4 Kinky Tips I Learned From Erika Lust's 'Masturbation Conversations'

From the mind behind the viral 30-minute masturbation work break.

Sex-positive adult filmmaker Erika Lust made headlines last year after the world found out that she awarded her employees 30 minutes of masturbation time on the clock. This year, Lust is combining the love of self-pleasure with her filmmaking skills to provide Masturbation Conversations, a documentary seeking to destigmatize solo sex. Little did I know, I’d receive the best masturbation tips I’ve heard in a while.

The inclusive and intimate documentary discusses nostalgic moments most people who masturbate experience — even the awkward moments. Erika Lust shared: “Shooting Masturbation Conversations was so fun; I loved sharing with people of different genders, ethnicities and ages the different ways we experience and discuss self-pleasure. When you talk about “taboo” topics with other people within a safe environment, you feel supported enough to realize there’s no reason to feel ashamed about your own pleasure.”

Here’s what I learned and will definitely be adding to my masturbation routine.

1. If you sit on your hand, let it fall asleep and proceed to masturbate, it feels like someone else is rubbing your genitals.

2. Masturbation is a great hangover cure because it releases a number of happy hormones like dopamine.

3. Squeezing your anus when masturbating stimulates your prostate, which can enhance your orgasm.

4. Prioritizing self-pleasure when you have romantic partner(s) helps reinforce your sexual autonomy. This makes orgasms even more enjoyable because pleasure is now a part of your lifestyle — not just one aspect of your life.
