What is prone masturbation?

Prone masturbation is a type of masturbation where individuals lie face down and hump or rub against an object, such as a mattress or pillow, to achieve sexual pleasure. This method of masturbation is often associated with men, but can also be practiced by women.

Prone masturbation may be more physically stimulating for some individuals due to the pressure and friction against sensitive areas. However, this method can lead to desensitization of the genitals and difficulty achieving orgasm through other means.

There are potential health risks associated with prone masturbation, such as erectile dysfunction, delayed ejaculation, and difficulty achieving orgasm during partnered sexual activities. In some cases, individuals may also experience genital numbness or pain.

If someone is experiencing negative effects from prone masturbation, it is important to seek help from a healthcare provider or a therapist specializing in sexual health. They can provide guidance and support to help individuals explore healthier and more fulfilling forms of sexual expression.
