Prone masturbation is a term that refers to a specific self-stimulation technique where a person lies face down, often on a bed or other surface, and rubs their genitals against it to achieve arousal and orgasm. This technique is different from the more common form of masturbation, where the hand is used to stimulate the genitals.
Here’s a closer look at what prone masturbation is, how it differs from other forms, and the possible effects it can have.
Understanding Prone Masturbation
In prone masturbation, individuals usually press or rub a surface, rather than using their hands directly on the genitals. This technique may include:
- Lying face down on a mattress, pillow or other soft surface.
- Use of body weight and pressure instead of direct stimulation with the hands.
- Friction on the surfacewhich creates excitement.
Some people find this method preferable because it can provide intense sensations and simulate different types of sexual positions.
How prone masturbation differs from standard masturbation
Prone masturbation differs from more traditional methods in several ways:
- Technique: Instead of using the hands, prone masturbation involves moving the body against a surface to create stimulation.
- Stimulation type: Prone masturbation provides more pressure on the pelvic area, while traditional masturbation offers direct contact with the genitals.
- Arousal and Sensation: The grinding motion in prone masturbation can cause a different kind of stimulation, as it usually involves more pressure and less focus on individual sensitive areas.
Why some people prefer prone masturbation
People may choose prone masturbation for a variety of reasons, including:
- Comfort: Lying face first can relax you and the pressure of the mattress can enhance arousal for some.
- Privacy: Prone masturbation is usually quieter than traditional methods, which can be more discreet.
- Intensity: The extra pressure on the body and pelvis can sometimes make the experience more intense for those who prefer this method.
Possible effects of prone masturbation
Although prone masturbation is not harmful in itself, it can have certain effects on the body and sexual health if practiced excessively or as the only form of self-stimulation:
- Desensitization: Over time, some people may become accustomed to the particular type of pressure associated with prone masturbation. This can make it more difficult to achieve orgasm in other situations or with partners.
- Pelvic tension: Pelvic pressure can sometimes cause tension or pain if done frequently or with excessive force.
- Difficulty with Corporate Intimacy: Some people who are used to prone masturbation may find it more difficult to reach orgasm during intercourse or with other forms of stimulation, as they may miss the intense pressure of prone masturbation.
- Possible erectile problems: In rare cases, constant prone masturbation can lead to secondary erectile problems if the body becomes conditioned to only respond to that particular type of stimulation.
Tips for practicing prone masturbation safely
If prone masturbation is part of your routine, here are some tips to keep it enjoyable and safe:
- Change your techniques: Try mixing it up with other forms of masturbation or stimulation to prevent the body from getting too used to one method.
- Avoid excessive pressure: Be aware of the pressure in your pelvis to avoid pain or discomfort.
- Incorporate other senses: Consider using different forms of stimulation to keep things varied, such as touching other parts of the body, which can help keep stimulation balanced and prevent over-reliance on one technique.
- Take Breaks: If you start to feel discomfort, give your body time to rest. Occasional breaks can reduce the risk of desensitization.
When to ask for advice
If prone masturbation is causing you any discomfort or problems with intimacy, it may be helpful to talk to a sexual health professional or therapist. They can provide advice tailored to your situation and help address any performance, intimacy or arousal concerns.
