Welcome to Masturbation May! You’re in for a truly unique method this week that’ll have you reaching climax without lifting a finger...
How?
Lie on your back and get comfy – this is not a rush job. Cross your legs at the thighs and gently squeeze them together (if you have a penis, tuck it between your thighs). Now start rocking your hips or tightening and releasing your thighs to stimulate yourself. This masturbation technique is called syntribation.
The friction created between your upper legs stimulates the genitals without needing hands. Give the sensation a chance on its own, but if you need more intensity, you could hold a bullet vibe between your legs before squeezing them together.
Pleasure that just keeps building...
Why?
Ever felt overstimulated because you’ve gone in with direct contact too quick? Syntribation creates a teasing, slow burn sensation that can feel very different from hands-on touch.
The grinding motion taps into your primal, humping instinct, which can be fun to explore. And if you get your pelvic floor involved, you’ll also increase blood flow to your pelvis, which makes you feel more sensitive down there.
Since you’re hands-free, you can relax fully, without awkward wrist angles or arm fatigue. Bonus: it’s discreet. No obvious movement, no noise, just you quietly having a very good time. Ideal when you’ve got roomies.
Make it even easier
The beauty of this position is that it requires minimal movement; small pelvic tilts or subtle muscle engagement can do the job. Take it slow and adjust until it feels effortless, not like a workout.
You can put a pillow between your knees if it makes the position more comfortable. And if squeezing your thighs is too much strain, a folded blanket or cushion between your legs offers friction without much effort.
Make it even better
Before you start, dab an orgasm booster or tingling lube on your clit or the tip of your penis. A pleasure balm like Lovehoney Ignite will feel sensual on its own but, as your thighs press together, the feeling amplifies. That gentle friction could turn into something much more intense.
As an optional extra, you might like the feeling of wearing a butt plug here. As your thighs press together, you’ll feel even more aware of the plug; filling you up and teasing you from within.
Make it even kinkier
Before you lie back and squeeze, grab a pussy pump or penis pump. Pumps work using suction to draw blood into your genitals, making them highly sensitive to touch. When you’re done with the pump, you’ll be pulsing, throbbing, and raring to go! You might find you don’t need to squeeze or hump for anywhere near as long...
While your pump works, pop on some nipple clamps and let that steady pinch contrast with the slow throb below. Pick adjustable clamps for more control over the tightness; go loose for a tease or tight for a bit of bite.
Not the position for you?
