As Woody Allen famously said in Annie Hall, masturbation is sex with someone you love. It's for that very reason that this sacred relationship should be preserved. Still, people manage to sully the hallowed act. Is there a wrong way to masturbate, per se? Absolutely. There are several, in fact, and people fall victim to them, despite appalling consequences. Sometimes it ends in injury, other times it ends in arrest, but it's dreadful either way. National Masturbation Month may have just ended, but celebrating proper techniques and best practices are evergreen. For all of the fap lords out there, this is common knowledge. For all of the novices, consider it sage advice.

There are some things you just don't do, and public masturbation falls under that category.
For example, take the dude who was filmed openly jerking off on a bus in Philadelphia recently. Not only did he continue when the woman seated next to him told him to stop, he did it in the presence of a child. Do you really want to risk ending up a sex offender because you couldn't wait to get home? Not worth it, bro.

You've got to be a grade-A moron to jack a dry one. Taking care of your body includes using proper lubrication when masturbating. What happens when you're having a pre-work jerk and, because of dryness and friction, you create a bloody situation? Are you going to tell your boss and co-workers you were late because you rubbed yourself raw? Shit, vikings probably handled themselves with more care than that. Do yourself a favor and moisturize your situation.

Now, with that said, don't be the other idiot who uses something inappropriate as lube. Despite knowledge of the potential outcome, someone always puts Icy Hot on or around their junk, thus making the act of pleasuring oneself considerably less pleasurable. This is probably one of the many ways that they torture spies; don't do it to yourself, pun totally intended.

Masturbation officially becomes a problem when you're doing it instead of talking to people, or being intimate with them. If you spend the majority of the day with your hands near your crotch or in your pants, you spend too much time "alone." This is yet another bad sign.

Those programs that come on Cinemax late at night are obviously made for the fapping, but they cater to horny teenagers unable to get their hands on respectable porn. If you're an adult with access to hardcore smut, there's cause for concern if you're still masturbating to people grinding up against each other with no actual penetration. It's like watching D-League basketball—you're only going to want to see the real thing.
The prophets Desus and Mero have said that if you know more than like, three porn stars by name, you're officially disgusting (which is cool; no judgement here). If you know multiple softcore stars (the ones who only do softcore films) by name, who are you?

If you take yourself out on dates, romance yourself, and end the night with yourself, it's just sad. Sad like the "Hello" scene from The 40-Year-Old Virgin. It signals peak loneliness, and, worse, that you're cool with it. Do you really need to create ambiance when you masturbate? You've resigned yourself to a bleak reality if this is how you're living.

First off, if you beat it to Jenna Jameson at 7:43 p.m. everyday, you must enjoy masturbating in a time machine. Like, you're really into nostalgia, dude. But that routine is rather monotonous, no? It's not like your process has to be completely spontaneous, but doing the same thing repeatedly is boring. You're robbing yourself of the thrill.

Pro tip: Women don't like unrequested dick pics. If you send a woman pictures or video of you tugging away (to completion, albeit) that she didn't ask for, you're gambling with your reputation. Hell, you're rolling the dice even if she did ask. When she receives these unpleasant surprises, she's going to share them with her friends and they're all going to laugh at you. Save yourself from becoming a punchline.

You don't win any prizes for not masturbating. (That goes for you too, ladies.) They don't have awards for that, so there's simply no good reason for it. Even if you enjoy a healthy sex life with another human being, a time will come when your dominant hand—or your weak hand; you have to work on your weak hand—calls you. Otherwise, you'd be a walking C4 brick.
You're probably lying if you claim to abstain from masturbation anyway, but people still try to hide behind that lie. You're only doing yourself a disservice, just like not masturbating at all.

Well, before we focus on what you may be doing wrong, let's talk about what you're doing right: Hey, you have an open attitude about masturbation, you're cool with giving yourself permission to have a good time, and you know where the clitoris is (which is more than I can say for a lot of guys). So cut yourself some slack.
Actually, unless you're on medication that can dampen your sex drive, such as some antidepressants, your biggest obstacle might be your concern about whether or not you're going to climax. Recent studies have shown that for a woman to orgasm, the parts of her brain associated with anxiety need to shut down. In other words, stress can prevent you from peaking. So, next time you settle into a little game of "solitaire," stop worrying about the big O, and just focus on relaxing and enjoying yourself.
Before you get started, have a glass of wine and take a soothing, warm bath. Not only will it help you de-stress, it'll increase circulation and blood flow to your pelvis, which is necessary to orgasm. Also, realize that your climax depends as much on mental arousal as it does on physical stimulation. So, make sure you indulge in lots of sexy fantasies. If you need inspiration, read an erotic story or watch a sexy flick. Take long, deep breaths and let your mind go.
The right touching technique is also key. You may not be giving yourself enough time to let your excitement build. Rather than going straight for the vibrator, start slow with manual stimulation, applying light pressure to your clitoris and labia. (Adding a water-based lube will enhance your pleasure.) When you introduce your vibrator, start off on a low setting and use light pressure, letting it graze your vulva and clitoris so the blood flow increases gradually. Then, experiment with different speeds and pressure, to find out what feels best. Signs your arousal is building: rapid breathing, vaginal lubrication, pelvic thrusts, clenching of the fingers or toes, and your genitals feel tingly to the touch.
You might also want to take short breaks every so often, especially if you're taking a long time, to avoid clitoral oversensitization, which would make any more stimulation uncomfortable.
Bottom line: The more you pressure yourself, the less likely you are to orgasm. So just relax, enjoy the ride, and you're bound to get there.
For the past week I've been unable to ejaculate when masturbating, which is extremely unusual for me as I'm only 16 years old. This has been concerning me for the past few days, as I have no idea what could have caused this. This has never occurred in my life previously at any time, help would be greatly appreciated.
