Yes No. I believe in masturbation. Masturbation is part of being sexually healthy. Overall, I don't think there's any sinful or shameful about masturbation.

So go treat yourself. You deserve it.

So I wanted to talk about a study that came out that inspired me. I thought it was something we needed to cover. So, you know, I'm a fan of masturbation. It's no secret, masturbating, all genders, we should be masturbating. But there is apparently a masturbation gap. And I've always known that there was a masturbation gap. It's no secret that men's masturbation practices are sort of glorified. We hear about in the media. You know, men are masturbating, of course, and with women there's still sort of a mystery around it or embarrassment. A lot of women are sort of shy about masturbating or they still, they feel like it's wrong and it's something they shouldn't do. There was a study that came out that said the masturbation gap between men and women is a staggering 76%. There was a 76% gap how often men masturbate and women masturbate. Even though vibrators are way more commonplace right now. We know about the pay gap, the pension gap, there's a health gap and there's also an orgasm gap. We've talked about that. But it makes sense that there be all these gaps if women aren't taking their pleasure into their own hands. I mean, I used to believe that someday my prince would come and so would I. I thought that I would meet a partner, I'd meet a lover, and he would know exactly what to do with my body. That men were shipped off to some secret school where they learned all about women's bodies and they knew everything. And it's funny, I really did believe that. I thought, well, no one told me about my body. No one. No one said to me, oh, here's your clitoris and here's how you masturbate. And, you know, take your time, figure it out. No, I just kept having disappointing sex. But, you know, it all leads back to this. You have to learn how to operate your own machinery. Take a look at what's going on between your legs. It does say here that only 14% of British people think society accepts female masturbation. 33% said they don't masturbate. They just don't. And then 9% of men said they weren't interested in masturbating. So 33% are like, I don't. 9%. Only 9% of men. And so I just want to talk about that for a minute and say, why? What is keeping you from masturbating? And a lot of people think that it has to do with libido. Oh, well, women have a lower libido. But the survey dispelled this myth, and I actually could dispel this myth without even taking a survey. I believe that if you want to be sexually healthy, that masturbation is part of that. And so they found here that it's not so much how often women need to masturbate. It's about as much as they feel they can masturbate. So I believe that libido has a lot to do with our mindset. Right. So this whole notion, well, oh, she must have a low libido, and, no, it's that women might be desiring sex, but they don't think they can. They don't think it's right. They think it's shameful. Or they think, if I have a partner, I should no longer need to masturbate. And none of that is true. No matter what your gender, keep masturbating whether you're in a relationship or not. It's like. It's like saying, once I get into a relationship, I'm going to stop. I don't know, seeing my friends or cooking. Like, there's no. They're. They're all correlated. And sex begets sex. So the more that we have, we masturbate, we have orgasms. The more we're going to want it. That's how it all works. So I'm just curious, does this resonate with you? Is there a masturbation gap? 27 year old female on Instagram. What's the best way to have multiple orgasms? Well, the best way to do it is to first decide that you want to do it. Because the good news about having a vulva is that the majority of us who have one, and some people know it as the vagina, but the vulva is the external part of the vagina. We can have multiple orgasms. It is possible. In fact, our clitoris, which is responsible for majority of our orgasms, only exists for pleasure. It's only there. It has 8,000 nerve endings, the penis has 4,000. And it's only there to give you pleasure. But which is pretty freaking cool when you look at like biology and how we've evolved. But the challenge is no one ever gave us an instruction manual and was like, hey, you've got this love button and you can ride it all day. You're like, really? I didn't know that. I just had one orgasm and I'm tired. So learning to have multiple orgasms, like I believe that the many women can now there's some women that can't. There's a few reasons why, like women who have a certain kind of orgasm or intense orgasms that are like women whose clitorises are really sensitive typically can only have like really big internal orgasms. But I'm just going to go with the majority of women that can have multiples for this purpose. So it first comes with, let's just talk about during masturbation because that's how I learned like, I feel like so many of the ways that I've learned my body and I've learned how to become a better lover to lovers is by learning to become a better one to myself. So I was like you, I only had one orgasm and I was fine that I finally had one. And then I was like, okay. And so what you do is you really just sort of.

