How to Enhance Solo Play Using Adult Toys

Self-pleasure and self-exploration are topics that need an open and honest discussion. Research has shown that self-pleasure is a natural and healthy part of human sexuality that has multiple physical and emotional benefits. It not only relieves physical tension, stress, and menstrual cramps but also improves mood and lends quality sleep cycles. 

Everyone has access to their own feelings of desire and arousal within themselves, and using adult sex toys during solo play is a great opportunity to explore that. They not only let you learn about your body, what feels good, and how to identify your sexual boundaries but also builds greater self-acceptance and improved communication with oneself. 

Benefits of Incorporating Adult Toys for Solo Play

These days, owning and using a vibrator is nothing unusual. Research suggests that one in three people over 40 have at least one toy and 42% of women say they use one regularly. Few know the benefits of using a vibrator though and what a vibrator does exactly that feels so good! Using a vibrator for self-pleasure is a natural form of self-exploration and has health benefits both in the bedroom and out. 

1. More sustained sensations: Humans get tired. While sex toys can run out of battery life, their run time is usually much longer than the average human's. Vibrators and dildos can help with this. 

1. Adjust According to Your Needs: Because you know precisely how you're feeling while using a sex toy on yourself, you can adjust accordingly. Do you want more vibration? You can change the toy to fit your needs without even thinking about it and instantly feel more pleasure. You don't have to direct someone else to reach just the right spot. 
2. Overcome sexual anxiety: Using a vibrator can be a powerful tool for self-discovery and can also help you overcome any sexual anxiety you're experiencing, and help you get more comfortable with your body. You can let go of inhibitions and enjoy yourself during your solo or partner sesh. 
3. Anytime, anywhere: Make your toy your best friend and carry it with you wherever you go. The ease of easing in and relaxing with your favorite sex toy for an evening (or afternoon) of adventure is what dreams are made of. 
4. Better sleep: According to studies, an orgasm before bed can do wonders for those who want to sleep sound, better-quality sleep, thanks to the fact that when you climax you produce the sleep-inducing hormone, prolactin. 
5. Conquer stress: Sexual activity and using a vibrator can contribute to lower anxiety and depression scores, thanks to the mood-boosting hormone oxytocin. These hormones are known as the ‘feel-good’ hormones because they are linked to happiness. Regular boosts of these hormones through orgasms with a vibrator can contribute towards feeling less stressed and more positive.
6. Aid heart health: During orgasm, our heart rate shoots up at the beginning and gradually goes back to a baseline level at the end. Quality of the sexual experience was high and had a lower risk of hypertension, otherwise known as high blood pressure, which in turn reduced their risk of a heart attack or stroke.
7. Work your way through sexual issues and tensions at your pace. Women experience vaginal muscles spasm during penetration. Dilator kits can help with this condition in some cases. Just start with the slimmest toy and, when your body is comfortable and accepting of the width, you can move onwards and upwards. 
8. Expand your pleasure horizons: Just want to have some fun? Using a vibrator will definitely help, especially if you choose one with different settings and modes that you haven't tried before.

Tips to Enhance Solo Play Using Adult Toys

While it’s certainly worth discovering new ideas for using adult toys in solo play as a means to satisfy your sexual desires and bring about feel-good orgasms, there is greater interest in it because of the benefits that extend to your emotional, physical, and psychological health. Here are some ways in which you can enhance solo play by using sex toys:

1. Set the mood by having dim lighting, music of your choice, and creating a comfortable space that is suitable for you. 
2. Give yourself space: Motorized sex toys do make noise, so make sure to turn on your new toy when you're alone before trying to use it when someone is in a nearby room. 
3. Use lubricants: types and benefits for a smoother experience. Lubricants can make partnered sex more comfortable and fun — and the same is true for sex toy masturbation, especially when you are inserting something or using a stroker. In general, you'll want to use a water-based lubricant whenever you're using a silicone sex toy.
4. Experiment with sensation or sensory play along with your toy. Try using a blindfold or scarf over the eyes while masturbating for added eroticism and pleasure. Or, with one hand, rub ice on different body parts. Add to the sensation while using your toy of choice to see if you like it.
5. Listen to audio erotica aka audio porn to spice up your self-pleasure routine because it involves one of your senses that's typically ignored during solo sex: sounds.
6. Ask your partner to listen to your solo sesh: We know that most people masturbate on their own. But, letting your partner listen to you (with consent, of course) moan and groan freely can spice up your session. 
7. Explore different techniques and positions to maximize pleasure. Try whatever feels right to you. If something new doesn’t feel right or pleasurable, or is downright painful or scary, don’t continue.

The best thing you can do for yourself is find your pleasure zone. It's your time to be selfish, find what you like, and satisfy yourself. And it's guilt-free!
