Introduction

Masturbation is natural, healthy, and even beneficial when done right. But let’s be honest—most guys were never really taught the best way to jerk off. It’s usually rushed, routine, and uninspired. Want to change that?

This guide shares safe, expert-backed techniques and tips to make solo play more satisfying and long-lasting.

Let’s explore the best ways to masturbate smarter, not harder.

Why Knowing the Best Way to Jerk Off Matters

Your masturbation routine impacts more than just your orgasm. The right techniques can help you last longer, improve sexual confidence, and even benefit your health.

If you're working on endurance and stamina, products like the EjaGuard Delay Spray can complement your training for better orgasm control.

Thoughtful masturbation boosts self-awareness, reduces stress, and trains your body for better control during partner sex. Mastering how to jerk off is about turning a quick release into a quality experience.

Set the Mood: Your Environment & Mindset

You wouldn’t rush a great date, so don’t rush solo play. The best way to jerk off starts with the right environment:

• Dim lighting or candlelight

• Comfortable, clean sheets or couch

• Phone off or in Do Not Disturb mode

Mentally, think of it as you time. Take deep breaths. Let arousal build slowly. A relaxed mindset enhances sensitivity and prolongs pleasure.

Enhance your setting with EjaGuard’s selection of sensual lingerie and sex toys to elevate the experience beyond just the basics.

Prepping Your Body: Hygiene and Comfort

Cleanliness matters. Wash your hands and penis before you begin. Trimmed nails prevent scratches, and clean surfaces reduce the chance of irritation or infection.

Start with clean hands and a fresh environment—pairing this with a warm shower or EjaGuard’s premium lubricants can make a major difference in comfort and stimulation.

Find a comfortable position—lying down, reclining, or even standing in the shower. The key is to be relaxed and distraction-free.

Best Techniques to Masturbate (Beginner to Advanced)

Now we get to the fun part: how to actually jerk off for maximum satisfaction. As you explore different methods, adding tools like EjaGuard’s masturbators and strokers can intensify sensations and mimic real-feel experiences.

1. The Classic Stroke (With Variation)

• Grip your shaft with your dominant hand and slide up and down

• Try slow strokes, circular motions around the tip, or changing speeds

• Alternate grip strength to enhance sensation

2. Edging (Orgasm Control)

• Masturbate until you're close to orgasm, then stop

• Wait 30-60 seconds, then repeat

• Doing this 3-5 times builds intense climax control

3. The Start-Stop Method

• Similar to edging but with more intentional pauses

• Great for guys working on premature ejaculation

4. The Two-Hand Technique

• One hand at the base, one at the shaft or tip

• Create twisting or sliding motions for full coverage

5. Pelvic Floor Activation (Kegels)

• Flex your pelvic muscles (as if stopping urination)

• Do short or long squeezes during masturbation

• Builds stamina and can lead to stronger orgasms

Use Lubes and Tools for Next-Level Pleasure

Dry jerking can lead to friction, discomfort, and even skin damage. Lube changes everything.

Upgrade your solo sessions with EjaGuard’s Delay Spray, designed to enhance stamina without sacrificing sensitivity.

Best Lube Options for Jerking Off:

• Water-based: Safe, easy to clean

• Silicone-based: Long-lasting and slick

• Delay lubricants: Contain desensitizers to help you last longer (like EjaGuard Delay Spray)

You can also explore:

• Fleshlights or strokers

• Vibrating rings

• Warm compresses for testicles

Edging and Orgasm Control

Edging is more than a masturbation trick—it’s a game-changer. This technique can:

• Make orgasms more intense

• Improve ejaculation control

• Boost awareness of arousal levels

To edge correctly:

• Focus on sensation, not speed

• Slow or stop stimulation when nearing climax

• Breathe deeply and relax your pelvic area

Repeat this cycle 3-5 times for an explosive finish.

Practicing edging regularly can help delay climax during partner sex—pair it with EjaGuard’s delay-enhancing lubricants for added control and intensity.

The NoFap Angle: Should You Take Breaks?

Some guys find benefits in taking masturbation breaks. The NoFap challenge promotes abstaining from porn or orgasms to reset sexual habits.

Reported benefits include:

• Higher testosterone

• Increased motivation

• More control over urges

While it’s not for everyone, taking short breaks or reducing frequency can help you develop better solo and partner-sex habits.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Even something as simple as jerking off has its pitfalls. Avoid these:

• Going too fast or rough

• Using harsh soaps or oils not meant for genital skin

• Masturbating out of boredom instead of desire

• Watching too much porn (can numb arousal over time)

Over-reliance on porn can dull sensitivity—Healthline notes the impact of overstimulation on the brain's reward system.

When to Seek Help

If masturbation becomes compulsive, interferes with your sex life, or causes physical pain, it’s time to talk to a doctor or sex therapist. Healthy solo play should enhance, not harm, your wellness.
