Masturbation also improves the heart rate, immune system, blood pressure, reproductive system, and brain chemistry.  Check out the section "Health Benefits of Masturbating" for more information about how masturbating is good for you.

Enhancing Your Masturbation Sessions

Sex toys can be titillating.  If you only masturbate using your hand, you're missing out on some incredible sensations, and some earth shattering orgasms.  "Vibrators provide one of the strongest and most consistent forms of stimulation," says Judy Kuriansky, PhD, sex therapist and author of Generation Sex. Introduce the buzz factor once you've prepped yourself for pleasure, and it could make an orgasm a sure thing.

Just like the results vary in studies and surveys on how often people masturbate, the results from studies and surveys also vary when it comes to how many people use sex toys when they masturbate. Depending on where you get your information, you'll read that the number of people that use a sex toy when they masturbate ranges from 3% to 45%. That's a huge variation, but the people that have used a sex toy to masturbate not only continue to use one, they experiment with different sex toys and usually progress to using multiple sex toys.

What these people have figured out is that using sex toys during masturbation produces more intense and more satisfying orgasms than just using their hand alone. In fact many women that can't achieve an orgasm during sex can have an orgasm when they masturbate, and the added stimulation from a sex toy such as a vibrator allows them to experience more powerful orgasms as well as multiple orgasms. There are even some women that say they have only had an orgasm when they masturbate using a vibrator.

Unlike women, men are going to cum whether they have sex or masturbate. In fact, barring any medical condition, a man can usually masturbate himself to orgasm in under a minute. The sad thing is that also unlike women, men don't experience multiple orgasms. It's true that some men can cum a second time within a few minutes after they cum the first time, and I've even heard some guys claim they can make it to round three before their little boxer hits the canvas, but these aren't the same as the consecutive, multiple orgasms that women experience. Once most men cum, they're usually done for thirty minutes to an hour (for some men it's even longer) before they can get hard and cum a second time. This fact begs the question as to why more men wouldn't want to make their masturbation experience more intense by using a masturbator sex toy. I can tell you from many years of personal, 'hands on' experience that once I discovered the pleasure a hand held 'Stroker' or 'Pocket Pussy' masturbator provides, I seldom masturbate without one. I can also tell you that I have a pretty nice collection of different strokers because of the different sensations each one has to offer.

	Whether you're masturbating alone or with a partner, vibrators, dildos, pussy pumps, pocket pussy masturbators, nipple clips, nipple pumps, and other sex toys increase stimulation & create more intense orgasms for both men and women!

As far as women that use a vibrator to masturbate, my wife uses vibrators and other sex toys when she masturbates. I'm very thankful for rechargeable batteries because without them our bill for batteries each month would probably be more than most people's electric bill. The collection of vibrators and other sex toys she has would put some sex toy shops to shame, and while she has her favorites, she'll chose different ones to masturbate with because of the different sensations they provide. If you're wondering if all this masturbating we do has any kind of negative effect on our sex life, just the opposite is true. Our sex life is fantastic, and it's because we are both comfortable and confident in our own sexuality. We both know what gives ourselves pleasure, and we masturbate each other quite often so we know what gives each other pleasure as well.

Not only does using a sex toy to masturbate provide you with better orgasms, I've noticed that people that do use sex toys to masturbate with tend to be more confident about their sexuality. Studies have already shown that masturbating can enhance your sex life in general, boosting your sexual confidence and turning you into a better lover, so it only follows reason that the more confident a person is about their own sexuality, the more open they are going to be to experimenting with things like strokers, vibrators, and other sex toys.

I'm making a personal observation here, but I think that once a man or woman moves beyond just using their own hand to masturbate and begins experimenting with sex toys, they gain even more sexual confidence. Their own sexual world expands and they become open to other new sexual stimulation. When they figure out there are more sexual pleasures available to them when they're masturbating, they also figure out that there's the potential for many more sexual pleasures available to them with their partner.
