Masturbation for Couples
Mutual masturbation can create a richer sexual life for couples because it gives both partners the opportunity to experiment with what brings the most pleasure. Couples can set the scene with soft lights, romantic music and if both partners are happy to include it, an erotic video. If you like, use lubrication on the penis or the vulva. There are a range of positions for mutual masturbation. The only practical requirement is for both partners' genitals to be within easy reach. For example a man and a woman could lie side by side, with the woman's upper body resting on the man. Each can easily reach the other's genital area and he can kiss her face and neck and nuzzle her hair. At the same time he can feel her breasts with his hands. Her one hand is free to guide his toward doing what she likes best and the other can reach toward his body and stimulate his penis. Mutual masturbation is an alternative to penetrative sex and can add interest to a couple's sex life. For example when the man cannot get an erection or a woman is pregnant, has just had a baby or some recent surgery, penetrative sex may be out of the question. Many people just enjoy non-penetrative sex as an exciting sexual option.