You turn yourself on, you masturbate how you always masturbate. Touch yourself. Maybe you have one orgasm and then usually when you would stop after that orgasm, you kind of pull your fingers away. Maybe you start playing with your nipples, using your hands all over your body, rubbing your inner thighs, just sort of taking away right from the clitoris or wherever you were rubbing. Then you start to breathe at the same time. And I'm talking like a deep breath where you're Like. Like, way down to your pelvic floor. Like, you're feeling it go there. And then you have a long exhale. Exhale. Like, those deep breaths. And then you can go back and start playing into. Maybe you're mixing up the way you were touching. Maybe you. If you're using a vibrator, use it a different part. Maybe you start to tease your labia. Because it's not just about the clitoris. Women have the ability to have orgasms in so many different ways. Like, there's a lot of other erectile tissue that you find in the labia. And you're over your pubic mound, which is right above your vaginal opening. So it's just a practice of knowing that it's possible and that breathing. And so because our refractory period, meaning the time between orgasms for women is a lot shorter. Like, for men, it can be, like 24 hours. For women, it can be 30 seconds or a few minutes when you're learning to practice. The other tip is doing your Kegel exercises. You strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. Those are the response. Those are the muscles that are responsible for orgasms. The stronger those muscles are, the more likely you'll be able to have orgasms and multiple orgasms. Let's talk to Joey 35 in Pennsylvania. Hi, Joey. Thanks for calling.

Yeah, so I've been with my girlfriend for a number of years and the sex is really good. Except, like, she has a trouble reaching orgasm from, like, me giving her oral.

Okay.

I was wondering if there's anything I could do.

Does she reach orgasm through in other ways?

Yeah, like, when she masturbates, she can do it easily.

Okay. Oh, perfect. So have you asked her to give you a little bit of, like, feedback?

Not really. I just kind of do what I think right. Make, you know.

Totally. Got it. That's what we do. Well, Joey, it's a good question because here's the thing. A lot of times, and I've been there, I've been your girlfriend. That way of, like, I know a guy's going down on me, he's making an effort. It feels good, but not great. And I don't really know how to explain it, but I know it's not quite there, but I don't want him to feel bad. This is. And so that could be happening right now. So maybe she also would love to come through oral sex. But you guys need to kind of figure this out together. So ask her what she likes. Maybe she wants, like, a lighter touch. Maybe she wants. Maybe she really doesn't know. What a really fun thing to do is kind of a mutual masturbation session where you're both kind of getting off and you're both sort of looking at each other and they like. It's really. It's a twofer because you're looking and you're like, that's really hot. See her masturbate. That's really hot. And you're learning. You're like, oh. She takes her finger in between her labia, moves it up and down. I never touch her labia when I'm doing this kind of thing, you know? You could also use, like, a toy. Like, if she has any toys like those. Does she masturbate with a toy or with her fingers?

Do you know, with a toy?

So I say, play with her. Be like, let's do this together. Use some lube. Get into it. Ask her. Tell you want to be a great lover. All right, Joey.

Okay. Thanks a lot.

