Throughout my life, I’ve never considered comfort a prerequisite for pleasuring myself. What’s changed is my awareness of the different senses that arouse me —whether it’s lighting a scented candle, having a glass of wine to feel a bit loose, or imagining the kiss of someone who just had a glass of wine. Interestingly, I don’t often tap into my sense of hearing. Perhaps that’s because I usually touch myself while watching porn, listening to voice notes, or viewing videos from a long-distance relationship, or even reminiscing about previous memories.
When I touch myself, I imagine the grip of a vagina or a softer touch if I’m picturing receiving a blowjob. I often hold my breath, picturing myself being choked, which enhances the sensation. It allows me to focus on the moment and the pleasure I feel. As I slowly reach a climax, I usually let out a deep sigh of relief.
As I’ve started prioritizing comfort and other senses, I’ve begun to move away from watching porn. Now, I often picture those moments of comfort as if I were with a partner, adding a different dimension to pleasuring myself.
