From a couple with a video camera to full-time sex coaching, Boris and Nicole create content with the aim of demystifying the human body, specifically the vulva and the female orgasm. Since May is International Masturbation Month, they’re joining us to share their best advice for celebrating self-love, alone or with a partner!

We tend to think of masturbation as a solo activity; what are some ways couples can incorporate masturbation into partnered sex?  

One of our favorite ways to incorporate this type of play as a couple is Nuru massages. The Nuru massage is an erotic massage where the masseur gives a full-body, full-contact massage to another partner covered in lubricant like massage oil or massage gel. It’s very sensual and slippery; you can massage and touch different parts of the body while gently moaning in your partner’s ear, kissing, and teasing. Take your time with it. Gently touch between the legs and butt, increasing arousal until it’s time to stimulate their genitals. During the Nuru massage someone is a giver, and someone is a receiver, so once the receiver has an orgasm, partners can switch roles.  

A creative way to surprise your partner when they are not home is to film a solo masturbation video and send it to them. Don’t forget to mention while filming the video that this is only for him or her to make it special. Talk about how you think about your partner while masturbating and how it makes you horny.

Solo masturbation videos are popular on Pornhub. From a production perspective, how can Models create better, more engaging solo videos?  

There are 2 main styles of solo videos: The first is where you film as if no one is watching. The second is where you acknowledge the camera.  

The first is simple; you’re pretending there is no camera at all. Place the camera on a tripod, record, and just enjoy yourself.  

For the other style, you’re keeping contact with the camera as if it is someone in the room watching you. If you feel comfortable, talk to the camera as if it were a person. People love dirty talk.  

If you are not comfortable with dirty talk, a great chance to get a lot of views is to film videos from the perfect angle. For example, being in a squat position when the camera is pointing from the ground up is a great shot!  

In both styles, it’s important to stay open to the camera, not covering your genitals for too long, as the viewer wants to see the action.  

Well-lit videos always perform better; with natural daylight you can get great shots. You should be facing the window with the camera facing you; the camera should never face the light source as you’ll come out dark and the background will be overexposed. If natural daylight isn’t sufficient or you film in the evening, get a Softbox light, they’re inexpensive and create great lighting. Lighting should always be behind the camera facing you.  

What are some tips for men specifically to create better solo videos?

The tips described in the previous question about style, lighting and production can apply to both men and women. However, if you’re a male model, it’s good to look at who your audience is. Is it women, men, or both? Your dirty talk should be different for men and women. Many male creators make videos for women without realizing they’re missing out on an opportunity to increase their views by making videos for other men. Don’t be afraid to include your butt and butthole in these videos as well.

How can women increase pleasure when masturbating?  

Women can increase pleasure with teasing and edging. Don’t try to cum too fast, take your time and enjoy every touch and every movement. Understanding your anatomy is essential, specifically the clitoral hood and urethral sponge, AKA, the G-spot. These are the parts that are the most sensitive to stimulation. If you have a big clitoral hood, you need to uncover your clitoral head to feel it. If you want to know more about female anatomy and urethral sponge (G-spot), check our educational videos

When masturbating with toys, avoid using high power vibrators in the beginning, as it can have a numbing effect. It is better to gradually increase the power, rather than overstimulate too quickly. You can really take your orgasm to new heights.  

How can men increase pleasure when masturbating?  

Men’s pleasure can be intensified by stimulating the perineum, where they can stimulate the root of the penis. Learning to stimulate the prostate can also take masturbation to a different level.

For toys, make sure the toys have a “sucking” function that creates a vacuum, it’s more pleasurable than toy masturbators that only have a turning function. Make sure you’re using lubricant for smooth sliding; it will feel more intense, and you’ll prevent scratching or discomfort. 

Are there any common mistakes people make when masturbating?  

One of the most common mistakes people make is putting all their attention and efforts on stimulating the genitals and ignoring other erogenous zones. We have so many body parts that increase our pleasure, it’s a shame not to use them! In our sex coaching course, we have a special exercise about discovering your erogenous zones.  

People also tend to focus too much on the orgasm itself rather than enjoying the pleasureful journey towards orgasm. Orgasms last anywhere from 5 to 20 seconds. With the right mindset and stimulation for your body, you can learn to have orgasmic sensations throughout your entire masturbation session.

Many men tend to cum quickly when masturbating. They create a habit which can decrease their endurance when having sex with a partner. Men should practice teasing and edging when masturbating so they can last longer in partnered sex.  

What are some common misconceptions or myths about masturbation that you often hear from people you work with?

We often hear that if people in a relationship are masturbating, it means their sex life with their partner is unfulfilling, which is completely false. Masturbation is important and healthy for your sexuality, even if you have a partner.

Another falsity is that watching porn is a solo activity; it can be a great bonding experience for couples.  

What has been your favorite part of transitioning from content creators to sex coaches?

While helping people improve their sex lives, it also positively affects other aspects of their lives such as their relationships with their partners, family, their work performance, and being generally more satisfied and joyful because of their newfound confidence. We’ve received messages telling us we’ve saved marriages, we’ve helped couples orgasm for the first time, or that women are squirting for the first time after watching our instructional videos. This is priceless for us. If you want to bring your sexuality to a different level and bring a new spark to your relationship, join our online course.
