There are many masturbation techniques. The simplest masturbation technique is to wrap your fingers around the shaft of your penis, like holding a baseball bat, and rub it up and down. This provides a lot of contact between your hand and the penis, the more contact, the more pleasure. There are innumerable variations on this basic technique; experimentation is key. The backhand grip, for instance, is a little difficult at first, but feels great once mastered.

Speed and pressure are completely dependent on what you like. Concentrating at first on the base of the penis and avoiding the tip helps sustain an erection, and is a basic masturbation technique for delaying ejaculation. Though most men begin with penile stimulation, the entire groin area becomes more sensitive to the touch during masturbation. Other parts of the body, such as the nipples, can also make masturbation more intense. Naturally, fantasies also add to the pleasure.

If you're looking to increase your pleasure level, you should explore the world of sex toys. One of them is bound to provide the stimulation you're looking for. One of the better toys on the market is the Tenga flip hole - Male Masturbation sleeve. Alternatively, if you prefer a different sort of design, there are more realistic styled toys such as Sasha Grey deep penetration vibrating pussy & ass - Realistic vagina

Many men use a sex lubricant. If you are uncircumcised you may not find much need for it, but it really is a matter of personal choice. If you are circumcised and choose not to use lube, you can grip the penis firmly and move the top layer of skin (most effective if the skin is a bit loose), or you can grip lightly and slide your fingers/hand across the surface of the shaft. Be aware, however, that your penis can become raw and sore. Sex lubricants.will solve this problem and make the sensation more intense.

It is not advisable, however, to use household products like shampoo or soap as lubricants. They often irritate and dry out the skin, they sting if they contact the urethra, and they may be oil based, which is unsafe if intercourse with a condom is to follow. Vaseline is great in theory, but again is oil based and a real pain to clean up. The best lubes are water-based gels such as Astroglide Glycerin & Paraben free or System JO H2O cool lubricant they have a perfect consistency, clean up easily and will not destroy condoms, so they are best if you are having intercourse afterwards. The only disadvantage is that they dry out quite quickly, so you may need to reapply. Pre-ejaculate is also an excellent lubricant, although the supply may be somewhat limited.