Of course. Got you. I mean, explore with her. I think this whole, like, it has to be my penis, it has to be my mouth. Or use the toy that she uses on herself. But then you do it, play with it. For some women, it might be harder to kind of explain what parts of our body we're touching or what feels good. And we might not even know. Maybe you're just licking your clitoris but you're not licking the labia. Because the labia, which is like the lips, as you might call them there's clitoral legs. So the clitoris is the button that we all know at the top but behind the labia, it's like a voice. They're the legs of the clitoris. So for many women, stimulating that part would feel great. This is from Marie, 33, in New Jersey. Hey, Dr. Emily. I'm looking for recommendations for a G spot toy. I've only been able to have clitoral orgasms with oral or vibrator. And after listening to your show, I want to explore my G spot and have an internal orgasm. What toys do you recommend for a beginner or someone who's never even played around with that area before? Should I try to combine clitoral stimulation with G spot stimulation? Yes, Marie, thank you for your question. So really common question. I mean, many people want to know, how do I have an internal orgasm? I try to remind you that no orgasm is better than another. But I do want you to be able to unlock different kinds of pleasure. It's important. And if you listen to my show, just to remind you, you know, that only 30% of vulva owners are going to orgasm through penetration. So I encourage all vulva owners to explore, and it has to do with your anatomy. Like how close you your clitoris is to your vaginal opening, is how more likely you are to orgasm during penetration. So there's nothing wrong with you. They're not a trick you're going to learn. This is just how we're born. So I do think that most vulva owners can have internal orgasms at some point in their lives, but this will likely happen during solo play or by bringing toys into the bedroom. That's just the fact all vulva owners have internal pleasure points. You just need to find them in different ways. And it's often easier for vulva owners to have a G spot orgasm if they've already had a clitoral orgasm, or in some cases, having clitoral stimulation at the same time, because this whole complex network of nerves are all related. Okay. So if you have the clitoral one first, you're sort of warming up. The nerves are becoming a little more engorged and turned on, but again, you can do that together. So you mentioned that you can also have clitoral orgasms through vibrators and oral sex. Well, I know of a really great vibrator that stimulates your G area and feels like oral sex on your clitoris. And it's by Saray. It's a brand new company that I am obsessed with their whole philosophy. And they have this awesome pleasure tool called the spellbound stimulator. Check this. It combines clit pulsation airwave technology so that pulsation with a flexible insertable G spot vibrator for simultaneous G spot and clitoral stimulation. And it was developed by physicians who are really, really passionate about women's health. And it was designed so that the angle of the spellbound adjusts to your anatomy. Okay, so it wasn't just randomly made, like, I hope this works. They worked really hard to develop products that fit to the anatomy. And they're A.D. that's key to the philosophy of all their products, which I think is really cool. And they have another one that I want to tell you about, which it's a little bit more advanced. They have a tool called the Reverie, which you insert into your anus during solo partnered sex. So check this. It changes the angle of your rectum, which by proximity enhances the angle of your vaginal canal, which I think this is great to use with a partner during penetration, and it just might help you have more pleasure it makes the vaginal slope steeper. So it's steeper. That can make penetrative sex intercourse way more enjoyable. It's kind of a game changer. These are a few toys I recommend to explore your G spot, have an internal orgasm and have fun. If you want to try Surrey's pleasure tools, you can get 15% off your first order. Using code EMILY15, go to getsarre.com swe that's get C E R E.com swe or just click the link in our show notes. But here's the thing. Remember, when you're stimulating your G spot, you have to go slow. You want to go steady and slow and be patient. It takes a while. You've never woken up. This part of you. I'm telling you, we all have these nerve endings, but you have to be patient. It might not happen the first time, but I want you to breathe and get curious. What am I feeling in the moment? How does it feel with this toy to be inside of me, Right. What angles feel good to me? You want to get curious about it. You know, with clitoral stimulation, you can go faster. You know how to do that. But the G area, that likes it low and slow. So have fun exploring, take your time, and enjoy all those incredible nerve endings all over your body. Let me know how it goes. Don't go anywhere, because after the break, I'm talking group masturbation parties. And what you all want to know. How often should you be masturbating?

Talk to Tom61 in Tampa. Hey, Tom, what's going on? Thanks for calling.

Hey, how you doing?

I'm great.

Several years back, I heard a term called a Jack and Jill party.

Okay.

And I don't know if you know about that or heard about that or. In other words.

