How to Massage a Penis: Best Handjob Ever

Written by Beducated Magazine

It’s time to appreciate one of the most underrated forms of the humble yet mighty handjob; the penis massage

When you think of a handjob, the first thing that comes to mind is probably the standard up-and-down stroking motion. Sure, some of the finest handjobs in history were done using this method, but over time, they can get kind of… meh. So if you’re limiting yourself to strokes alone, you are robbing your partner(s) and yourself of a lot of fun.

Strokes are just one of two ways to give a handjob. The second, lesser-known, and criminally underrated handjob method is penis massage.

What is a Penis Massage? 

A penis massage is a unique and intimate practice that goes beyond the traditional concept of a handjob.

The fundamental difference between a standard handjob, often characterized by linear strokes, and a penis massage lies in the technique and intention.
Strokes typically involve a straightforward, linear motion along the length of the penis, with the primary goal often being to induce an orgasm.

This approach, while effective, can sometimes reduce the act to a means to an end, focusing solely on the climax rather than the journey to get there.

The Spiritual Roots of Penis Massage

Penis massage is by no means a new concept. It’s rooted in the Lingam Massage—a type of tantric penis massage.

Tantra, an esoteric yogic tradition that originated in ancient India, sees the Lingam as a means to explore both the spiritual and sexual self. Lingam is the Sanskrit word for ‘sign’ or ‘symbol.’ In Hinduism, it represents the God Shiva and symbolizes generative energy.

Thus a Lingam massage is seen not only way to reach sexual pleasure but also as a path to sexual and spiritual awareness. Despite its seemingly sexual nature, the goal of a Lingam massage isn’t to achieve an orgasm or ejaculation. In fact, what makes Lingam massage so unique is that there is no goal.

It’s Not About the Orgasm

Similarly to Lingam massage, a penis massage is less about racing to the finish line and more about enjoying the race itself. The intention behind a penis massage is to provide pleasure and stimulation throughout the process rather than focusing solely on the end goal of orgasm.

This approach allows for a more relaxed, enjoyable experience that can heighten the overall pleasure and lead to a more powerful orgasm when (and if) it does occur.

Penis massages cover the entire penis area. Not just the shaft — we’re talking testicles, perineum, and — for those who are into it — the prostate. Incorporating these areas into the massage allows the receiver to enjoy various sensations, leading to a more fulfilling sexual experience.

A penis massage is a holistic, comprehensive approach to sexual pleasure. It’s about exploring and stimulating the entire genital area, creating a range of sensations, and focusing on the journey rather than the destination. And just like Lingam massage, it’s a practice that can enhance intimacy, increase pleasure, and provide a unique sexual experience.

Why You Should Add Penis Massage to Foreplay

Adding a penis massage to your foreplay routine can significantly enhance the sexual experience for both you and your partner. 

Here are six benefits to mixing up your handjob routine by adding massaging techniques:

Focus on Pleasure

Unlike traditional handjobs that often focus on achieving orgasm as quickly as possible, penis massages prioritize pleasure above all else.

The techniques used in a penis massage stimulate and arouse, providing a range of sensations that can lead to a more enjoyable and less goal-oriented experience.

Variety of Sensations

A penis massage can introduce a variety of sensations that go beyond the standard up-and-down stroking motion.

By incorporating different techniques (some borrowed from Lingam massage) and focusing on various parts of the genital area, a penis massage can make the experience more exciting and pleasurable.

Potential for Combined Pleasure 

Penis massages open up the possibility for combined pleasure. Traditional Lingam massages even call for syncing your breath with your partner and gazing into each other’s eyes before starting.

Some people enjoy the combination of a handjob with external anal play or even using a finger or a toy in their anus. This suggests that massaging techniques might be more conducive to incorporating additional forms of stimulation, leading to a more comprehensive and satisfying sexual experience.

Reduced Sensitivity: Massaging techniques can be an excellent alternative to traditional stroking when the receiver is sensitive. These techniques are gentler and add less direct pressure, reducing the risk of discomfort or overstimulation.

Increased Intimacy: The intention behind a penis massage differs from traditional stroking. It’s less about “milking an orgasm out of someone” and more about providing a pleasurable experience. This focus on shared pleasure and connection can lead to increased intimacy between partners, making a penis massage not just a sexual act but also a bonding experience.

It Can Help With Erectile Dysfunction

Just like the traditional practice of Lingam massage, penis massage can have healing properties, too. When it comes to erectile dysfunction (ED), it massaging the penis can have several benefits.

