Masturbation has a number of benefits, including that it relieves stress, is safe, and is a great way to experiment with different sensations. Ladies, masturbating is a good way to get to know what your body likes and responds to. Women have different attitudes towards masturbation; some are really comfortable and enjoy it, others are uncomfortable touching themselves in a sexual way. Masturbation is totally normal and healthy part of everyone's sex life; so we say if you've got the urge, give it a go!

If you are learning to masturbate, there are no wrong ways to do it. We do have some masturbation advice, however, that can enhance your experience. The more you relax, experiment, and listen to your body, the more you will uncover new and interesting ways to experience sexual pleasure. Here are some basic tips to get you on your way to getting off solo.

Take your time. If you're just starting to experiment with masturbation, make sure you have plenty of time and privacy so you can relax. The last thing you need to worry about is getting caught or being late for something. Unless, of course, that is a turn-on for you.

Set the mood. This can be literal, as in put on some mood music and light some candles, or it can mean getting in the right frame of mind and making yourself more comfortable.

Fantasize. Use your favorite fantasy to get in the mood, whether it's thinking about the guy you have a crush on or a scenario that turns you on. You can also read erotica, look at pictures, or watch porn to get excited.

Touch all over. Explore your body. Touch your nipples and caress your skin. Caress your belly and thighs. Touch the different parts of your inner and outer labia and your clitoris. When you feel warmed up, insert a finger or two into your vagina. There is no place or sensation that is off-limits.

Try different techniques and pressures. Try tapping, stroking, pinching, and caressing each area to see what pressure and touch you respond most to. Some women enjoy placing their hand over their pubic mound and massaging, other prefer clitoral stimulation, still others like vaginal penetration with fingers or toys.

Experiment with sex toys. Sex toys are a great way to explore what brings you pleasure. While they are fun to experiment with, some women find that they can only orgasm with the help of sexual aids.

Don't worry too much about orgasm. A good goal to have when learning to masturbate is to explore what brings you pleasure and figure out your body. Don't put too much pressure on yourself to orgasm initially. It will happen with practice.

Hopefully, these female masturbation techniques are helpful. Have fun exploring!
