What Is Humping Masturbation?
Alright darling, in case you don’t know what humping is, don’t worry, I got you!
Humping masturbation, also known as prone masturbation, is stimulating yourself by rubbing your genitals against a surface like a pillow, stuffed animal, or sex toy. Many people first discover humping masturbation as children by rubbing against furniture, blankets, or toys simply because it feels good.
As you get older, you can explore humping masturbation more intentionally for sexual pleasure and self-satisfaction. Using sex toys designed specifically for humping like hump pillows, hump stools, and hump cushions can help maximize pleasure.
Why Do People Do Humping Masturbation?
Well, humping is one of the easiest and most reliable ways to reach orgasm for many people. Here are sexy reasons why you should hump your way to orgasms:
Pleasure Galore
Humping masturbation allows you to explore your body and find what gets you going. Once you discover your sweet spots, you can stimulate them in just the right way to experience mind-blowing orgasms. For men, humping the bed or a pillow can put pressure on the perineum, increasing sensation. For women, grinding against a firm surface causes indirect clitoral stimulation, building arousal.
Discreet and Convenient
Humping allows you to masturbate discreetly since you’re simply grinding against an object. No loud buzzing vibrators to hide! if you don’t want to! You can hump a pillow, the arm of the couch, the edge of the bed, a balled-up blanket – whatever’s handy. Plus, you don’t have to remove your clothes! It’s a quick, convenient way to release some pent-up sexual tension.
Clitoral Stimulation
For most women, clit stimulation is key to orgasm. Female masturbation through humping provides direct stimulation to the clit as you grind against the surface of your choice. Start slowly, then experiment with different pressures, rhythms, and speeds to find what revs you up. The clitoris has over 8,000 nerve endings, so humping is a fantastic way to activate them all.
It Activates Your Pelvic Floor
As you hump your way to bliss, you’ll naturally flex your pelvic floor muscles. These contractions stimulate your clit from the inside, enhancing sensation. With regular humping, you can strengthen your pelvic floor over time. Stronger pelvic floor muscles mean better orgasms. Win-win!
Sex Toy Options
While dry humping without toys certainly has its pleasures, adding a vibrator into the mix can take the experience to the next level.
If you want to kick it up a notch, try a humping-specific sex toy like the Pillow Talk Sassy. This discreet toy slips over a pillow and provides ribbed and textured surfaces for humping. Some humpable wedges and cushions that give you the perfect angle and surface for grinding your way to bliss.
It Releases Feel-Good Hormones
Orgasm from any source floods your body with endorphins and oxytocin, the hormones responsible for that warm afterglow you feel post-climax. Humping is no exception. Release tension, relieve stress, and boost your mood in the process. What’s not to love?
Steps for Mesmerizing Humping Masturbation
Now that you know how sexy dry humping can be, it’s time to get down to business. Follow these steps to hump your way to orgasm:
1. Find the Right Surface
For some, a firm mattress works well. For others, a softer surface like a pillow, blanket, or plush rug provides better stimulation. Experiment to find what feels best for you.
For pillow humping, a firm pillow that doesn’t flatten easily under pressure is best. A foam pillow can work great and hold its shape. For hand humping, consider a textured glove or sleeve to make the experience more stimulating.
There are also humping sex toys made specifically for this type of masturbation that can take it to the next level.
2. Set the Mood
If you have time and access to private space, light some candles or turn on mood lighting. Play some of your favorite music. Read an erotic story. Do whatever helps you relax and feel sexy. Lubricant can also help, especially for hand humping. Apply it generously to your hands or toy.
3. Get into Position
Kneeling with your pillow or toy beneath you is a favorite position for many. You can also lie face down, straddling the pillow with your pelvis. Find what’s most comfortable for you. For hand humping, lying on your back with knees bent and feet flat on the bed gives you the most control and range of motion.
4. Get the Angle Right
Shifting your hips slightly to the left or right, or raising or lowering them, can increase or decrease pressure and stimulation. Rocking side to side as well as grinding up and down provides variation. Move in circles or a figure-eight motion. Start with subtle movements, then thrust harder and faster as your pleasure builds.
5. Start Slowly
Begin by gently rocking your hips, circling, and pressing into the pillow or your hands. As arousal builds up, increase the speed and pressure. Pay attention to what feels good for you. For extra stimulation, grind your clitoris or penis against the edge or corner of the pillow. Or in the case of hand humping for clit owners, have your hands focus on the clitoris.
6. Fantasize
Closing your eyes and imagining an erotic scenario can intensify the sensations. Picture a lover touching you, whispering dirty thoughts in your ear as you grind against them. The mind is the biggest sex organ, so put it to good use!
