Turn Her On By Cranking Your Shank:
A Women's Perspective on Male Masturbation
By Lucy Jacobs

If you’ve never masturbated in front of your girlfriend, you might want to give it a try. While some women feel insecure when their men masturbate—“Does this mean he doesn’t find me attractive?”—many other women find it a huge turn on.

Butter the corn
A nice way to ease into pleasuring yourself in front of your partner in a new relationship is through mutual masturbation. In this way, you can be sure she doesn’t find male masturbation insulting to her as an attractive woman. Instead, you are sharing in the fun of getting off. Plus, you can watch each other to maintain a high level of arousal necessary to reach climax.

Pump the monkey
If she can watch you masturbate, she might get a better idea of what feels good to you and how she can use the same tricks to make your sex life more interesting. Some people will feel self conscious when they masturbate in front of someone else and this can hamper fun in the future. After all, if you feel uncomfortable getting off in from of her, you probably won’t feel at ease trying new and different things in bed when she is bored with the usual.

Ram the ham
Make some noise! If you are quiet and barely conscious when masturbating, she’s gonna feel awkward and probably un-aroused, as though she shouldn’t be there. Let her in on some of the secrets of what feels good, what doesn’t, where you put your hands, if you like your nipples bitten…

Pull the pole
Some guys like to use external objects to increase their pleasurable experience. I’ve heard about guys inventing their own home-made “vaginas” out of things from shampoo bottles to fake fur coats. Whatever your kinky tendencies are, it’s worth sharing them with your partner so that you can both discover what turns the other on…and more importantly, what doesn’t.

Wonk your conker
Masturbating in front of your girlfriend is good because it can show off the control you have in stopping your orgasm on a dime and then starting up again. Once she sees this, she will forget the stereotypical images of men coming as quickly as possible. Instead, this gives you the opportunity to be intimate with each other for hours and will be beneficial for your sex life when you can last for a long time.

Bleed the weed
For those men who have trouble coming with their partners (they do exist!), masturbating alone and in front of/with your partner can be excellent therapy. For whatever reason, you might be unable to climax with a partner during sex. Talk to your partner about this and try to overcome this trouble through mutual masturbation. That way, all her attention won’t be focused on you which can alleviate any self-consciousness you might experience.

Closing the deal
Once you have started masturbating in front of your partner, don’t necessarily believe that everything you’ve ever seen in a porn movie will work in real life. Even if she’s excited and is pleasuring herself watching you, you might want to discuss the implications of this before you unabashedly blow your load all over her tits, for example. Some women will find this offensive because it’s the notorious “money shot” that seems symptomatic of female objectification, suggesting that they aren’t special beyond their role as sexual objects.

Flute Solo
If you don’t really know where her pleasure spot is or what she likes most during sex, masturbation on your part might encourage her to do the same. Watching her masturbate should give you a fairly clear indication of what feels good to her and where you should spend your time which she will thank you for later.

Donkey Spank
Besides being turned on by the sight of you masturbating, this shared activity can also give her some new ideas on how to play with your penis. There are a million different masturbation techniques and unless she knows what you most enjoy as well as the other options available, your sex life might get a little stale and predictable.

Feed the Fist
Consider it foreplay. Masturbating with and for each other doesn’t have to constitute the entire sexual act. Instead, consider this another version of foreplay in which you both raise your arousal levels before getting it on. If you think women complain about a lack of foreplay during sex, use this pleasurable opportunity to prove her wrong.

Juice your fruit
Some women simply enjoy watching their partner bring himself to orgasm because it is, generally speaking, a private act. The voyeurism involved in the act can add excitement to any relationship.

Pocket Pinball
Masturbation doesn’t replace sex. Instead, these two acts can be complementary, but only if you share with your partner. Those women who are astounded that their partners masturbate in secret could benefit from the act being made public to them. Everyone likes quickies and sometimes it’s nice to just rely on yourself for an orgasm.

Drizzle the Squid
If your partner knows that you like to masturbate and is comfortable with seeing you do this, then there’s no need to worry about getting off in shower each morning and having her walk in on this. In fact, once you share this act with her, all the better if she walks in! Maybe she’ll join in and if not, it can still be exciting for you getting off and her watching.

Grease the Pipe
Before you run home to bed and jerk off while your wife or girlfriend is reading next to you, remember that this advice is given so that you both benefit. You lying in bed like Kevin Spacey’s character in American Beauty does nothing to improve your sex life as part of a relationship. If you include her in this process (not all the time, of course!) she won’t feel as though she is a secondary feature of your sexual appetite.
