What’s really interesting about this conversation is how society has shaped our views on personal pleasure. For so long, masturbation was seen as this shameful, embarrassing thing—something to be hidden, rushed, and even avoided. But why? If anything, it should be the most natural form of self-discovery.
I went through a phase where I felt guilty about it, like it was somehow a second-rate substitute for sex. But once I let go of that outdated mindset, everything changed. Instead of treating it like a backup plan, I started seeing it as a way to understand myself better. What turns me on? What rhythms feel best? What mental state enhances the experience? These questions led to some surprising discoveries.
One of the biggest shifts was realizing how much our brains impact pleasure. Fantasy, memory, and even breathing techniques can take things to a whole new level. It’s not just about physical stimulation—it’s about engaging every part of yourself in the experience. And once you tap into that, it’s hard to go back to the old way of doing things.
So if there’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that masturbation isn’t just about release—it’s about learning, evolving, and connecting with yourself. And honestly, the more we talk about it openly like this, the more we can break free from the weird, unnecessary stigma around it.
