Pleasure Rewards
Masturbation May. There's No Shame In The Game
Welcome to Masturbation May. A whole month to slow down, turn inward, and unapologetically feel yourself. Masturbation May isn’t just a trend—it’s a radical reclaiming of pleasure, presence, and personal power.
The Spark: Where It All Began
In 1994, U.S. Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders said it loud and clear: “Masturbation is part of human sexuality.” Days later, she was fired. But her truth lit a movement. The next year, Good Vibrations in San Francisco created Masturbation Month in her honour. Today, from TikTok to Buenos Aires murals, the conversation is louder than ever.
The Stats: Why Masturbation Deserves Its Month
Behind every celebration is a truth: stigma still lingers.
- 95% of men and 72% of women say they masturbate
- 63% of women still experience guilt about it
Meanwhile Modern Science Proves The Benefits:
- Stress relief: Orgasms release oxytocin and reduce cortisol by 35%
- Improved sleep: 78% report better rest after solo play
- Pelvic health: Regular arousal supports bladder control and muscular strength
Masturbation isn’t just fun, it’s functional. And Masturbation May is the perfect time to reclaim it.
The Mindful Masturbation Guide
Ready to practice? Let's break it down:
1. Craft Your Sanctuary
Create a space that says: this moment is mine.
- Lighting: Salt lamps or dimmed bulbs to mimic sunset
- Textures: Soft sheets, a silk robe, something that feels indulgent
- Sound: A breathwork playlist or something ambient and sensual
2. The 15-Minute Awakening
Begin with touch that isn't goal-oriented.
- Massage your scalp like you're rinsing away the day
- Trace your chest or thighs lightly, like you're learning a new language
- Stretch your hips gently to locate and release stored tension
3. Surrender to Sensation
This is the heart of mindful play.
- Breathe in for 4, out for 6. Let your body lead.
- Use your fingertips or Le Wand's Point Vibrator to explore pressure and pace
- Ask yourself: What kind of touch do I want right now?
4. Introduce a Toy
We've listed our top picks below.
Once aroused, layer in a toy that supports presence—not distraction.
