Tips for a pleasurable porn viewing experience
Now that you know what and how to watch, let’s dive into a few tips to make your viewing experience as titillating as it can be.
Create an environment tailored to your pleasure
Sex is better when you set the mood. Create a space that feels pleasurable. This might look like tidying up your room and putting clean linens on your bed, lighting candles or plugging in string lights, having lube and toys set out, or putting on music. You can also slip into some sexy lingerie, take your clothes completely off, or wear soft, comfortable, cozy attire.
Check in with yourself before watching
Sometimes, when we’re having solo sex, we forget to treat ourselves with the same love and attention we might give to a partner during sex. Before you watch, take a moment to check in with yourself. How are you feeling? What do you need? How can you make this experience meaningful and sexy for yourself? Consider giving yourself a little sensual massage, taking a few deep breaths, or try an afterglow exercise to help ground yourself.
Consider watching with a partner
Did you know research shows that watching porn is correlated with greater arousal and sexual responsiveness? According to this study, women who watch porn report improved communication about sex with their partner and higher quality and more frequent sex.
Share your quiz results with your partner and see if they’d be interested in a movie night. 😉
Keep an open mind about porn and sexuality preferences
Sexual exploration is a lifelong journey, and a quiz like this one is only the tip of the iceberg. As you explore your sexuality throughout your life, and as you learn more about yourself, your porn and sexuality preferences might change or expand. No matter what turns you on, your pleasure is yours to explore.