Massaging the penis can improve blood flow in the area. That’s great because sufficient blood is essential for achieving and maintaining an erection. Penis massage can also be a great method to relieve stress, which can sometimes cause erectile dysfunction as well.

It’s important to note that while penis massage can be a great tool for navigating ED, it is not a guaranteed cure. It’s always best to see professional medical advice when dealing with issues like ED to rule out more serious health issues.

Ejaculation Control

Because the point of a penis massage isn’t to achieve an orgasm, the practice can be a great method to improve sexual stamina and navigate premature ejaculation.

For starters, it allows the receiver to understand their arousal levels better. That means recognizing the ‘point of no return’ will become much easier over time, and the receiver has the opportunity to learn how to delay ejaculation. This can result in better sexual stamina with practice.

Another way penis massage can help with sexual stamina is by improving blood circulation. Just as with any massage, the penis massage can help get blood flowing to the penis area and aid erectile function. With better erectile function comes better performance.

As with erectile dysfunction, premature ejaculation can have underlying health issues. If you or someone you know is dealing with premature ejaculation, we strongly advise you to seek professional advice and discuss new treatments with a medical professional.

The Beginners Guide to Penis Massage: 5 Simple Steps

Now that we’ve covered the basics, you’re probably itching to learn how to give a penis massage that your partner(s) will not soon forget.

This guide will walk you through the process step-by-step, providing you with the knowledge and techniques to deliver a sensual and pleasurable penis massage. From setting up a comfortable and sexy space to mastering the art of restraint, we’ve got you covered.

1. Set up a Comfortable (and Sexy) Space

The first step in preparing for a penis massage is to create a positive atmosphere. The environment in which the massage takes place can significantly enhance the experience, making it more sensual and enjoyable. Start by setting your intentions and creating an open mindset. This can help establish the emotional mood of the massage, transforming it into a spiritual and sexual experience.

To create a sacred physical space, consider using fresh bedding, dimming the lights, lighting candles, and playing some music. These elements can contribute to a sensual and relaxing atmosphere, making the experience more comfortable and intimate.

2. Gather Your Supplies (Don’t Forget the Lube)

When it comes to a penis massage, there are several supplies you can incorporate to enhance the experience. Massage oil, for instance, can add a sensual touch and a pleasant aroma. However, one non-negotiable item is lube. Lubricant is essential in ensuring a smooth and pleasurable experience, helping to avoid injury or discomfort.

Toys can also add a unique sensation to the massage. Cock rings and Tenga eggs, for example, can provide a different kind of stimulation. For those who enjoy anal play, a butt plug can be a game-changer. Always remember to ask your partner if they’re comfortable with incorporating these toys into the massage.

Finally, have fresh towels handy for cleanup. This will help ensure a comfortable and stress-free experience.

3. Start Slow

When beginning a penis massage, it’s important to start slow and focus on sensual touching. This allows for a more sensual and pleasurable experience, as it helps to set the mood and build anticipation.

Start by focusing on peripheral areas such as the lower abdomen, upper thighs, and inner thighs. Move your hands slowly and intentionally, creating a sense of anticipation and excitement.

4. Explore the Whole Area

During a penis massage, it’s essential to explore all parts of the genital region. This includes sensitive areas such as the testicles, perineum, and the bottom, shaft, and head of the penis.

Incorporating these areas into the massage can provide a range of sensations and enhance the overall experience. Remember the pleasurable aspects of prostate stimulation and the importance of gentle stroking motions.

5. Master the Art of Restraint

Practicing restraint during a penis massage can significantly enhance the overall experience. This involves pulling back when an orgasm is approaching, heightening the anticipation and pleasure.

When pulling back, focus on the lower abdomen, upper thighs, and inner thighs. This can help prolong the experience and build up to a more powerful orgasm.

Common Mistakes to Avoid When Massaging a Penis

While a penis massage can be an intensely pleasurable experience, some common mistakes can detract from the enjoyment or even cause discomfort or injury. Awareness of these pitfalls can help ensure a positive and pleasurable experience for you and your partner.

One of the most important aspects of a penis massage is being attuned to your partner’s body language and verbal cues. These signals can provide valuable information about what feels good and what doesn’t. Ignoring these cues can lead to discomfort or pain, so paying attention and adjusting your techniques is crucial.

Using proper lubricant or massage oil is another critical aspect of a successful penis massage. While it might be tempting to skip this step, doing so can lead to unnecessary friction, which can cause discomfort or even injury. A good quality lubricant or massage oil can enhance the sensation and make the experience more enjoyable for both parties.

Setting boundaries is also essential. Before starting the massage, talk with your partner about what they are comfortable with. Discussing which areas they’d like you to focus on, how much pressure to use, and whether or not to incorporate toys. Respecting these boundaries can help create a safe and comfortable environment for the massage.

