Over the course of the month of May (which is official masturbation month) Audiosmut contemplated and conversed on the topic of solo sex. Making love to ourselves is a crucial element of knowing our bodies and what we like—not to mention it relieves stress, improves blood circulation, helps us sleep better, low risk of contracting STIs (still gotta make sure you clean your toys and think twice about what you use to get off), it’s a great work break, the list goes on and on and on.
This month’s show featured some anecdotes involving masturbatory adventures: childhood memories of those first masturbatory discoveries, masturbating brothers, mutual masturbation, and public masturbators who seem to have no respect for people’s space. [There's a fine line between the thrilling experience of getting off beyond the bedroom, and slightly traumatizing acts of masturbatory harrassment.]
LESSONS FROM JOYTOYZ - The queen of masturbation tools *Phuong Ly* tells us about her treasures
1) No need for crazy multi-purpose vibrators with 8 thousand functions and a built in flashlight….go with something simple.
2) Masturbation is a really important part of your sex life: if you expect someone else to make you come you should know how to do it yourself!
3) Vibrators are awesome (and there’s a vibrator to suit the needs of the most diverse sexual tastes to be sure) but nothing beats old fashioned finger fucking! Touching yourself with your own hand can be doubly rewarding: you’re feeling sensations on both ends!
In our interview we hear Phuong describing some masturbatory masterpieces…a simple vibrator, the legendary BUTTERFLY (handsfree vibes!), a handsfree and PORTABLE (you can wear it through the workday) bullets, hand crafted glass dildos , and revolutionary male masturbation toy called Lip Service. Mmm.
This video features Phuong herself, the lip service, and the amazing glass dildo!
Britt tracked down Mary Roach, an author/journalist who reveals to us the wiles of science in plain and unbelievably interesting terms. Her latest book, BONK, features her research on an outrageous variety of scientific experiments done on sex and sexuality. In Britt’s conversation with Mary Roach we hear about people who think themselves to orgasm, people who orgasm from stimulation beyond your typical erogenous zone, and all the unexpected things people penetrate themselves with.
This is a clip on her book, in the interview we focused on solo sex
