The month of May celebrates a universal pleasure... and one that's still all too taboo: masturbation.
Long shrouded in myth, shame or silence, masturbation is now back at the heart of discussions on sexual health. And with good reason: it's natural, beneficial and accessible to all. Whether you have a vagina, a penis or are curious about exploring other pleasure zones, May is the perfect time to rediscover pleasure... with yourself.
Why masturbate? The benefits of solo pleasure
1. Stress reduction Stimulating your body releases endorphins - those famous happy hormones - which help release tension and improve mood.
2. Better self-knowledge Exploring your erogenous zones, your desires, your limits allows you to get to know yourself better... and better guide your partners afterwards.
3. Improved sleep An orgasm before sleep can help you fall asleep, by calming the nervous system.
4. Pelvic health and circulation For people with vaginas, masturbation helps tone the pelvic floor. For people with penises, it promotes better blood circulation and prostate health.

Black Lotus Sensitizing Gel - Shunga

Tips and ideas for varying your solo moments
1. Create your sensual atmosphere Pleasure begins in the atmosphere. Dim the lights, light a scented candle, put on a soft or exciting playlist, depending on your mood. Take time to relax and enter a state of exploration. This moment is for you - slow down, breathe, feel.
2. Play with positions Changing position can totally transform your experience. Try masturbating lying down, kneeling, standing in the shower, sitting on the edge of the bed or even in front of a mirror. Each posture stimulates the body differently, and some promote deeper or longer orgasms.
3. Use accessories to intensify sensations Lubricant is a precious ally: it increases the softness of caresses and makes toys even more pleasurable. To take things a step further, add a sensitizing gel like Shunga to the clitoris, glans or perineum. Sensations become more intense, more vivid, more electric.
4. Try techniques like edging Edging involves getting close to orgasm, then slowing down or stopping before starting again. By playing with your pleasure threshold in this way, you learn to control your arousal better - and your orgasms often become more powerful.
5. Explore with the right toys Let your curiosity be your guide: the Please Me adapts to all erogenous zones (clitoris, penis, nipples, perineum, etc.), while the Helix Syn V provides vibrant, targeted anal exploration. Also, try using your usual toys in a different way... sometimes you just need to change the angle or intensity to feel something new.
Conclusion: Solo pleasure, an act of self-love
Masturbate out of desire, curiosity, pleasure. There's no right or wrong reason to indulge in an intimate moment with yourself. This May, (re)discover the power of masturbation: it's healthy, it's sexy, it's for you.
