Feels better than the real thing.
By Hayley Park — Written on Dec 15, 2017
I have a dirty little secret: Sometimes, pillow-humping leaves me in an orgasmic bliss that feels better than real sex itself.
I remember how I had my first orgasm using a pillow during masturbation. I was secretly reading a dirty novel in my room when I reached out for a pillow (don’t ask me why) when I started feeling tingly and warm "down there." I started rubbing myself against the pillow for a long time and was rewarded with the greatest pleasure of my life.
Needless to say, I have been hooked on it ever since. Whenever I feel that my sex toy isn't working its magic on me, masturbating on my pillow is how to have an orgasm that makes my toes curl. Here are some masturbation tips for achieving an incredible solo-orgasm... with your pillow.
1. Choose the right pillow.
I prefer pillows that are long and stiff as they are shaped more like a "body." Experiment with different kinds of pillows until you find out which pleasures you enjoy the most. Pillows aren’t the only option and this is the time when that stuffed toy you've had since you were six can come in handy.
You can straddle a teddy bear so that it’s rubbing against your clitoris. The bigger the stuffed toy is, the faster you will reach an orgasm.
2. Get in the mood.
Do what turns you on. It could be reading that erotic novel you hide under your bed, watching movies that get you all hot and bothered, or simply replaying the hottest make out session you've ever had.
Never underestimate the importance of setting the right mood to achieve a satisfying orgasm. Make sure you have a comfortable and private zone to masturbate in. Nothing is more frustrating than being interrupted when you are on the brink of orgasm.
3. Dress sexy for yourself.
Nothing gets me off faster than the idea of humping a pillow in lacy, sexy underwear. I prefer humping while wearing just underwear as I find the extra friction from it intensifies the pleasure.
You can also hump your pillow without wearing anything at all if that’s what you prefer. Doing this naked allows you to rub your whole body against the pillow and makes the experience more realistic and pleasurable.
4. Try edging.
If you have not heard of the edging technique, you have got to try it. I hump my pillow until I'm about to orgasm, but I stop for a few minutes. It’s torture when you just start to practice edging as it is so easy to give into a quick orgasm.
But if you are able to have good self-control (and with lots of practice), it is extremely pleasurable at the end.
5. Change your speed.
Start out by humping slowly. Once you are more aroused, increase the speed and make some noise or do whatever it is that turns you on. When you feel yourself starting to orgasm, gradually slow down to feel and enjoy the peak. Trust me, this will give you an orgasm so good that you can’t wait for the second round.
6. Learn from the experts.
If you have just started to try this type of masturbation and can’t achieve an orgasm, watch a few videos online to learn the different positions available and tricks that you can use. You can also watch a video and mimic the pillow-humping step-by-step.
7. Do it with a full bladder.
Through my experience and from reading forums, it is easier to understand how to have an orgasm if you hump with a full bladder. The increased internal pressure heightens sexual sensations that guarantee an intense orgasmic experience. (However, I would not encourage edging with a full bladder as it is more difficult to control your orgasm.)
8. Enjoy the second wave of pleasure.
Ever since I started pillow-humping, I realized that I could achieve a second orgasm a few seconds right after the first one. I like to call it the "second wave of pleasure."
After the first orgasm, wait about 15-20 seconds before you ride your pillow again. Keep going until you feel it coming and you should experience the second orgasm. The second mini-orgasm is short-lived, but VERY intense.
