity that can deepen the emotional and sexual connection between partners. It provides an opportunity for both partners to explore their individual desires and learn more about each other's bodies at the same time. This act can also be a way to enhance a long-distance relationship, explore new sexual fantasies and kinks, or as an alternative to intercourse. So, why not try mutual masturbation with your partner and see how it can spice up your sex life?
