Solo Play Tip: Slow it down to feel more!

Most guys were never taught how to actually feel during solo play. It often turns into a race to the finish line.

Try this instead:

Next time you’re on your own, slow things waaaayyy down. Start with lighter touch. Notice temperature, pressure, and sensation across different areas, not just the penis. Think inner thighs, lower belly, perineum. Let curiosity lead.

If your body tends to tense up, especially in the pelvic floor, experiment with softening your breath and letting your belly expand. Your pelvic floor often follows your breath, so less gripping can mean more sensation and less strain.

You can even pause stimulation completely and just notice what’s happening in your body. Arousal doesn’t disappear. It shifts, builds, and sometimes gets more interesting when you give it space.

Solo play isn’t just about release. It’s a chance to build awareness, reduce tension, and create more enjoyable, varied sensations over time.

How do you relax yourself and switch off during solo play? Let me know your thoughts in the comments.

For me it's about turning my brain off, focusing on sensations as if it was brand new.

I tried having mindfulness for this activity, and I found slowing down screwed with the Cannon fire and usually caused a misfire

I was actually looking for something very similar to this. I've had orgasm by massaging my testicles, massaging my perineum. They all felt different. I've never orgasmed by massaging my anus or my prostate. The prostate is one I'm really hoping to learn. Do pelvic floor physical therapists help with that?

Dr. Susie Gronski - Doctor of Physical Therapy

This is a great question, Anthony. Pelvic floor therapists generally would not provide prostate massage for sexual gratification. But if you’re wanting to better understand where the prostate is located, how to safely explore with a wand or toy, or how to support a partner in learning about prostate touch safely and comfortably, some pelvic therapists may be more open to those conversations and educational guidance, especially those of us with additional sexual health training, certifications, and experience working with people who have prostates. That said, it’s definitely not something that should be expected from every pelvic therapist. Comfort level, scope, communication, boundaries, and clinical intention all matter in these situations.

I didn't mean the therapist would massage for gratification! Sorry it was worded poorly!
