Okay, let me tell you how this went down for me. I kept hearing about this “guided masturbation” thing, mostly whispers online, you know? Sounded a bit weird, like, do I really need someone telling me what to do? But hey, curiosity got the better of me. Things had felt a bit… same old, same old, if you catch my drift.
Getting Started – The Setup
So, first thing, I needed to actually find one of these guides. Didn’t want anything too complicated. Found some audio stuff, figured that was less distracting than video. Didn’t want to be watching someone else, felt kinda strange. Just wanted the voice, the instructions.
Then it was about setting the scene. This felt kinda silly at first, like I was prepping for a date with myself. Dimmed the lights, made sure the door was locked – didn’t need any interruptions, thank you very much. Grabbed my favorite comfy blanket. Took a few deep breaths, tried to just… chill out. My mind races sometimes, so that was step one, just calming the brain noise.
Following Along – The Actual Process
Alright, pressed play. The voice started, real calm. Told me to get comfortable, focus on breathing. Okay, doable. Then it moved onto just… noticing sensations. Like, the feel of the sheets, the air on my skin. Sounds basic, but honestly? I usually skip right past that stuff. My brain’s already at the finish line.
It guided me through different types of touch:
- Light touches first, exploring areas I sometimes neglect.
- Building up pressure slowly, focusing on the feeling itself, not just the goal.
- Changing rhythms, faster, slower, paying attention to how that felt different.
The weirdest part? Having someone else dictate the pace. Usually, I’m in control, right? But letting go of that, just following the instructions… it was different. Sometimes the voice would suggest something, and I’d think “Nah, that won’t work,” but I tried it anyway. Sometimes it was a miss, other times, surprisingly good.
It wasn’t just about the physical, either. The guide kept bringing me back to my breath, to the sensations, telling me to let go of thoughts. That was the hardest bit, keeping my mind from wandering off to my grocery list or that annoying email I had to send.
Wrapping Up – The Feeling After
When it was over, I just kinda lay there for a bit. Felt… relaxed. Like, really relaxed. Not just the physical release, but my head felt quieter too. It wasn’t earth-shattering fireworks every single second, mind you. Some parts were just okay. But the whole process, being mindful and guided? It definitely shook things up from my usual routine.
Honestly, the main takeaway for me wasn’t some magic new technique. It was more about slowing down, paying attention to my own body, and getting out of my head. Giving myself permission to just explore without a specific goal sometimes. Felt less like a task and more like… discovery, I guess? Yeah, that sounds about right. It made me realize I rush things too much, even when I’m by myself. Worth trying if you’re feeling stuck in a rut, I’d say.
