Tips to Make Solo Sex More Pleasurable

Written by: Nikolas K | Published on February 22, 2025

Whether you’re going through a dry spell or you’re simply not looking to be with anyone for a while, you still have needs. The answer to handling those needs instead of becoming a frazzled mess with bottled-up sexual tension? Solo sex.

Unfortunately, it tends to get a bit boring after a while, or it just doesn’t hit the same for many folks. If that sounds like you, here are some masturbation tips to make your solo fun time a lot more satisfying.

One of the biggest issues with solo sex is that you’re not obligated to care about someone else’s needs. So, you feel incentivized to get right down to the meat and potatoes to get your orgasm as fast as possible.

When you treat it like that, you miss out on all the buildup and sensualness that you get during good sex.

Take things slowly. Don’t go straight to the pattern and pace that is going to get you off as fast as possible. Explore different parts, tease yourself and different erogenous zones, and have fun with it. You’ll eventually get to the orgasm you’re looking for, but the journey there is just as important.

Another thing that you tend to miss out on with solo sex is the theater of it. Now, we’re not telling you to put on lingerie or dirty talk to yourself, but there are things that match the solo atmosphere.

You can always set the mood with dimmed lights or candles, play your favorite mood-inspiring music, etc.

It’s tempting to just start flicking your bean or cranking one out without a care in the world about the atmosphere, but spending a little time treating yourself can go a long way.

Slow down. We know that when you hear the word “supplement,” you think about a little blue pill that might make your heart explode. We’re not talking about that.

There are natural supplements that help gently boost libido without all the nasty side effects. If you’re a bit older or have something affecting your libido, a natural sex chocolate or similar product can give you a little boost.

This will help get you past any mental blocks or lack of interest, and some even boost your orgasm a bit.

Of course, you should always research any product you buy in this category carefully. There are some low-quality options out there.

If you don’t want to try one, maybe consider eating an aphrodisiac for dinner. These are foods that boost your libido and sex drive.

Eventually, your hand is going to get a bit boring. There’s no getting around it. Your hand simply can’t replicate the feeling that you’re looking for.

That’s where a sex toy comes in.

The sex toy market is vast, and you can find something to match your needs in just about every price range.

We recommend getting one that is automatic. Manual toys are going to do a great job every once in a while, but you are going to blow your mind when you spend a little more and get a toy that does all the work for you.

This goes beyond traditional vibrators, too. Here are some of the things you can find on today’s market.

No, we are not talking about the ugly balloon things that dominate pop culture. Sex dolls have come a long way, and they’re essentially rigid silicone mannequins. They look human and feel pretty close, and you can even order custom-made versions to perfectly match your ideal partner.

One thing to consider with these is that they are expensive. We don’t recommend spending a grand on one just because your Tinder date didn’t show up. However, if you’re looking to stay single for quite some time, this can help.

There are cheaper options that aren’t full dolls, too. These usually realistically mimic the pelvis of a person so that you can ride, thrust on, etc. They don’t cost as much, but they do look a bit odd since they’re essentially just a pelvis with fun bits you can play with.

When you have a high sex drive and don’t have to worry about someone else being in the mood, it’s tempting to go to pound town on yourself like a rabbit in heat.

Be a little more restrained.

Yes, it can be annoying, but when you abstain for a short bit, the experience is more intense from start to finish when you finally let yourself get some release.

You don’t even have to wait very long. Just restricting yourself from release for a day or two will greatly improve the experience. To make things even more exciting, try edging.

Edging is when you slowly work yourself up, but you don’t allow yourself to reach a climax. This builds your sex hormones up and increases sexual tension, and when you finally let yourself go, it can be pretty impressive.

Porn is an obvious option for visual stimulation, but did you know there are games that are essentially porn you control?

If you buy them from proper gaming platforms, these are fleshed-out, high-production-value games. It’s not scam nonsense like those flash games you get ads for. While you’re getting yourself excited, you choose different options, decide how the scene plays out, etc.

If you’re missing the real thing, you can get pretty close with this killer combo.

• VR headset
• Automatic sex toy

VR technology has come a long way, and you can make it feel like you’re in the porn you’re watching. When you pair it with an automated sex toy, it’s a pretty extreme experience.

This can be costly, but if you already have the stuff to do it because you’re a gamer or like VR apps, there’s no reason not to use it in your solo sex sessions.

It’s always great to have a partner for sex, but solo sex is just as valid, and it can definitely help when you’re not interested in all the things attached to a relationship.

Use these 8 tips, find some alone time, and experience just how far you can take your solo sex experience for toe-curling orgasms.