7. Change Angles
For extra stimulation, try angling your hips upward or to one side as you hump. A slight change in angle can make a big difference in how much pleasure you feel. You may need to adjust the position of your toy as well.
8. Use your Toy
If using a toy like a dildo, wedge it between your body and the surface you’re humping. The toy will add extra sensation as you grind against it. You can also hold a vibrator against your clitoris or frenulum as you hump for added pleasure.
9. Thrust Away
Once you find your rhythm, thrust to your heart’s content. Move your hips in circles or back and forth, increasing speed and pressure. Breathe heavily and moan loudly if it feels good – don’t hold back!
10. Keep Going
Don’t stop – keep humping steadily until you reach orgasm. If at any point the stimulation feels too intense, ease up or stop completely before starting again. Prolong your pleasure by humping at a moderate, sustainable pace. Your efforts will be well rewarded!
11. Enjoy the Aftershocks
After orgasm, your body may experience involuntary muscle spasms and hip thrusts. Enjoy these aftershocks and continue humping at your own pace as you come down from your high. Breathe deeply and relax in the moment.
12. Clean Up
While all of us would like the mesmerizing session and afterglow to linger on forever, we have to clean to get rid of any evidence that we had an electrifying solo session. That means cleaning up your hands, pillows, surfaces, bedding, and toys. If you used condoms, tissues, or wipes, ensure you dispose them properly.
Humping Masturbation Techniques and Tips for Maximum Pleasure
Let’s get down to the fun part, shall we? Once you’ve found the perfect spot and have your toys (or pillows) ready, try these techniques to make humping masturbation as pleasurable as possible.
Edge yourself
Bring yourself close to orgasm by humping vigorously then stop or slow down before climaxing. Repeat this start-and-stop pattern a few times before finally allowing yourself to orgasm. Edging helps build sensation so your ultimate release feels even more powerful.
Find your Rhythm
Move your hips in circles or slide forward and back—whatever feels good to you. Start slowly and build up speed and pressure as your arousal increases. Some people like to go fast and hard right away, while others prefer to start gently. There’s no “right” way, so take your time exploring what rhythms turn you on.
Use your Hands
Having your hands free means you can touch yourself at the same time. Play with your breasts or nipples, rub your clitoris, or penetrate yourself with your fingers. Combining humping with manual masturbation creates intense sensations.
Add Toys
While humping pillows or furniture is fun, a sex toy designed for grinding can take the experience to another level. Look for toys that vibrate, rotate, and provide targeted genital stimulation. Ride-on toys with dildos allow for internal stimulation at the same time. Toys open up a whole new world of possibilities for humping orgasms.
Switch It Up
Once you find a rhythm that pleases you, stick with it, but also try varying your speed, angle, and pressure. For example, make quicker, shorter thrusts followed by deeper, slower ones. Hand humping allows you to easily use different fingers and hand positions for a variety of sensations. If you started on your stomach, flip onto your back.
Straddle a pillow in a kneeling position or squat over a toy. Bend over furniture or the arm of a couch. The options are endless—move around until something makes you moan! Find new ways to keep things interesting and maximize your enjoyment.
Keep Practicing
Like any sexual act, humping masturbation takes practice to master. Be patient and keep at it to discover what you enjoy most. Over time, you’ll gain confidence in your technique, find the perfect positions and rhythms, and have mind-blowing orgasms from the friction and stimulation. With regular practice, humping can become one of your favorite ways to pleasure yourself.
Use Lubricant
Humping masturbation can cause friction that leads to irritation, especially for long sessions. Apply lubricant to your genitals and the surface you’re grinding on. Water-based lubricants are versatile and condom-compatible. Silicone-based lubricants last longer but can damage some surfaces. Lubricant will make the experience more pleasurable and help you reach orgasm faster.
With the right technique and a little experimentation, humping masturbation can be a quick, easy way to reach satisfying orgasms. Don’t be afraid to get creative— you’ll be humping your way to ecstasy in no time!
Best Sex Positions for Humping Masturbation
The beauty of humping masturbation is that you can do it just about anywhere and in any position that feels good to you. However, some positions may feel more pleasurable than others. Here are the best positions:
On Your Stomach
Laying face down on your stomach with your hands-free is a simple but stimulating position. Grind your pelvis into the bed, pillow, or sex toy of your choice. The pressure and friction on your clitoris can build quickly to an intense climax.
Sitting Up
If you prefer to be in an upright position, sit on the edge of the bed or in a chair with your feet planted on the floor. Gently rock and rotate your hips, grinding against the edge of the seat. The firmness provides satisfying stimulation. Lean back and grab the edge of the seat for support and leverage.
