Putting a guy in a room with a computer and nothing to do is a very good recipe for masturbation. (For some of us, putting a guy in a room with a computer is a recipe for masturbation, even if he has plenty of other things he could or should be doing.) Seriously though, a stable relationship with masturbation can be an important component of good penis care. But even men who are avid masturbation enthusiasts can find that they occasionally want to get creative and add something new to their solo sex game.

For men who want to get creative about how they masturbate, the following tips should help.

– Get spicy. Many novelty stores sell rubber wigs that have spikes all over them. (Make sure you choose a wig with rubber spikes, not one with harder spikes.) These can be used in masturbatory games to create a new experience. Once back home, give it a quick wash and then dry it well. Take some lube and spread it around the spikes, then turn the wig inside out so the spikes are facing inward. Fold the wig around the penis and start masturbating. The spikes create a tingling sensation throughout the penis that can be intensely pleasurable.

– Get wet outdoors. Masturbating outdoors can add a special thrill to the effort, but it obviously carries a lot of risk. This can be counteracted by masturbating outdoors but in private, such as in a fenced-in backyard. However, even without a fence, it is possible to pet in the fresh air with relative safety if the yard has a pool or jacuzzi. As long as the hands and penis stay below the waterline, and as long as a guy isn’t too obvious, he can pleasure himself without drawing undue attention. (Make sure you take the proper steps to sanitize the bathtub or pool after you ejaculate, of course.)

– Get compressed. Get a pair of spandex compression shorts (like the ones bikers often wear) and masturbate in them. The feel of spandex against an erect penis can be very sensual.

– Try brushing. This takes some practice, but it can be worth it. Using an electric toothbrush (initially set to the lowest setting), brush all over your penis and balls. The sensations are explosive, similar to a mini-vibrator.

– Try using dental floss. Some men who use the toothbrush technique also like to tie a bit of dental floss around the base of the penis, creating a kind of makeshift cock ring. (Make sure you don’t do this for too long, as prolonged tension can be painful and damaging.)

– Come on, Bananas. Bananas are a very healthy fruit, but after eating one, a guy is left with the question: What to do with the banana peel now? An easy answer: place it over a handy erect penis and turn it into a masturbation aid. The slippery and comfortable shell can feel exquisite. (Make sure to properly wash the penis afterwards, and properly dispose of the shell, of course.)

Getting creative with masturbation can make a fun experience even more pleasurable. Of course, all that fun can lead to overdoing things and hurting your penis, so make sure you have a top-notch penis health cream on hand. (Healthcare professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil, which is clinically proven to be gentle and safe for skin.). Your penis will feel so much better if it can be rejuvenated with a cream with a dynamic duo of moisturizing agents, like all-natural shea butter and vitamin E. If the cream also contains vitamin A, so much the better: that vitamin has antibacterial properties. properties that can help eliminate lingering penile odors that are especially pronounced in men who are sexually active to a high degree.
