All About the “M” Word: The Big O for Men

However you want to refer to the act of self-pleasure, commonly called masturbation, we want you to know that Dusty Flynt Sexy Gifts completely supports this act. Is it because we are a vast community of, what we like to call ourselves, “sexperts?”

Well, yes!

For many years, masturbation has been given the reputation of being “dirty,” leaving this pleasurable act condemned as forbidden and taboo. We are here to break down the walls of old stereotypes and excitedly let you know that it is not.

Self-pleasure is completely healthy and plenty of others do it, too. That’s right, it’s okay to get off! What’s more, it’s not just for single people—couples, people of all genders, and people of all sexual orientations alike all take part.

In a 2016 study, researchers found that men across several age groups who had sex or masturbated frequently (at least 21 times a month) had about a 20 percent lower chance of prostate cancer, compared with those who did it less (4 to 7 times a month). A 2003 study also discovered a similar link between frequent ejaculation and lower prostate cancer risk. That’s a lot of self-pleasure with a really awesome health benefit!

If you’re still worried about other common masturbation misconceptions, we have plenty of reasons to encourage you to rub one out:

Have you ever noticed that your hang time really isn’t hanging long? Well, if you’re not into male enhancement creams or prolonging creams (we love creams!), then a simple daily masturbation session can actually increase your stamina. You train for sports, events, and even your career; why not train the man in your pants to perform longer? There are a number of different lubricants designed to heighten different sensations: warming, cooling, and tingling galore. Plus, despite all the buzz about clitoral stimulation, we have the vibrators that’ll make you buzz too. Whether you focus on the head or shaft, all we’re trying to say is “practice makes perfect.”

With age and all that life throws at you, you may have noticed certain sexual body parts aren’t performing as they once did. Lucky for you, self-pleasure can also make you harder. Working it out, if you know what we mean, can strengthen muscle tone in your pelvic and anal areas. Research and anecdotal reports also suggest that sexual stimulation may also help you relieve built-up stress, sleep better, boost your mood, relax, and improve your self-esteem. So show your willy some love, treat yourself, and reap the benefits.

Are you worried self-pleasure will reduce your sexual connection with your partner? Rest assured that not only is the act a common, healthy sexual activity, but it also helps you better understand your wants and needs in the bedroom. With that understanding can come enhanced pleasure, better communication, and—ultimately—better sex!

Now, if you’re wondering whether you have to stick to old-school tactics, the answer is a resounding “no!” If you like tradition, using a masturbation cream (our favorite is the Wicked Crème Masturbation Cream for Men) and your hand is perfectly fine. If you want to switch it up, we have adult toy suggestions to make this moment a little more special.

If your wants and needs involve a little more sensation and sensitivity, then the glorious C-ring might be perfect for you. C-rings are body-safe rings that slide down your shaft and can fit around the testicles or your entire package. Essentially, they allow blood flow to ensure you get hard but slow down the process of pumping blood back out to ensure you stay hard. C-rings heighten sensitivity and help you maintain a longer erection, and some can even vibrate for a more intense feel. Love yourself, lube yourself, and enjoy!

Whether you work with your hands or you want to spare your hands from the hard work, Dusty Flynt Sexy Gifts offers multiple options that can spare you some of the mess. Several brands have created adult toys that make stroking even more exciting, with options ranging anywhere from strokers to a companion. Want to replicate the satisfaction of vaginal penetration or anal penetration? Strokers, especially vibrating, realistic options like Doc Johnson’s Main Squeeze™, put the power in your hands with a unique experience every time. Or, you can now heighten your masturbation session with the sensations of some of the world’s most renowned actresses in the industry!

With time comes technology and, alongside that, we have been so fortunate to be included in this movement. Companies have now created high-tech, sophisticated options that aren’t shy of the real deal. This window of opportunity has gifted us with almost unlimited masturbation options. These wonders include everything from hands-free toys to replicated companions. What more could you ask for than to sit back and relax while still reaching a climax?

If something realistic is what you’re looking for, but you’re worried about the whole taboo scenario mentioned before, seriously, have no fears. Sexual exploration is absolutely fine! In fact, if masturbation companionship is what you’re seeking then know this…we have so many options for you. In fact, we believe that knowing your pleasurable options is important in everyday sexual health. However you decide to rub one out, just know that we can help along the way.

All in all, love yourself and enjoy you time. It’s for your health, it’s for your mind, and it’s for your pleasure. Until then, we’re sending out Good Vibes Only.
