49. Practicing Mindful Masturbation

How can you be more mindful with masturbation?   Mindfulness has taken off as a wellness practice in recent years, yet most people don't generally think of using it in the context of masturbation. Mindful masturbation is all about reconnecting with yourself and focusing on what makes you feel good. The practice encourages everyone to slow down, become conscious of pleasure and explore the body more holistically, instead of just focusing on the genitals. On this episode, Sara and co-host Prescott invite Singaporean sexuality and intimacy coach Gabriel / "Pothos" (https://www.sensualmassageart.com/) to talk about the benefits of mindful masturbation, and how to get started with the practice.    While having a quick orgasm solo can be efficient and convenient, we share how mindful masturbation can bring benefits such as enhanced pleasure, increased sexual confidence, and a release of performance anxiety.   We also discuss how sex journals, fantasising and even porn watching can all be used as tools to discover more about our sexuality, if we use them mindfully.   Finally, Gabriel takes Sara and Prescott through a short, 10 minute guided meditation (for masturbation) demonstration on air, which listeners can follow along to too.   If you're hoping to gain a deeper understanding of your sexuality the practice of mindful masturbation, this episode will offer you all the tips, insights and guidance you need.     Get bonus content and support us on Patreon http://patreon.com/betterinbed   Visit Sarasense website http://sarasense.com    Follow @hellosarasense on Instagram   Episode Sponsor: Use code BETTERINBED for 15% off Ohmibod products at https://www.lovelifetoys.com/   Detailed show notes for this episode here http://sarasense.com/podcast
