Mutual Masturbation 101: Tips to Make It More Intimate and Intense
If you’ve searched for “mutual masturbation,” you probably have the same questions. Is it just watching each other? How do we make it feel intimate and intense? And can toys make it even better? Here are the honest answers based on real experiences and expert advice.
What Is Mutual Masturbation?
Mutual masturbation is when partners pleasure themselves or each other together. It can be as simple as lying side-by-side watching and touching, or as connected as using hands and toys together. It reduces performance pressure, helps you learn exactly what your partner loves, and creates a deeper sense of intimacy.
How to Do Mutual Masturbation: Step-by-Step for Couples
- Start with open communication — tell your partner what feels good and what you want to try.
- Create a relaxed atmosphere: dim lights, soft music, plenty of lube.
- Choose your position: side-by-side, facing each other, or one on top of the other.
- Start slow — eye contact and light touching build anticipation.
- Incorporate toys when you’re ready — SVAKOM’s App-controlled collections even when you’re apart.
Key Benefits of Mutual Masturbation
Mutual masturbation isn’t just fun — it offers real, practical advantages that make it a favorite for many couples:
- Safety first — If you’re only engaging in solo-touch while watching each other, there is virtually no risk of pregnancy or STI transmission. Even when using hands or shared toys, the risk remains very low. For extra peace of mind, consider latex gloves or condoms on fingers and toys.
- Long-distance friendly — Perfect for couples who are apart or traveling. Simply hop on a video call and enjoy video intimacy that can get surprisingly intense. It works as both foreplay and the main experience.
- Flexible and pressure-free — It can be foreplay before penetrative sex, the main event when you’re tired after a long day, not in the mood for period sex, easing into intimacy with a new partner, or recovering after trauma. It’s also ideal when you just want to get off without full intercourse.
