Benefits and methods of 'virtual mutual masturbation' using video calls

Mashable, an international news media outlet, explained the benefits and how to practice ' mutual

masturbation ,' which involves using video chat apps such as FaceTime to show each other how to masturbate.

Mashable's 'mutual masturbation' is when you masturbate in front of your partner and show it to them. Regarding sexual acts between men and women, there is a gender disparity in that 'women are less likely to experience orgasm during sex than men,' but in order to eliminate this disparity, Mashable claims that it is helpful to show your partner what kind of stimulation leads to pleasure during mutual masturbation.

However, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, it has become increasingly difficult to meet and eat during the day, let alone masturbate together. So Mashable is proposing a new idea: 'virtual mutual masturbation,' where people show each other their masturbation over the Internet.

Justin Lehmiller, a sexuality and gender researcher at the Kinsey Institute at Indiana University, explains the benefits of virtual mutual masturbation as 'a useful instructional video to help your partner learn what you like and how you stimulate them.'

It also has the effect of preventing boredom and enriching your sex life. Taylor Sparks, founder of adult goods manufacturer Organic Loven , told Mashable, 'Virtual mutual masturbation allows you to be both an exhibitionist and a voyeur, so it's perfect for when you want to expand your repertoire of new sex.'

Even though there are benefits like the ones mentioned above, it is true that it is difficult to suddenly suggest 'let's show each other masturbation.' So Sparks suggested, 'If your partner is concerned about privacy, you can decide not to record without consent, or if you are embarrassed about being seen, the one who is willing to start by having the other person watch you masturbate.'

In addition, according to

Kenneth Play , who works on movies about sex techniques, pacing is as important as sex when starting mutual masturbation. For example, it is effective to start with sexting , where you send sexual messages and photos to each other, or to watch adult live broadcasts together to get into the mood and explore each other's preferences.

After successfully getting to virtual mutual masturbation, you need to set up the equipment. The location Play recommends for virtual mutual masturbation is the 'bed.' You can start right away by placing a laptop with a webcam on the bed, and if necessary, you can put a pillow under the PC to angle it, or have the person lean their body against the wall next to the bed. Also, if you use a smartphone, you can use a tripod or stack books and prop the smartphone up on them. Furthermore, if you want a more provocative angle, it seems that you can also place your smartphone on the bed and kneel on it.

To create the right atmosphere, you need to pay attention not only to the camera angle but also to the lighting and audio. According to Play, red light emphasizes skin tones, so it is effective to use red lights for lighting. Play also advised that it is better to use wireless microphones and earphones so as not to interfere with the movement.

When asked about the most important thing when engaging in virtual mutual masturbation, Sparks emphasized that 'mutual consent, safety, and peace of mind are paramount.' Check to see if your partner's facial expression is stiff or their movements are awkward, and make sure they are 'enjoying it from the bottom of their heart.' If they show any signs of reluctance, you should stop and discuss the situation.
