How To Finger Yourself

Fingering yourself is an exciting way to get reacquainted with your own body. With this handy how-to guide, the LOVE Team wants to empower you with the confidence to enjoy your body and explore new sensations. We're here to guide you, regardless of your age or sexual experience. Using your fingers, you'll unveil intense feelings, all while being gentle and confident. Let's explore together.

Fingering yourself offers numerous benefits, both for your personal well-being and your sex life. Here are a few reasons why this practice is worth exploring:

• Better knowledge of your own body: Fingering yourself allows you to get to know your body better. By learning what feels good, you'll discover what brings you pleasure and what doesn't. It's also a way to detect any potential health issues, an added bonus.
• Better sex with your partner: Knowing how to pleasure yourself makes it easier to guide your partner in understanding what turns you on. This can greatly enhance your sexual encounters together.
• Healthy stress reduction: Forget pills, alcohol, or cigarettes. Fingering yourself is a natural way to reduce your stress. It's a healthy way to relax and feel good.
• A boosted mood: Masturbation releases a cocktail of happiness and excitement hormones, such as dopamine, endorphins, serotonin, and oxytocin. This can instantly lift your spirits and provide a sense of well-being.
• Practicality: vibromasseurs are great, but you might not always have one ready to go, whether you're on holiday, have dead batteries, or lack an electrical outlet. Your fingers, however, are always available. Learning to use them is a brilliant idea to ensure you're never without pleasure.

You'll soon discover that fingering yourself is more than just a solo pleasure practice—it's a genuine source of well-being and self-knowledge.

To make your first fingering experience enjoyable and relaxing, it's essential to prepare yourself and create the right atmosphere. Here are some steps to help you feel comfortable and ready:

• Prep your body: Start by taking a soothing bath. Clean your intimate areas with water and a gentle soap. This will not only make you feel clean but also help you relax if you're feeling nervous.
• Choose the ideal location: Opt for a place where you feel safe and comfortable. If you live in a shared accommodation, the bathroom or your bedroom (if it locks) are perfect choices. Arrange some pillows under your back for extra comfort, or lie down on your bed or sofa.
• Create a relaxing ambiance: Light a few candles for soft, calming light. Put on some soft, sexy music to set a sensual mood.
• Get comfortable: To begin, lie on your back, completely naked, with your legs slightly apart. This position will help you relax and focus on your sensations.

Creating an environment conducive to exploring your body and discovering new sensations will help you savour every moment of this intimate experience.

Lube is the magic ingredient to make your fingering session much more enjoyable! Here are some tips for using it properly:

Lube will significantly enhance your experience and make every movement more fluid and pleasant. Take the time to apply the lube well to maximise your comfort and pleasure.

If you don't have much experience, the best way to begin is by stimulating your external erogenous zones. Here's how to proceed:

• Caress your vaginal lips: Use several fingers to caress your vaginal lips in circular motions. Vary the sensations to discover what you enjoy most. Take your time to explore and savour each touch.
• Stimulate your clit: The clitoris is an extremely powerful erogenous zone. To start, make small circular movements on the hood, that sensitive little fold of skin covering the clitoris. Directly stimulating the clitoris can be too intense and may cause discomfort, which is not the goal.
• Experiment with different amounts of pressure: Play with different levels of pressure to find what suits you best. It's preferable to start gently and gradually increase pressure as you feel comfortable.

Exploring your external erogenous zones is the perfect way to discover new and pleasant sensations. The golden rule? Take your time and listen to your body.

Once you're aroused and well lubricated, thanks to the water-based lube and your natural lubrication, you can move on to internal exploration. Here's how to proceed:

• Gently insert one finger: Start by inserting one finger very slowly into your vagina. Take your time to get used to this new sensation.
• Stimulate your G-spot: Bend your finger upwards, about 5 cm inside your vagina, to try and stimulate your G-spot. This area can be particularly sensitive and a source of intense pleasure.
• Change up movements and amounts of pressure: As with external areas, pay attention to what you enjoy. Try different types of movements and pressure levels to discover what brings you the most pleasure.
• Try using multiple fingers: If you enjoy the sensation of one finger inside your vagina, you can also try using multiple fingers later on. Don't hesitate to add more lube if needed to maintain a pleasant glide.

If you've never had penetrative sex or used tampons, it's even more important to take your time and be gentle with yourself. Let your sensations guide you and savour every moment of this intimate exploration.

Now that you've got the hang of some basic techniques, it's time to let your imagination run wild and explore new sensations. Here are some ideas to mix things up:

• Try different positions: Change positions to discover what brings you the most pleasure. Lie on your side, sit up, or even get on all fours. Each position can offer unique sensations.
• Stimulate your other erogenous zones: Besides your vagina and clitoris, explore other erogenous zones on your body. For example, caress your breasts or use hands-free sex toys like nipple suckers if you enjoy breast stimulation. You could also try a butt plug if you like anal stimulation.
• Use accessories: Sex toys can be great allies in mixing up your pleasure. A vibrator, clit stimulator, or even a butt plug can add a new dimension to your fingering session.

As you become more confident, why not invite your partner to watch and learn what brings you pleasure? It'll be exciting for both of you!

Don't forget to always wash your hands afterwards for your hygiene. This helps prevent infections and maintains good intimate health. Take care of yourself and your body by following this essential step.

We hope this how-to guide has given you the courage and confidence to explore your body and discover new sensations.