Avoid being too rough or aggressive during the massage. While some might enjoy a firmer touch, it’s important to start gently and gradually increase the pressure, continuously checking in with your partner to ensure they’re comfortable.

Avoiding sensitive areas is also crucial unless your partner has explicitly consented for you to include those areas in the massage. Areas such as the testicles and the head of the penis can be particularly sensitive, so it’s essential to approach these areas with care.

Finally, suppose your partner experiences pain or discomfort during the massage. In that case, stopping immediately and seeking necessary medical attention is essential. A penis massage should be a pleasurable experience, and any pain or discomfort is a sign that something is wrong.

By avoiding these common mistakes, you can ensure that your penis massage is a pleasurable and enjoyable experience for both you and your partner.

How to Incorporate Edging in a Penis Massage

Edging is a technique that can significantly enhance the pleasure and intensity of a penis massage. Also known as orgasm control, edging involves bringing the individual close to the point of orgasm, then reducing or stopping stimulation from delaying climax. This process can be repeated multiple times, building up a more intense orgasm when it eventually occurs.

Incorporating edging into a penis massage routine can be a thrilling addition. Start by using your chosen massage techniques to stimulate your partner, paying close attention to their reactions and body language. As they approach orgasm, reduce the intensity of your movements or stop altogether. Once the imminent orgasm has subsided, resume the massage and repeat the process.

The benefits of edging are manifold. It can lead to increased stamina in the bedroom, as it involves learning to control and delay orgasm. This can be particularly beneficial for individuals who experience premature ejaculation. Additionally, the build-up of sexual tension can result in a more intense orgasm when it finally happens, enhancing the overall pleasure of the experience.

However, it’s crucial to approach edging with care and consideration. It can be frustrating for some individuals, particularly if they want to reach orgasm. Therefore, communication is key. Discuss the idea with your partner beforehand and ensure they are comfortable. During the massage, check in regularly to ensure they are still enjoying the experience.

Safety is also crucial when incorporating edging into a penis massage. Be mindful of your partner’s reactions and stop immediately if they experience discomfort. Remember, the goal of a penis massage is to provide pleasure, so always prioritize your partner’s comfort and enjoyment.

Incorporating edging into a penis massage can take the experience to new heights of pleasure. With clear communication, respect for boundaries, and a focus on safety, edging can be a thrilling addition to your sexual repertoire.

3 Penis Massage Techniques You Need to Try Tonight

Ready to take your foreplay to the next level? We’ve got three tantalizing penis massage techniques from the Handjob Mastery course by Luna Matatas, available on Beducated, that you must try tonight. These techniques, explained in detail below, can provide a range of sensations and enhance the overall pleasure of a penis massage.

We highly recommend watching the entire course for a more comprehensive understanding and visual demonstrations. Now, let’s dive into these techniques that will surely blow your partner’s mind.

#1 Cuddle Fist

The Cuddle Fist technique is a simple yet effective way to stimulate the penis. To perform this technique, create a small hole with your hand, as if you’re making a fist but with a gap in the middle.

Then, move your hand up and down the shaft of the penis. The pressure and speed can be varied depending on your partner’s preference, allowing you to customize the experience to their liking.

#2 Clasped Fingers

The Clasped Fingers technique involves more coordination but can provide a unique sensation. Start by taking the palms of your hands and settling them around the shaft of the penis. Then, clasp your fingers together, creating a warm, enclosed space around the penis.

The head of the penis may be popping out a little bit, or your thumbs might be nuzzling around the head of the penis. This technique creates heat, pressure, and consistent warmth, enhancing the overall sensation.

#3 Bouncing Octopus

The Bouncing Octopus technique is a fun and playful way to stimulate the penis. To perform this technique, hold on to either the base or the shaft of the penis, depending on your partner’s size. Hold your hand in an “octopus” shape with your fingers facing downwards, then slowly slide down until the head of the penis hits your inner palm. The key is to move with intentional pulls and pushes up and down, but gently to not create discomfort. The fingers, or “tentacles,” increase pleasure by varying the amount of pressure.

Each technique offers a unique way to stimulate and pleasure the penis, adding variety and excitement to your foreplay routine. Remember, the key to an excellent penis massage is communication and consent, so always check in with your partner and ensure they’re comfortable with the techniques you’re using. Happy massaging!

Penis massage is a surefire way to spice up foreplay with pleasure that will blow your partner’s mind. Plus, it’s a great tool for building better communication and deeper intimacy in long-term relationships.
