We have dozens upon dozens of verbal euphemisms for masturbation: jerking off, shucking the corn, paddling the pink canoe among them. But, as the age-old adage declares, a picture is worth a thousand words, which means GIFs are worth at least a million. 

So behold: A collection of GIFs that could — and should — be used to symbolize masturbation. They range from very obvious to something a little more subtle, and the dirtier mind you have the more amusing this journey of simulated self-love will be.  Read more…

Size matters — at least when it comes to sex toys.

If you’re looking to treat yourself in the bedroom there are millions of sex toys to choose from, but one of the greatest things about masturbating is you’re totally in control. 

You decide how to pleasure yourself, which means you have the option to go big — like, really really big — if you so choose.

There are some ridiculously massive sex toys on the market these days — some so large they’re almost comical. But hey, we’re not here to judge. You do you… literally. Read more…

Pornhub reveals what people search for when it comes to masturbation porn

When it comes to searching for masturbation on Pornhub, it’s different strokes for different folks — literally. 

According to the popular adult entertainment site, these were the most popular search terms among users looking for videos about self-pleasure: “masturbation,” “masturbate,” “jerking off,” and “masturbating.” Those four terms alone make up 85 percent of the searches. Not too creative, but, um, they get the job done.

Once you get past those terms and into the next tier, however, it does get a little more compelling. Among other search terms in the top 25 results are: “finger fuck,” “fap,” “fapping,” “finger bang,” “muffin,” “jilling,” and, naturally, “rubbing one out.” Read more…

Cast your mind back to the last time you cracked one out, knocked one off, rubbed one out, masturbated — whatever you call it. You may well have noticed a few rather curious physiological responses that occurred in addition to your own personal pleasure party.

Things like getting a rash across your chest after you come, one of your testes ascending while you’re jacking off, or not being able to pee afterwards. Granted, we’re often far too preoccupied with our own arousal to pay heed to a lot of these little biological quirks. But, have you ever wondered why they happen?  Read more…

As Dr. Ian Malcolm says in the original Jurassic Park, “Nature finds a way.”

Yes, nature does find a way to flourish, to spread, to evolve — and even to masturbate.

But what about all those animals that aren’t primates? How can species that lack hands perform this tender act of self-love? Think of the whales and the turtles.

Here are seven animals that bravely find pretty NSFW ways to get their rocks off — and we mean actual rocks — without the use of hands.  Read more…

The stigma against buying used sex toys has weakened. But is it really a good idea?

I dream of the day our nation’s greatest minds come together and invent a compostable dildo.

Tragically, that day has not arrived.

Over the past few years, however, there’s been a growing interest in sustainable sex toys — including, but thankfully not limited to, used sex toys. Browse Craigslist, Reddit, or even some of your favorite sex-positive Facebook groups, and you’re guaranteed to find a discounted, freshly boiled anal plug for sale.

And while there’s nothing quite so magical as coming home to a warm pot of cock rings on the stove, it’s worth noting that no used sex toy is ever completely free of risk. Read more…

Everyone has their own methods of self-care and self-love, and Pornhub has decided to kill two birds with one stone with their latest offering: athletic socks. 

Featuring adult film stars Asa Akira, Madison Ivy, and Jonny Sinns, the new socks come with a campaign that’s positively erupting with double-entendres, like the hashtag “#beatyourself” and their suggestions for multiple uses.

Corey Price, VP of Pornhub, explains the reasoning behind the product: “For as long as I can remember, socks have served a dual purpose. Not only are they a staple of our everyday attire, but some people have MacGyvered them to serve as a tool for self-love and…clean up. Following our foray into the fitness and fashion industries, it made sense for us to release a sock line that appeals to both athletes and fashionistas, as well as self-love enthusiasts.” Read more…
