Am I the only one out there who masturbates with my legs crossed instead of spread?” has been the question I’ve been asking myself for years. I felt uncomfortable about my method of masturbation. It took me a while to start sharing this with my partners and realise there is nothing wrong with it.
The only reason why it felt odd is because porn demonstrates only the “legs-spread” masturbation. Later on, when I started reading more sex educational literature and explored OMGYes, I realised that my method, despite being rather rare (some stats say it’s only 3% of vulva owners who masturbate this way), is totally normal and just as pleasurable as any other techniques.
