Intensify your pleasure thanks to shallowing

While by no means obligatory, orgasm is a delightful part of your sexuality. However, traditional penetration with its deep thrusting isn't always the best way to reach climax, and it's not necessarily suitable for everyone.

Long misunderstood, female anatomy is gradually revealing its magic. At Puissante, we love sharing the keys to a sexual well-being that reflects who you are and helps you flourish. That's why today we're introducing you to the practice of shallowing , a way to masturbate differently and amplify your pleasure. 

Shallowing: a focus on the vaginal opening

Derived from the English word "shallow" (surface), shallowing is a great method to boost your pleasure during masturbation . It consists of stimulating the entrance of the vagina using a series of movements and pressures that gradually increase sensitivity, and therefore, arousal.

According to the Pleasure Report published by the OMGYes brand in April 2021, 70% of women surveyed observed that this technique improved their experience of penetration . Why? Because they were better lubricated , better prepared, and more aroused.

The vaginal opening contains 90% of the nerve endings in the genital organ, according to Cécile Gasnault of the Vulva Talks podcast . That's quite something!

You may have already experienced that thrill of pleasure when your partner is about to penetrate you for the first time with their fingers or a vibrator. or a penis. This moment of pre-penetration raises the temperature a notch. Got it?

That's exactly the feeling you're looking for with shallowing . Now, let's get practicing!

Shallowing in practice

As always, make sure to wash your hands before starting (hygiene first ) and opt for a safe and suitable lubricant .

Next, find a comfortable position. Lying on your sofa or in bed is a good starting point if you're trying shallowing for the first time.

Are you all in position? Let's begin a pressure and release exercise .

Place your index and middle fingers on either side of the vaginal opening and gently press downwards. Maintain this pressure for a few seconds, then release and repeat the movement several times. You can also rotate your hand around the vaginal opening to stimulate the area in different ways.

Explore different pressures and other techniques to find what works best for you. Stay curious and take your time. The vaginal opening is a fantastic erogenous zone to explore, often overlooked by women.

Like a mindfulness exercise ultra- hot , focus on staying concentrated on the sensations and let yourself go to the pleasure.

If you experience pain or discomfort, there's no need to continue. We offer other ways to enjoymasturbation in the next paragraph.

Other techniques to masturbate differently

The pairing

Pairing is the winning combination where the vagina and clitoris experience pleasure in unison . Specifically, you or your partner stimulates your clitoris with a finger, their tongue, or a vibrator simultaneously with penetration.

To take things further, you can explore a multitude of erogenous zones simultaneously using accessories. The mouth, nipples , neck, and anus are other areas of your body that can help intensify your pleasure.

The rocking

Here, we're not talking about pebbles, but rather back-and-forth movements . Alone or with a partner, rocking stimulates the nerve endings of the clitoris , both internally and externally.

The base of a penis or toy constantly rubs against the clitoris during penetration, remaining completely inside the vagina rather than going in and out.

Angling

The latest method favored by women is angling . As the name suggests, it involves rotating, lifting or lowering the pelvis during penetration to adjust the spot where the sex toy or penis rubs inside the vagina.

You are in control of your pleasure; feel free to explore your sensations by tilting your hips backward or arching them. It's a great technique to feel good and excite your partner. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed.

Discovering new ways to masturbate allows you to reclaim your pleasure. Shallowing , like rocking , angling , or pairing, helps you break free from the pressure of uniform penetration and create your own definition of arousal .
