Solo pleasure looks different for everyone, and there isn’t one “right” way to approach it. I’m curious…

I believe mine has definitely changed from when I was younger from outward desires of others to inward pleasure experiences… for example you solo pleasure bingo card … many of those was about the thrill or pleasure it created inwardly if that makes sense

I will say one change is adding a reason why in the last year or so. Maintain sexual function and pelvic floor health. “You don’t use it you lose it” seems to have never been more true. I have learned so much in the last 20 months or so since I joined Dr Susie’s Patreon and been having more informed conversations with my Urologist and Hormone Replacement doctor.

Oh how things change as we age. Once upon a time it was first thing in the morning and last thing at night sprinkled with opportunities in between especially on either stressful or boring days. Now at this age, on the rare occasions that there is morning wood, I'll try to enjoy the short moment until it falters and I give up. I rarely make it to the finish line solo. Enjoy it while you can guys.

Use it or lose it !!!!! When I was young masturbation was for stress relief and pleasure, although I usually felt guilty. Now, at age 78, it is all about penile rehab AND pleasure with no guilt.

Is there a submit button for the poll?

Masturbation is sexually pleasurable, but in a different way than sex with a partner. For me, both are important.

Eric Hegeman

There is a very important reason that's missing from that list, and it's just simply showing yourself love

I have the same issue as PF23, mine was caused by taking propecia

My relationship with solo play has changed only in that my erections are less rigid than my younger days, and can also wax and wane more than they used to. Also, arousal can often take longer, so I need more time for solo play. I guess the focus has changed some too, from purely seeking pleasure to also working on arousal and blood flow. I have to be aware though that the main reason for masturbation for me is to enjoy pleasurable sensations and not get too caught up in the mechanics of it.

There are Health benefits of regular ejaculations esp. Those who are not sexually active with a partner

Dr. Susie Gronski - Doctor of Physical Therapy

I appreciate you sharing your experience with us, Steve. From what I gather from the other members’ comments, others share similar sentiments. What I’m hearing is mental flexibility, adaptability, and reframing sexuality to fit the here and now, rather than avoiding it or harboring resentment, shame, or anger when our bodies or circumstances change.

Dr. Susie Gronski - Doctor of Physical Therapy

Gosh, I’m really sorry to hear this, Bob. Finasteride (Propecia) has been getting a lot of flack in the media, including from some urologists, because of its potential negative sexual side effects.

Dr. Susie Gronski - Doctor of Physical Therapy

Oh, how things change indeed! I appreciate you sharing this, Darrell. There can be a lot of adjustment and reframing around sexuality as our bodies change with age. Finding ways to enjoy what feels good now, rather than comparing it to what our bodies used to do, is a journey in itself.

Dr. Susie Gronski - Doctor of Physical Therapy

I love that you added the “why” behind it, Michael. And I’m happy this community has helped you have more informed conversations with your urologist and hormone doctor. That’s exactly what I hope you guys take away from being here ❤️

Steve J

Thank you for this topic and survey. I think masturbation should be talked about much more openly, for a number of reasons. It’s a normal part of human sexuality, and yet there is so much shame associated with it.

I think my penis is desensitized from the years of self care. Any info or audio to help me achieve a touch free orgasm to kind of reset my sensitivity?

Dr. Susie Gronski - Doctor of Physical Therapy

I’m not entirely sure about training yourself to achieve touch-free orgasms, as touch is an important sensory component that facilitates communication between the nervous system, genitals, and brain. That said, orgasms without direct genital stimulation are possible. Since orgasm is ultimately a brain-driven experience, I suppose that with enough practice, some people may be able to develop this ability through mental arousal, imagery, and heightened body awareness. However, I wouldn’t assume this is something everyone can train themselves to achieve.

Michael S

Thanks Dr Susie! Yeah just want to have more sensation or revert back to the ease it once was. From edging to just my sessions getting longer and longer or ability to stay erect, it’s almost a chore and that’s not what I want. Would you recommend a break from solo play?