Kneeling
On your knees with your chest upright is a powerful position. You can kneel on the bed, floor, or corner of a piece of furniture. Grip the headboard or edge of the bed and rock your hips, grinding against the edge. Start slowly until you find your rhythm and pressure that feels right for you. The freedom of movement allows you to be in full control of the experience.
In the end, the best position is whatever feels most natural and pleasurable for you. Experiment with different options to discover what really revs you up. The possibilities are endless, so get creative and have fun with it! Humping your way to bliss can be a joyful journey of self-discovery.
Humping Toys and Accessories That Take Masturbation to the Next Level
When it comes to humping masturbation, toys can intensify your experience and take you to new heights of pleasure. Some of the best options for humping include:
When it comes to humping masturbation, toys and accessories can enhance your experience and take it to the next level. Here are some of the best options I recommend you add to your collection:
Bedding and Cushions
The simplest toys for humping are right under your nose—your blankets, and towels. Place them between your legs and grind against them. The softness and flexibility allow you to adjust the pressure and stimulation. For extra sensation, try a textured blanket or place a towel over the pillow. These are easy, accessible, and discreet since you already have them in your home.
I recommend liberator shapes like the Liberator Bonbon cushion toy mount because of its firmness designed to support your body during humping masturbation. They allow for deeper penetration and make it easy to stimulate yourself in different positions. The high-density foam provides comfortable support.
Stuffed Animals
Do you have a favorite stuffed animal? Their soft, plushy texture makes them ideal humping toys. Straddle your stuffed animal and grind against their furry body. The stuffing inside provides cushioning and clitoral stimulation. Make sure to choose a stuffed animal with a stable, weighted bottom so it doesn’t slide around too much. Remove the stuffing from the head for easier handling.
Sex Furniture
Purpose-built sex furniture like a sex glider, tantra chair, or liberator wedge provides an ideal shape and height for humping. These furniture allow for comfortable and ergonomic positions that hit just the right spot. While an investment, high-quality sex furniture will last for years and open you up to new pleasures.
Wedge Pillows
A wedge pillow is a must-have for humping masturbation. Its angled shape hits you in just the right spot, allowing for hands-free thrusting. Look for a firm pillow that’s machine washable. Liberator pillow make a highly-rated option.
Dildos
If you enjoy G-spot or P-spot penetration while humping, a dildo is ideal. Suction cup dildos can stick to hard surfaces so you can grind against them. Look for a dildo of average size and girth, around 6 inches, that’s made of silicone, glass, or stainless steel. Start with shallow thrusts to allow your body to get accustomed to the sensation.
Silicone dildos from brands like Utopia provide a realistic feel and are easy to clean.
Vibrators
A vibrator provides clitoral stimulation as you hump, intensifying your orgasm. Bullet or wand vibrators are great for humping as they provide strong vibrations over a broad area. Place the vibrator on your clitoris, labia, or perineum and grind against it using your preferred humping position. The vibrations, combined with the friction from humping, will send shivers of pleasure through your body.
Brands like LELO mia and We-Vibe make high-quality rechargeable bullets that will give you intense sensations.
Wand Massagers
A wand massager is ideal for humping masturbation as it features a large head that can stimulate a large area. The Hitachi Magic Wand is a popular option, or for cordless, rechargeable wands check out the LELO Smart Wand or We-Vibe Wand.
Kegel Balls
Kegel balls, like Luna Beads, can be inserted before humping masturbation to stimulate your pelvic floor muscles. The balls move around as you hump, creating pleasurable sensations. They also help strengthen your pelvic floor over time.
Lubricants
A good lubricant will allow for smooth humping motions and reduce friction. Water-based lubes are compatible with all toy materials and condoms. Look for a lube specifically for masturbation like LELO Personal Moisturizer.
Condoms
For penis owners, wearing a condom during masturbation makes clean-up very easy after sexual release. Condoms also allow you to use a wider range of toys since they can be put on dildos, vibrators, and other penetrative toys. Choose a high-quality condom like Trojan or Durex.
Conclusion
So there you have it, my darlings. With the right technique, toys, and a little practice, humping your way to orgasm can be a fun, exciting way to explore your sexuality and experience intense pleasure. Don’t be afraid to get creative, try new positions or use toys.
The key is finding what works for your body. Experiment, have fun with it, and don’t forget to breathe. Humping offers a hands-free path to mind-blowing Os if you’re willing to put in the work. Now get out there and start humping away! Happy humping darling!
