25 Tips For Jerking Off
If you’re looking for fresh ideas or new things to try, here are some quick tips and tricks for jerking off.
Set aside some time to enjoy yourself — all night long.
Light some candles, take a relaxing bath, get your toys and porn ready and focus on yourself.
Think of it like a spa day for you and your penis.
- 2: Change up your stroke.
If you’re used to jerking off fast and furious, try slowing it down with deliberate motions and edging.
The same goes for the reverse for those who want to add more intensity.
Variety is the spice of life, right?
Instead of just lying down, try sitting on the edge of the bed or couch or even standing up.
Get in touch with your whole body and explore how different positions add to the experience.
Try thrusting into your hand instead of letting it do all the stroking.
Getting some motion going in your hips to mimic sex can amp up the intensity.
If you’re used to jerking it in one spot, move somewhere different.
Find a private place like your home office or garage to switch up the vibes.
It’s not a good idea to jack off in public unless you’re with adults who have given their consent.
- 6: Have your clean-up materials within reach before you start.
Whatever you use to catch your load, ensure it’s there when you need it.
Don’t break the momentum of needing to get up and find a towel or tissue when you’re about to blow.
It’s easy to clean up cum, but it’s smart to have the things you need on hand and within reach when you’re done.
Humping your pillows may sound juvenile, but using items around the house to hold a toy in place while you thrust away is a great way to level up a basic bit of masturbation.
There are many body-safe lubes that can add a new dimension to pleasing yourself.
Try one that adds a warming or tingling sensation to shake things up.
If you normally use a water-based lubricant, take a silicone-based or oil-based product for a ride instead.
For those of us who have stuck to a minimalist approach to jerking off and never tried using lube, consider picking up a bottle to enhance the experience.
There are plenty of products to explore and there’s nothing better for reducing friction during masturbation than a top-quality personal lubricant — and we’ll share our top recommendations below.

Description:
Bottom Line: This is our team's favorite silicone-based lubricant because a little goes a very long way and it feels incredibly silky and smooth to the touch. The need for reapplication is minimal and like most lubes of this nature, holds up well when used in the water. One thing we really loved about Valm is the smart bottle design, which not only features a sleek pump, but a smart locking mechanism that prevents accidental spills or leakage — and it can be activated with just one hand.

Description:
Bottom Line: While often overlooked, oil-based lubricants are as long-lasting as those made from silicone while being equally waterproof, moisturizing, and suited to anal sex. They are not compatible with latex or polyisoprene condoms and shouldn't be used with latex or rubber sex toys. Made with the best ingredients, AH! YES OB is a certified 99% organic lubricant that doubles as a sensual massage oil. Formulated to soothe and condition skin, it doesn’t need to be washed off. [Read Full Review]

- 10: Try on some good vibrations.
Adding even a small bullet-style vibe to the mix is a simple but effective way to add some spice to jerking off.
Take a look at the section on toys above for ways to use a vibrator while masturbating.
- 11: Try new types of porn.
Maybe you have a list of go-to videos or pictures for your porn — or you’ve got a subscription to Adam & Eve Plus — but exploring what is out there can be a fun adventure.
Besides trying new genres of visual aids, dip your toe into things like erotic stories or purely auditory porn like ASMR.
- 12: Watch JOI (Jerk Off Instruction) videos.
JOI (Jerk Off Instruction) porn is like jerking off with a partner.
The performer will tell you what to do and when — with some even having a countdown to your big finale.
These come in various styles and genres, so it is also a good way to explore things like role-playing or Domination without needing to invest in costumes or toys.
- 13: Use your imagination.
If you’ve become bored with porn, try using your mind to create your own.
You’ll have full control over your fantasy and you won’t get any targeted ads afterward.
- 14: Buy a manual masturbator.
Toys like sleeves or Fleshlights — where you control the motion yourself — not only enhance your solo project but also may help you last longer when having actual sex.
- 15: Buy an automatic masturbator.
Who hasn’t fantasized about having a sex robot?
Automatic masturbation toys may be a pricier option, but the results are worth it.
With these, you can just sit back and relax while your new piece of sexy tech does all the work.
- 16: Don’t neglect the rest of your body.
You only need one hand to jack off so use your free hand to please yourself in other ways.
Stroke your body, play with your nipples, or do whatever you would want someone to do to you.
Getting your whole body involved is a great way to get in touch with yourself and experiment with new ways of getting off.
- 17: Don’t neglect your balls.
Not everything needs to be about your penis.
Playing with or massaging your testicles is a great way to bring something extra to masturbation.
The perineum — the spot between your scrotum and anus (also known as the “taint”) — can be massaged while jerking off for even more pleasure.
- 19: Explore prostate pleasure.
Massaging your prostate with either a toy or your fingers can open new doors for your masturbation habits.
Start slow when first trying this and you might eventually be able to orgasm from prostate massage alone.
This is a case where lube is required, however, as the anus doesn’t provide its own moisture.
- 20: Immerse yourself in the experience.
Using a VR (virtual reality) headset to watch porn is incredible.
Thousands of videos put you right in the middle of the action and you might enjoy yourself so much that you forget where you really are.
- 21: Try a media-linked automatic masturbator.
There are automatic sex toys that sync up to either VR or internet porn.
You’ll feel every move the performer on your screen is doing so you can live out your fantasy from home.
If you’ve never played a dating roleplaying game or sex simulator game, they’re a great way to get invested in a new world of erotic excitement during masturbation.
Delaying ejaculation, or edging, means getting right to the point of orgasm and stopping for a moment.
The build-up can greatly intensify your orgasm or even give you one without ejaculating to keep the fun going.
Edging is also a good way to practice lasting longer during sex.
You don’t need to get right into things immediately.
Take some time to rev up your engines and tease yourself for a bigger release in the end.
- 25: Get out of your head.
Masturbating for fun should be a way to take care of yourself.
Try to relax and block out distractions or worries from the rest of your day — don’t think about work, bills, or other daily life stresses that might pull you out of the moment.
Masturbating can also be a way to try new things you may not feel ready to share with a partner, so don’t worry about what they might think of the activity you’re about to enjoy.
Jerking off is about you, your body, and what you like.
Don’t let other people’s ideas ruin your fun.
