Around eight years ago, I began my journey towards being more conscious about my masturbation and partnered sexual intimacy. I started taking local workshops, reading books and watching sex and Tantra education videos. An early theme that resonated with me was learning how to connect with myself, really see myself as a sexual being who was born from sex, and release any shame or guilt around expressing my sexuality. An exercise that was recommended was to self pleasure in front of a mirror-- to proudly display my masturbation to myself and even record it. This is one of my first experiments with the exercise. It has taken me some time to let go of my judgements of how I look and display by body during pleasure and you can see that I was MUCH more reserved than I am now. I love seeing how my cock size and loads have increased with the PENIS HEALTH exercises I have done over the years. Consistency has paid off! I highly encourage you to watch Masturbation Training Videos #1-5 as well as How To Stretch Your Cock and Hole. Make a date with YOU to masturbate for yourself in front of a mirror. Record it if you like! Its fun to see where you are and mark your progress towards your authentic expression of pleasure. This exercise is a huge help in becoming more confident with partners. As you become more accustomed to letting go for yourself you are then more comfortable letting go in front of others.
