Happy National Masturbation Month, folks! May has been designated as a season of self-gratification since 1995, originally inspired by then-President Bill Clinton firing Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders for suggesting that masturbation be taught in sex education classes. San Francisco sex shop Good Vibrations proclaimed May as the month of masturbation in support of self-stimulating solidarity. To celebrate, each zodiac sign is paired with a specific masturbation technique, with the insights of award-winning adult filmmaker Erika Lust providing guidance that emphasizes inclusivity, equality, and the female gaze.
For Aries, this month is about putting on a show and exploring self-pleasure either in front of a partner or a mirror. Taurus individuals are encouraged to indulge in mutual masturbation as a form of communication and sexual self-awareness. Geminis are known for their versatility, which can be explored through solo, partnered, or group sexual experiences. Cancers are encouraged to act impulsively and embrace their desires in the moment, while Leos are advised to step back and let their partners take the lead in mutual pleasure.
Virgos, typically known for their practicality, are encouraged to explore new avenues of pleasure, such as incorporating food into their masturbation routine. Libras should focus on finding balance and connecting with themselves emotionally and sexually, while Scorpios are urged to explore new forms of voyeurism to connect with their bodies more intimately. Sagittarius individuals are advised to expand their boundaries through exploration, such as incorporating new toys or techniques, while Capricorns should try edging to prolong pleasure.
Aquarians are encouraged to participate in group masturbation experiences as a way of building community and exploring common causes. Pisces individuals are recommended to attend a sex party or orgy to tap into their imaginative and intuitive qualities.
