Watching yourself during masturbation or sex in front of a mirror can spark a new emotional high. Interestingly, reflections can make the penis appear larger than it actually is, positively affecting how both men and women perceive themselves. If you haven’t tried masturbating or having sex in front of a mirror yet—give it a shot. Chances are, you’ll find yourself using this technique quite often.
Starting Off
Begin by using the mirror for solo masturbation. If you feel awkward about your body at first, position yourself so you can only see your face. Look into your eyes, moan, and move. Don’t be shy; gradually shift your focus to observing yourself and your actions as a whole while you pleasure yourself.
Leveling Up
Take masturbation to the next level by engaging in mutual masturbation with a partner. Use a mirror to enhance the experience. Preliminary practice can help reduce feelings of risk. For variety, consider using a small handheld mirror. This way, you can see penetration from all angles and perspectives.
Positive Effects of the Mirror
- Intense Arousal: The excitement peaks when you see yourself looking heated and desirable.
- Self-Discovery: You’ll undoubtedly learn a lot about how your body moves during masturbation and sex. Play around with this or focus on your movements.
- Body Acceptance: This technique can help combat body dissatisfaction. Move slowly and make an effort to stop criticizing and feeling ashamed of your reflection in the mirror.
