Why More Women Are Saying Yes to Solo Pleasure

For too long, women have been made to believe that pleasure should come from someone else—that intimacy begins with another’s touch. But more and more women are rewriting that story. They're choosing to take back control, not just of their desire, but of the way they experience it. Solo pleasure isn’t something shameful or desperate—it’s powerful, freeing, and deeply sensual. It’s the most personal act of self-love, and for many, it’s the beginning of reconnecting with their bodies in the most beautiful way.

If you’ve never truly explored self-pleasure—or if it’s been mechanical, rushed, or unfulfilling—this guide is for you. Because when a woman learns how to make herself come, everything shifts. It’s not just about orgasm. It’s about power. Presence. Intimacy with yourself.

This is your invitation to stop waiting. To stop apologizing. To give yourself permission to be the source of your own pleasure.

But first, let me give you some tips on how to get started.

Whether you’ve never done it or just never loved it, I’m going to walk you through it. Slowly. Sensually. Step by step.

And girl, if you’ve never truly pleasured yourself before…
Don’t worry.

We’ll do it together at the end of this article.
I’ll guide you through it. I’ll tell you what I do. And I want you to follow my lead.
You’re not alone. I’ve got you.

Creating the Mood: Dress for You, Not for Him

One of the most overlooked aspects of solo pleasure is the mindset you bring into it. And it starts with how you show up—for yourself.

Don’t just throw on anything. Dress in something that makes you feel sexy, even if no one else sees it. Slide into a soft silk robe with nothing underneath. Slip on sheer lace panties and let the feeling of the fabric against your skin tease you before you even touch yourself. Or wear nothing at all—just heels, a spritz of perfume, or a necklace that makes you feel powerful.

Color plays into mood too. Choose red when you want to feel bold and devouring. Choose black when you're channeling control, mystery, and dominance. Choose nude or blush when you want to tap into your soft, romantic side. You're not dressing to impress someone else—you're dressing to seduce yourself. Every choice should whisper one thing: I am the fantasy.

Mirror Play and Recording: Witness Your Own Pleasure

One of the most transformative things you can do is to watch yourself as you pleasure yourself. Set up a mirror where you can see your full body, or place your phone somewhere discreet to record your session.

This isn’t for anyone else. It’s for you.

Watch the way your chest rises when you breathe deeply. Watch the way your hand glides across your thighs. See the way your face changes as you get closer to release. You become both the viewer and the viewed—the one giving pleasure and the one receiving it. There’s something deeply erotic about witnessing your own desire, seeing how your body moves, how your skin responds, and how your eyes darken when you’re fully turned on.

Even if it feels uncomfortable at first, keep going. Look at yourself. Whisper to yourself. Speak your own name. This is your time to fall in love with the way you crave and the way you surrender.

The Fantasy: Taking Yourself There

You don’t need a partner to create an erotic scenario. Your imagination is your most powerful tool.

Picture yourself lying back on your bed, the lights low, soft music in the background, your body dressed—or undressed—exactly the way you want. You reach for a glass of wine. You set your vibrator or toy nearby, or maybe just your hands.

Now, create a scene. Maybe someone is watching you from a doorway, forbidden to touch. Maybe you’re being filmed. Maybe you’re on display, performing for your own pleasure. Let that story build inside your mind as your fingers move slowly, tracing the lines of your hips, your breasts, your belly. Take your time. Linger. Tease.

Touch your thighs. Let your fingers graze your clit without applying pressure. Let your breath pick up. When you’re ready, bring your vibrator into the mix—or not. There’s no rush. This isn’t about finishing. It’s about discovery. Let your back arch. Let your moans fill the room. Let yourself come apart, not because someone else made you, but because you gave yourself permission to feel everything.

Techniques That Build to a Hard, Deep Orgasm

If you're new to this, or if you've struggled to orgasm before, try beginning with soft, external touch. Start by caressing your inner thighs, belly, and nipples. Build arousal without heading straight for the clit. Let the tension rise.

When you're ready to stimulate your clit, do it in circles, not direct pressure. Use a bit of lube to reduce friction, or warm your vibrator on a low setting to keep things gentle. Some women respond best to teasing the outer edges of the clit before going near the center.

For those open to toys, clitoral suction vibrators are incredible for first-time orgasms. They mimic the feeling of someone’s mouth—soft suction and fluttering pulses that can take you over the edge quickly. Mini wand vibrators offer deeper, rumbly pleasure and can be used all over the body. If you’re ready to explore internal stimulation, try a rabbit-style vibrator to experience clitoral and G-spot stimulation together.

