Get my guide – The 5 C’s of Self-Pleasure
Fifty Shades of Grey the movie is about to drop. It’s gonna be interesting! Regardless of the quality of the film, anything that helps women get in touch with their pleasure and turns them on is fantastic.
If you find yourself hormonally imbalanced plus busy, and therefore relying on your vibrator to get the job done fast, so to speak, you may be robbing your body of a key hormone balancing opportunity.
Doing self-pleasure correctly, however, will restore regular cycles, clear your skin and create an overall healthier hormonal balance.

Here’s the deal – the problem with vibrators is that they bypass the plateau phase of orgasm.
The plateau or orgasmic phase is the continuation of your initial arousal, before you climax. The longer the plateau the more nitric oxide and oxytocin your body produces. This has healing benefits for the whole endocrine system and advantages include a more regular cycle, clearer skin and increased immunity. Here I share more about how getting hot and heavy is good for your health.
A vibrator sends you quickly to climax, sure, but you’re missing out on a lot of the goodness of a full orgasmic experience. You also might find you have that “fried” feeling afterwards, meaning you can’t hope for multiple orgasms, and who doesn’t hope for those?!
Sexy Brain
It can seem daunting to give up the buzz. You turn the device on and then immediately turn yourself on. When you commit to going device free, you have got to use your brain a bit to get the party started.
Reading erotica is a wonderful way for women to get in the mood and warm themselves up to receiving accessory-free pleasure. Take a wander around Literotica.com where you can find free fantasy tales of all different genres. You may even find your new Fifty Shades-style favorite there!
Feeding your Orgasm
If you’ve been having trouble reaching climax or wanting to even try, you’ll first need to rebalance your progesterone, estrogen and testosterone levels. This will help to get all the neurochemicals involved in your arousal buzzing.
The best way to do this is with food – healthy fats like avocados, nuts and seeds especially – plus a daily supplement of vitamin C with bioflavonoids and ashwagandha. Read more about my eating strategies for improving your sex drive here.

Investigate some new strategies from some sexperts! Three favorites on my bookshelf:

If you really don’t want to part with your toys, try only using something right towards the end of your orgasmic plateau.
Make sure, though, that it’s BPA and chemical-free, and that your lubricant is something natural like, Aloecadabra, because who wants to put liquid plastic (in most other popular lubes) on their lady parts! Plus, make sure to take advantage of 20% your next Aloecadabra purchase by using the code FLOliving20 at checkout.
So, with all that said, here’s my step by step guide,
The 5 C’s of self-pleasure:
Getting handy gives you way more hormonal bang for your pleasure! Start with 30 minutes once a week and build from there.
- Center – Do what you need to do to feel calm and centered – light candles, draw a hot bath, change to fresh sheets on the bed, play music…whatever you like.
- Circle – avoid your nipples, areolae and clitoris for the first fifteen minutes. Stimulate your inner thighs, hips, inner
arms, abdomen and upper chest with your hands. - Clitoris – Use Aloecadabra on your clitoris. Take time to experience the plateau phase and create a building orgasmic sensation instead of focusing on the climax. Stimulate your inner labia and areas around clitoris to see what works for you.
- Climax – When you feel you’re ready to climax, use your hands, or, this is the time to take out the vibrator and set it to the very lowest setting.
- Calm – Be sure to allow yourself a proper resolution phase. This means staying still and quiet for a few minutes after climax. Relax and put one hand on your heart and the other on your belly. Breathe and just be with yourself for a while to soak in all those sensations.

Part of the reason I have relied on a vibrator for so long is the concern of getting an infection from my nails. Whether from unnoticed dirt, nail polish or a scratch. Thoughts?
Vaginae are a lil tougher than you think. Also, washing your hands beforehand takes care of any risk of bacteria. But really, a vagina can handle basic unwashed hands, as long as those hands haven’t been gardening, cleaning the catbox, or handling raw meats! If you’re worried about scratches – cut your nails. Simple as that. (Also, go easy!)
My wife just had our son a month ago. And I can’t get her excited over anything. Sex isn’t everything. But I want it in my relationships. But she’s so not her self that’s it’s causing me depressing cause I think I’m not wanted. What should I do so I can save our relationship
Hi Colten,
Please reach out to local practitioners and counselors that help the partners in these types of situations. Your wife’s hormones are currently all over the place and she will likely not feel like she did before baby. This should be temporary, but there is no set date for when women start to feel more balanced out – it is a process. If you are concerned about her state of wellness, please make sure that she gets seen by an obgyn and maybe a postpartum counselor. There is so much changing for you guys right now and it’s a lot to take in, hang in there!

That makes such perfect logical sense. Its so true! I’ve always wondered about that, and this really resonated with me. Thanks. Ill pass on the buzz 😉
Thanks fr suggestions.
I ditched the vibrator as i struggled to orgasm with it, its so unnatural to me, i agree with hands all the way.
How can i make more arousal and regular orgasm?
What’s missing completely here is the love of a partner! Yes, going solo is great and necessary to stay safe, but giving myself foreplay? Are you joking? Foreplay is me and my guy, not my own predictable hands. Add love and affection here! You make an orgasm sound like turning on stove!Ugh..
Staying SANE, not safe.
Turning on the stove.
I’m a sexy 69 year-old, many lovers in my life. I prefer partners for lovemaking and I feel partners should be emphasized, not eliminated. We need more sensual touching in this country, not more going it alone! Girls are already too marginalized, too lonely, too separated, and you are saying its all ok, just go solo! Sexual energy between 2 people is the best it gets…solo is only the filler when that’s not available. Love Not War!