No. I feel like, is it where everyone's jacking off or is it also a bachelor party where people are like. It's like women and men invited to a bachelor party.

I think it's. I think it's from. From what I understand is I've never attended one or seen pictures, really, so much of one. I've just heard about it. I think it was more the former, which is people to get together and masturbate of all sexes. And what I sense is it's kind of like a. More of a safe place rather than just hooking up randomly. And, you know, and, you know, I'm.

Saying, yeah, I've heard about masturbation parties. I've heard about things like this. I have, like, a Jack and Jill, I have heard about this. It's been years since I've heard about it. I haven't been invited to one lately, but it's kind of reminds me of cuddle parties, which was started about 15, 20 years ago. So I feel that, you know, if, you know. Are you asking because you want to go to a party like this, Tom, or you just want to.

I'm just intrigued because your show is pretty intriguing and I haven't heard of a show like this in some time.

There hasn't been one.

You know what?

You know, love your. Yeah, I love your show. So I've just been. Thought I would just reach out.

I'm looking. It's like group sex. Okay. Get together. Of male and females. I'm looking this up. I heard about this years ago when male and females get together and they masturbate in a safe space, you know, like the parties I've been to, like sex parties or play parties or swinger parties. Typically they are like really safe and not skeezy. You have to follow certain rules. You have to be invited by somebody, you know, you. And people are very respectful because they're like, you just don't go up someone, like, jack off on them. It's like people are there to kind of. Maybe they're voyeurs or maybe there's power numbers. And so there's. I find that people who are in the sex positive community and who are into a lifestyle or kinkier sex or trying new things are typically really cool people. They're not. They're not the ones that I'm worried about.

Like.

Yeah, like where you go to, there's like a. You would ask for, you know, permission, if you will.

Yeah, consent. It's very consent based.

Yeah. Like in a more kinky or BDSM fashion, be like, well, there's limits or safe words, but it's already pronounced or defined when you say Jack and Jill party. So I thought I was just.

No, I think. Thanks, Tom. Yeah, no, thanks for bringing up. I think people are going to start. Try to find one in your area if they're legit. Thanks for calling. Let's talk to Josh, 35 in Ohio. Hi, Josh. What's going on?

Do you believe in masturbation? Should you do it weekly, monthly?

Yes.

Every other week?

Yes.

More than once a day?

Yes. No. I believe in masturbation. Masturbation is part of being sexually healthy. Overall, I don't think there's anything sinful or shameful about masturbation. Now when you do master, when you Masturbate all the time. For some people it can become a problem because then they can't like go to work anymore and they can't have relationships. But, but I think that masturbation and being, you know, it's self love if you think about it. So yeah, I have no problem with it.

Well, I didn't know. So should you do daily weekly?

Yeah. How is it working for you? I think daily does, if it feels good, do it daily. Why do you.

What about more once? What about more once a day?

Well, some people do it more a day.

The reason that I ask is because I live with somebody, a relative of mine, and I didn't think it would be right to do it in their house. You know what I mean?