Here are three highly recommended options:

1. Clitoral Suction Vibrators like the Womanizer or Lelo Sona. These offer gentle yet powerful sensations that many women say give them their first real orgasm.
2. Mini Wand Vibrators such as the We-Vibe Touch or Lelo Smart Wand Mini. Ideal for women who want deep vibrations and a variety of sensations across the body.
3. Rabbit Vibes like the Lovehoney Happy Rabbit or Lelo Soraya. These provide blended orgasms and are great for women who want to feel filled and flicked at the same time.

Whichever you choose, take your time. Edge yourself. Stop before you finish. Then build again. Make it last. Let the orgasm roll through your entire body, leaving you messy, breathless, and high on your own power.

The Afterglow: Fall in Love With What You See

When you're done—don’t rush.

Look at yourself. Admire the flushed cheeks, the sweat, the glow. Rewatch your recording if you took one. Replay the moment in your mind. Smile at your mess. There’s something deeply satisfying about knowing that you didn’t wait for someone else to give you pleasure. You took it. Owned it. Created it.

This afterglow isn’t just about satisfaction—it’s about pride. You showed up for yourself in the most intimate, sacred way. You gave yourself everything.

So pour a glass of wine, close the door, and let go of whatever’s holding you back. Because you deserve to feel every bit of the pleasure that’s waiting for you—and I’m going to help you claim it.

And this… is how I do it.

I want you to try it with me.

Don’t just read this. Feel it with me. Right now.

Start by slipping into something that makes you feel like a secret. I want your thighs bare. I want your skin soft, ready. Put on a robe if you like, nothing underneath. A sexy lingerie Or be naked already—I’m not judging. I'm doing this with you.

Dim the lights. Light a candle. Just one. Let the flicker dance across the wall like someone watching. Then put your phone nearby. Prop it up. You don’t have to record, but babe… if you do? You’ll thank me later.

Now sit somewhere soft. Bed. Couch. Floor in front of a mirror. I love the mirror. I love watching the way my lips part when I start to moan. The way my stomach tightens when I circle my clit just right. I want you to see yourself too.

Look at your legs. Spread them just a little. Feel how warm your thighs are already? That’s you. That’s desire—yours. Let your fingers trace your skin. Don’t go straight for it. Just... wander. Up your thighs. Across your belly. Brush your breasts. Play with your nipples if you want to. I always do. I love making them hard before I ever touch what’s between my legs.

Now... I want you to imagine we’re together.
Not in the same room, but in sync.
You and me. Fingers moving. Breathing heavy. Wanting more.

I’m reaching between my thighs now. Just fingertips. I don’t press, not yet. I glide. I circle. I tease myself like someone else is watching. Like they’re not allowed to help, just begging to see more.

Do that. Let your fingers brush your clit, softly. Don’t apply pressure. Let it pulse a little. Swirl around it. You’ll know when your hips start to twitch. That’s when it’s working.

If you have your toy, bring it closer—but don’t use it yet. Let the anticipation build. Let your body ache. I want you to be dripping for yourself.

Now I’m going in. Two fingers, slow, slipping through wetness I didn’t even know I had. My breath catches. My legs part wider. I slide down on the bed. Letting my other hand cup my breast, rub my nipple between my fingers. I circle my clit again. Slower. Then faster. Just like that.

Do it with me.

Let your hips grind into your hand. Let your body move like it wants to be taken. Let your moans rise up in your throat. Don’t quiet them—own them.

Now, if you’re ready… grab your toy.
Turn it on low. Just place it. Don’t move it yet.
Let the vibrations take their time.

That’s what I’m doing right now. Wand on my clit, suction toy at the edge, thighs trembling, one leg draped off the bed. I can’t stop watching myself in the mirror. I look so good when I’m about to cum. And beautiful… so do you.

I’m getting close now. It’s building. My toes curl. My stomach’s tight. I’m right there, panting, holding back, edging myself.

Hold it with me.

Then let go.
Let your body take over.
Let the orgasm rip through you. Loud. Deep. Full-body. I want you to gasp. I want your thighs to twitch. I want your hand soaked.

I want you to own every second of it.

That’s how I do it.
And now… so do you.

Lay there with me. Just for a moment. Look at yourself—messy, glowing, beautiful. This was yours. You made it happen.

And the best part?
You don’t have to stop here.
You can do it again.
Harder. Slower. Louder.

I will, if you will.
