Masturbation Male 

Male masturbation techniques are influenced by a number of factors & personal preferences. Techniques might also differ between circumcised & uncircumcised males. Some techniques which might work for 1 individual could be difficult or uncomfortable for another.

The most common male masturbation technique is simply to hold the penis with a loose fist & then to move the hand up & down the shaft. This type of stimulation is typically all that is required to achieve orgasm & ejaculation. The speed of the hand motion will vary from person to person, although it is not uncommon for the speed to increase as ejaculation nears & for it to decrease during the ejaculation itself. When uncircumcised, stimulation of the penis in this way comes from the 'pumping' of the foreskin, in which the foreskin is held & slid up & down over the glans, which depending on foreskin length, is completely or partially covered & then uncovered in a rapid motion. During this time, the glans itself might widen & lengthen as the stimulation continues, becoming slightly darker in colour, while the rapid sliding motion of the foreskin reduces friction. For circumcised males, on whom the glans is mostly or completely uncovered, this technique creates more direct contact between the hand & the glans. To avoid soreness from this resulting friction, some males prefer to use a personal lubricant during masturbation.

Another technique used by both circumcised & uncircumcised males is to place just the index finger & thumb around the penis about halfway along the penis & repeatedly slide the shaft skin up & down. A variation on this is to place the fingers & thumb on the penis as if playing a flute, & then shuttle them back & forth. Another common technique is to lie face down on a comfortable surface such as a mattress or pillow & rub the penis against it. This technique might include the use of a simulacrum, or artificial vagina. In the absence of such devices, males frequently fantasize that they are engaged in sexual relations with a partner & might seek to enhance the fantasy by viewing pornographic pictures while they are masturbating.

There are many other variations on male masturbation techniques. Men might also rub or massage the glans, the rim of the glans, & the frenular delta. Some men place both hands directly on their penis during masturbation, while others might use their free hand to fondle their testicles, nipples, or other parts of their body. The nipples are erogenous zones, & vigorous stimulation of them during masturbation usually causes the penis to become erect more quickly than it would otherwise. Some might keep their hand stationary while pumping into it with pelvic thrusts in order to simulate the motions of sexual intercourse. Others might also use vibrators & other sexual devices more commonly associated with female masturbation. A few extremely flexible males could reach & stimulate their penis with their tongue or lips, & so perform autofellatio.

The prostate gland is 1 of the organs that contributes fluid to semen. As the prostate is touch-sensitive, some directly stimulate it using a well-lubricated finger or dildo inserted through the anus into the rectum. Stimulating the prostate from outside, via pressure on the perineum, could be pleasurable as well. Some men also enjoy anal stimulation, with fingers or otherwise, without any prostate stimulation.

A somewhat controversial ejaculation control technique is to put pressure on the perineum, about halfway between the scrotum & the anus, just before ejaculating. This can, however, redirect semen into the bladder .
