May is National Masturbation Awareness Month... are you doing your part?

May brings the first blush of spring, when flowers begin to bud and unfold, and the sun teases out the first sweat of the season. Since nature seems to be getting all hot and bothered this time of year, it makes sense that May is Masturbation Month, an unofficial sex-positive holiday that has gained popularity since its inception in 1995. As most fans of self-pleasure would agree, it's not like there's any one time when masturbation isn't a good idea. Sure, maybe winter is better suited to staying under the covers and getting in touch with yourself, but the whole "new beginnings" that spring offers does make for a good reminder to rekindle your self-love. Unlike partnered sex, which requires a certain level of interest in your partner(s)' enjoyment, solo sex has the exquisite benefit of being 100 percent about you. Solipsism is the key word when you're trying to up your masturbation game, so take this opportunity to treat yourself.

1. Make A Local Sex Shop Visit 

There's a bounty of feminist sex shops out there, but if you can step into a brick and mortar one, even better. Although most of us don't have the time to subscribe to Masturbation Monthly (in my head that's what the hip, underground mag detailing all the best new gear is called), your local sex shop sales associate should know the details on the latest toys. Test their knowledge, and ask about something you've never thought to try. 

2. Make A Masturbation Mix 

If you're the type who'd spend hours getting yourself ready for a sex date, why not do the same for a solo sex date? Crafting a perfect combination of put-you-in-the-mood tunes will provide a welcome dose of aural pleasure as you lock the door, light some candles, and get into the zone. 

3.Talk To Your Friends About Masturbation 

If you don't already, why not take this unofficial holiday as an excuse to talk to your friends about masturbation? Not only does it normalize one aspect of female sexuality that still faces stigma, but you might learn a tip or trick or two in the process. 




4. Try A Method You've Never Tried Before

If you've been masturbating for over a decade, it might be time to makeover your style. After checking out the latest sex tech that can make your solo sex experience feel like Star Trek, take it for a spin, even if it's not your usual method. Or, if you're already well-versed in gadgetry, see what happens if you try hands-only, a new position, or a location shift for your May moments of self-satisfaction. 

5. Masturbate With A Partner 

It's still all about you even if there's someone else involved. Partnered masturbation play can be insanely enjoyable, especially if you include a hands-to-yourself rule. 

6. Watch Your Favorite Masturbation Movie Scenes 

From 9 1/2 Weeks to The To-Do List, there are plenty of iconic mainstream masturbation movie moments (try saying that 3x fast). Watch a few to put you in the mood, but if you want more diversity and more explicit action, your best bet is to probably check out my Masturbation Playlist on Pornhub. 

7. Masturbate For Charity 

There have been many a Masturbate-a-thons over the years that help raise money for sexual health and women's health initiatives. Why not create your own with friends? Or, you could always just donate a little something extra to your favorite sex-positive organization waving the flag for sexual freedom, because without them, Masturbation Month couldn't exist.

NEW INFO-GRAPHIC: May is National Masturbation Awareness Month

National Masturbation Day
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

National Masturbation Day, also known as International Masturbation Day and in Britain and Australia as "Wankers Day", is an annual event celebrated on May 28, to protect and celebrate the right to masturbate. 

The first National Masturbation Day was observed May 7, 1995, after sex-positive retailer Good Vibrations declared the day in honor of Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders, who was fired in 1994 by President Bill Clinton for suggesting masturbation be part of the sex education curriculum for students.

International Masturbation Day has since been expanded to include the entire month of May as International Masturbation Month.

Should Orange be the New Pink for this Year's Breast Cancer Awareness Month?

 Should Orange be the New Pink for this Year's Breast Cancer Awareness Month?

Women across the country should swap their pink ribbons for orange vegetables this Breast Cancer Awareness Month if they really want to improve their odds of fighting the disease that kills tens of thousands of women each year.

Research shows that women who consume the most carotenoid-rich fruits and vegetables reduce their risk for breast cancer by about 19 percent, according to Susan Levin, M.S., R.D., director of nutrition education for the Physicians Committee and author of Applying the Precautionary Principle to Nutrition and Cancer guidelines, which was published in the Journal of American College of Nutrition. Carotenoids are colorful pigments found in plants that provide an ample supply of cancer-fighting antioxidants.

May is really National Masturbation Awareness Month...

All over the world, May has become synonymous with the act of masturbation because of an annual protest staged in San Francisco, Ca back in 1995. The official first National Masturbation Day was observed May 14, 1995, after sex-positive San Francisco retailer, Good Vibrations, declared the day in honor of Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders, who was fired by President Bill Clinton for suggesting masturbation be part of the sex education curriculum for students; she was terminated on Dec 9, 1994.

Since then, Masturbation Day has evolved into more than just a simple protest but now aims to protect our civil liberties by making the public more aware of human sexuality, explain the benefits of healthy sexual expression, and destigmatise the sexual act of masturbation.

This Day of Awareness has grown into a month-long celebration now called National Masturbation Month which has consisted of a series of local community protests, workshops and other activities that promote masturbation.

National Masturbation Month may have started in San Francisco but has gained popularity worldwide and is now celebrated in various different countries all over the world!