Oh, I see what you're saying. I mean, I think if you're discreet or you do it in the shower or you keep. You lock your door, that it's, it's, this is what it's part of being healthy overall is masturbating. So I understand what you're saying and it feels disrespectful. But I also think that, you know, we all got to live in some way. So I think if you are respectful and you don't put it in their face, then I think it's fine. Okay, thank you. Thanks for your call. Thanks, Josh. This is from Stanley 54 in California. Hi, Dr. Emily. For the past six months, sex with my girlfriend of almost three years has been off. My drive is high and it seems like her drive isn't. She tells me that she just feels overwhelmed with work, kids, activities, stress, etc. She doesn't feel she has any time for herself. And when we do have sex, it's okay, but seems more clumsy lately. I bought her a vibrator last year and she does enjoy it. Lately I've learned that she will not be in the mood for sex but will use her vibrator after. I like the idea of it, but I can't help but feel a little jealous. I don't have to be there, but I love to hear about it. It turns me on. How can I get past this jealousy? All right, Stanley, thank you for your email question. Let me first say this. I like that she's still masturbating and taking care of herself. So I think that part is a good thing. You know, we have to keep our own pilot light lit. We all do. We are responsible for our own desire, arousal, for being turned on and in the mood. But you could have a conversation with her outside the bedroom. As I always recommend about your sex life and about your connection and what you're both craving right now. Listen, I have to tell you that stress, anxiety, kids, work, those are things that keep us from feeling turned on and in the mood for sex. So that is all valid too, to be experiencing anxiety. And one way to help relieve anxiety is by having an orgasm. And masturbation is the easy way to get there. That said, she's also, potentially, if she's around your age, in perimenopause or menopause. And I don't think we talk about this enough, but women go through this period of Life for about 8 to 10 years on average. And so there's sex drive changes, there's pain, there's actually more anxiety. There's just a lot of stuff that happens. And if she wants to, she could check out our friends at Odella Health. I just love Odella Health, what they're doing for women's health. You can call in, have a virtual appointment. Maybe if she's got hormonal challenges, they can prescribe something for her. So I would check that out. But I would recommend, though, that you do have a conversation with her outside the bedroom and just talk to her and say, what is it with our sex life? What are the things that you love about it? What's missing from it? What can we do to continue to be great lovers to each other? Because, listen, I want to remind you and remind everybody that your sex life with a partner is going to change over time. What you want the third year is going to be the same as the first year, Stanley. And if you went with someone for 20 years, it's certainly going to change what it was in year five or ten. I want everyone to understand this, which is why it's so important to have really candid, open, curious conversations with our partners about the status of our sex life and what we're into, because we are not mind readers. I love that she's into toys. Have you thought about incorporating a vibrator into your sex life? Something like a couple's vibe, like a cock ring? Lelo makes the brand new Tour 3. I love their Tour 2, but now there's a Tour 3, so I want to tell you about it. It's a flexible, vibrating cock ring that brings great pleasure to both of you. And you all know I always say that toys feel great on penises, too. And the Tour 3 is wonderful because it feels great for your partner because it vibrates the vibrating ring and it stimulates her clitoris during penetration. And Again, it's going to feel great on you. It's going to feel great on her. She can also take the ring off and just use it on her clitoris. There's a lot of different ways to use vibrators. Remember that. So the Tour 3 is a whole is the next level of the Tour 2 has more pleasure settings and intensities. And get this, it's connected to their Lelo app via Bluetooth. So you have even more control over the Tour 3, and you can take turns controlling it, which is a really fun way to play. A couple's tour like this could also help you get acclimated with the idea of bringing vibes into the bedroom. If that's something that either one of you have tried or you're not comfortable with, this will do it for you. But I have to remind you that maybe she's not being stimulated enough, you know, with penetration or with foreplay. That's really, really common. Not to knock you, Stanley, but many Vova owners don't have the most pleasure during penetration. And using a toy like this could really help her get her needs met. And yours. And what I love also is you get 25% off all LELO products. Just use code Sex with Emily at checkout. Go to LELO.com that's LELO.com use code sex with Emily for 25% off or just click the link in our show notes. So that's one thing I would try, you know, bring toys in the bedroom. And you can also just let her know that you think it's hot for her to engage in solo play. So in case she's feeling shameful about it. You said you found out that she does it. I think letting her know that you think it's hot and encouraging it, maybe she'll share with you what goes down because that could be another fun way for you guys to play. Maybe she'll dirty talk it to you. So if you also approach this topic with curiosity and interest and being open, she'll be way more likely to share her experiences with you so you won't feel left out. And listen, sometimes masturbation is just an easier, quicker way to orgasm. And especially if she's having stress. I just want to remind you of that. So don't forget to have conversations with her. Schedule time for intimacy that maybe doesn't even involve sex. Maybe just about connection. I want to remind everyone that we center so much on penetration, but sometimes it's just about wanting to hold hands or make out. But I guarantee once you have These open and curious and honest conversations and figure out how she might have more desire for partner play. I know that your sex life is going to blossom. Thanks, Stanley. Let's talk to a woman who would like to rename Anonymous. She's 38 years old. Hello there.

