However, it is important to recognize that, with your hands, with toys, in company or alone, it is completely normal and healthy. From a medical perspective, it has great physical and mental health benefits, and can be a safe and pleasurable way to explore one’s body and sexuality. For this reason, and within the framework of Masturbation Day, celebrated every May 7, Host Foundation y Buttman share some tips to take care of ourselves and enjoy (us):
– Wash your hands before and after touching your genitals.
– If you are going to use sex toys, clean them before and after each use. Always read the instructions on how to do it.
– As far as possible, avoid sharing toys. If you use them with another person, clean them and put a condom on them, so you avoid the transmission of sexually transmitted infections.
– Use water-based lubricants to prevent skin injuries or, in case of using a condom, prevent it from breaking.
– To avoid injuries or make them worse, do not use toys on inflamed, swollen or broken skin areas.
– If you are going to use toys to stimulate anally, look for the tip to be “blunt” so that the dilation is progressive. And that it always has a stop since the anus sucks, unlike the vagina that can expel it.
