How to Feel Comfortable Pleasuring Yourself
Although my upbringing was VERY unique, most of the population didn’t grow up with a pleasure positive mom like mine, nor are you normally presented with a “how-to” guide for solo play.
This my butterflies, is because of SHAME, an insidious creature that has been lurking throughout our societal beliefs for centuries. But guess what? Touching yourself is one of the juiciest, cleanest, healing, most comforting things you can do for yourself.
At the Pleasure Oasis, we provide the tools to help you flip the script: think curiosity over judgment, giggles over guilt, and pleasure as your birthright.
How Do Journal Prompts Help?: Journal prompts can help you unpack old beliefs, find your comfort zone, and turn self-touch into an act of celebration.
Journaling Tips:
Grab your favorite notebook and pen
Create a safe and quiet space for you to write and reflect (feel free to bring a glass of water or light a candle or maybe even both!)
For gentle healing: pick one journal prompt a day
For a deeper healing: reflect and answer all 11 journal prompts (whether in one day or within a weeks span)
Your Journal Prompts For Helping You Learn How to Feel Comfortable Pleasuring Yourself:
When I think about touching myself, what old stories or beliefs come up and do they truly belong to me?
If I imagined self pleasure as an act of self-care (like a bubble bath or face mask), how would that shift how I feel about it?
What parts of my body feel easiest to love and explore during self-pleasure, and which parts feel more tender or shy?
How would I describe the difference between “just getting off” and truly connecting with myself through self pleasure?
What feelings (guilt, joy, curiosity, shame, excitement) come up when I picture myself exploring my body?
If I could design the most comfortable environment for self-pleasure, what would it look, smell, sound, and feel like?
When was the first time I learned about self pleasure, and how did that memory shape how I view it today?
How do I want to feel about myself emotionally, spiritually, and physically after I pleasure myself?
If I could talk to a younger version of me about self pleasure, what would I want her to know about safety, joy, and love?
What would it mean to me to see self pleasure not as something “naughty” but as a powerful way to know and honor myself?
How can I incorporate a more healthy practice of self pleasure into my life now?
If these prompts stirred something inside you… if you felt a soft awakening, a remembering or maybe a curiosity blooming in your body, I promise you this is just the beginning.
