If you aren’t masturbating, you better start! Self-pleasure not only gives you what you need (literally), but it also teaches you what does or doesn’t hit the spot. And guess what, ladies? There are multiple ways to masturbate. The masturbation style that you prefer depends on your personality and sexual turn-ons, and it also says a whole lot about you.
Wondering what your masturbation style is? Didn’t even know you had one? Here are 6 ways to fondle yourself and what it says about you.
6 Masturbation Styles and What They Say About You
The Teaser
“This style usually consists of the woman playing only with a finger or two with the clitoris,” said Taylor Henry, a sexual health expert. You play with yourself just enough and don’t need gadgets or swings to get off. In fact, your fingers hit your money spot (the clit) almost every time. You’ve clearly mastered masturbating. And you “get the most out of it with minimal effort.”

The Meditator
Had a long and stressful day? Meditators choose to masturbate to feel relief. If you are a Meditator, self-pleasure is your savior. You jump straight to it if anyone (or anything) gets on your nerves. Typical Type A personalities, “meditators know what they want [and] when they need it and are straightforward about it,” Henry expanded. “If either before bedtime or to start a day off, meditators find 5 minutes of heaven and bliss right at their fingertips.”
The Daydreamer
Perhaps the most popular of all styles, Daydreamers have a name for their sex toys and private parts. Probably because they want an intimate connection and to feel like B.O.B. (Battery Operated Boyfriend (paid link)) is real. As they close their eyes and grab B.O.B., they usually fantasize about someone special.
The Quickie
Some women are masturbation pros. In 2-3 minutes tops, they’ve reached climax.
“If she masturbates rapidly, she is all about immediate pleasure and would most likely enjoy a quickie,” Eric Marlowe Garrison, sexologist and author of Mastering Multiple Position Sex, explained.
The Romantic
Much like The Daydreamer, The Romantic uses her imagination to get off. For her, masturbating is an affair to remember. It’s lovemaking, darlings. So, “she masturbates in a bathtub or takes time to set the stage in her room (with lights, sheets, music or porn),” Garrison said. A woman who treats self-pleasure like lovemaking is often just as romantic and emotional when sexually intimate with a partner.
The Adventurer
Last but not least, is the adventurer. The woman who will try every sex toy (paid link) on the market for her satisfaction. She’s the person who attaches a toy to a wall or footboard.
As for what that says about their personality, Adventurers love to explore every aspect of sex and they “put their whole body into it,” Garrison said. “They want their hands free to explore or to mimic something that resembles the sex they'd like to be having physically.” In other words, The Adventurer is a freak.
