How to Jerk Off
Not sure who needs to hear this, but masturbation is pretty great. Sure, we could talk about all the health benefits and how it can help with mental health or stress. But let’s be honest—no one’s really thinking about that when they’re having a wank. What they’re probably thinking is, “Damn, this feels really good.” And that’s a completely natural reaction, because masturbation really does feel good.
If you're a little inexperienced in the art of wanking, or just looking to improve your technique, don’t worry. That’s exactly what we’re here to talk about today. Here are some tips for penis masturbation and how to jerk off better.

Technique Matters: Experiment, Adjust, Enjoy
It might feel a little strange to think about your masturbation technique. For most people, it’s something they just sort of figured out on their own, or maybe picked up from watching porn. After a certain point, it becomes an “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it” kind of mindset. And while that’s totally fair, that way of thinking can hold you back. It might keep you from discovering new techniques and sensations that could seriously upgrade your orgasms. And let’s be honest, who doesn’t want that?
First up, move your attention away from the penis. There are certain places on the body called erogenous zones that react to being touched, whether by yourself or by a partner. When stimulated, you can feel some sexual pleasure, enhancing your masturbation experience. Where are these zones? It depends on the person, but some common ones that you could reach on your own are:
- Nipples
- Chest
- Stomach
- Neck
- Buttocks
A more male-specific spot is the prostate, which can be externally stimulated by touching your perineum (more commonly known as the taint, the area between the scrotum and anus), which is located right between your scrotum and buttocks. To find your zones, take your time during your next wank and feel around your whole body as well. Experiment with what zones really get you going and which don’t. The same goes for the penis. Perhaps you focus only on your shaft and not so much on the tip. Get the scrotum involved to see if that does anything for you. One of the fun parts of jerking off is the freedom to explore yourself.
Pace Yourself: Slow and Steady (or Fast and Furious?)
Some people like to draw out their wank session. Edging, or stopping in the middle of masturbation to take you back from the edge, has its place. This is especially useful to those who find themselves struggling with ejaculating a little quicker than they would like. The speed of strokes also varies from person to person. Some like to draw out each stroke, then speed up, while others want to go fast out of the gate like they are trying to set a speed record. A common theme you’ll find in this guide is that experimentation is key when it comes to jerking off.
The Right Tools for the Job: Finding What Works for You
You don’t need to just use your hand for masturbating. There are plenty of male sex toys specially designed to give you stimulation that sadly your hand can’t provide on its own. TENGA also has some great items that can suit your unique needs and even complement some of the tips we have discussed today.
For those of you who really want to focus on the tip of the penis, the TENGA SD CUP Series is right up your alley. The SD CUP was specially designed to make sure that the tip gets the direct stimulation that it deserves. Also, thanks to its smaller size, you can go a little faster with your stroke if you please.
Speaking of quick strokes, we have to mention the FLIP ZERO GRAVITY Series. The internal details are a little more condensed and less protruding than some of the other items in the FLIP ZERO Series, giving you enough room to really up the speed of your strokes. Speed demons will appreciate the smoother and faster strokes that you can get with a FLIP ZERO GRAVITY.
Conclusion: No Wrong Way, Just Your Way
After reading all this, you might be wondering if the way you jerk off is “normal” because it’s not listed. That’s one of the nice things about it, there really isn’t a normal way to masturbate. As long as you aren’t risking injury to yourself or others, do what feels good to you. Wanking is a solo act and it’s up to you to find various techniques, speeds and supporting sex toys that work for you. Some methods you might use for a long time, or you might rotate to keep things fresh. If you need some inspiration, there are plenty of great male sex toys that can provide all sorts of sensations and stimulations, helping you get that perfect orgasm.