Hello.

Hi. How you doing? How can I help you?

Hi. I am dating someone who has been alone his whole life. He's 49 years old and he has never been with a woman before. And I'm his first person that he's been with. And he is not able to ejaculate when we were having sex. And it's just becoming like it's making me feel bad about myself, you know?

Totally understand that. So your partner's ability. Yeah.

It's just because he's used to doing it himself, you know, it's true.

Yep. Especially at 49. He's been masturbating for a long time and he's been doing it one way.

Yeah.

It has nothing to do. I'm just telling you this, that our partner's arousal level, if your partner has erection or doesn't have erection, if they have an orgasm, don't have an orgasm. It's typically, there's nothing to do with their female partner or even with women sometimes, like our arousal level, like, we could be really turned on but not be wet. So. So anyway, I think that actually, especially because he's 49. I mean, I see this with a lot of younger people as well, that are, you know, new, new to sex, new to sex with a partner that if your only way you've orgasmed for God knows, let's say 40 years, I don't know how long he's masturbating. Let's say 38, five years, has been with his hand in one position and one way when he starts having sex in a vagina, it's a completely different experience. So it's really about muscle memory. A lot of this is like how we actually have orgasms or how we experience pleasure. What gets us off. We typically have to mimic things, things that we're used to. Right. We have to mimic our hand or our vagina. So maybe when he's inside of you, you could also take your hand and maybe guide it in and out. Like kind of grip it at the base, move it up and down as he's going in and out. He could. I mean, does it feel good? Does the sex feel good to you? He.

Well, it does to me, but. And he says it does to him too. Yes, but I don't know. Thank you.

It doesn't have to. Listen to me. So many women were like, oh, my partner can't stay hard, or they can't, you know, they. They can't come. And I'm telling you, 99.9% of the time that men are having challenges around erection, around erection or ejaculation do have nothing to do with their partner. It has to do with them watching porn, perhaps has to do with sexual trauma. It has to do with their conditioning and their wiring. But I am certain that he is having sex with you, and that's all he can think about. And he's attracted to you, and he's been waiting 49 years for this moment. He just doesn't have the training down yet. So I'm telling you, it's not you. Yeah, I know this. And I'm not even there. Oh, good. That's why I'm here. No, it's not you. I wouldn't put pressure on him either, because also what happens is. And I. Before I knew I would do that as well, like, oh, you're not attracted to me. But then that makes them feel bad because it's so not true. Right? I mean, they're so attracted to you, and then that makes them feel worse. But then they get anxious and worried, and that makes it even worse. So if you can just be chill and say, I get it, it's okay. You'll come when you're ready. And don't, you know, apply additional pressure, because I've told you the truth here. I'm telling you. I know.

Yeah, yeah.

He might be more likely to come once he relaxes into it. But if this is an additional layer, like now she thinks I don't even like her, then we've got other problems. Yeah. All right, so just enjoy it. Have a good time. Get your needs met. All right. Thanks for calling. Appreciate you. You guys, listen. That is such an easy thing to happen and common that we are so concerned that our partner isn't responding to us in the way that we think they should, that it's confusing. And then we automatically blame ourselves and think we're doing something wrong. I tend to hear this from women more than men, but I know that when men do it as well. But women already start from a place of, like, sex is performative, and what can I do to get my partner off? And it's all about the men's orgasm and not my orgasm. And it must be because I gained weight or I don't look good. You know, I'm doing something wrong. It must be me why he can't ejaculate. You know, And I get it. That chain of thinking makes sense. But if we're talking about medically speaking, physiologically speaking, just not the truth.
