Cis female here. I have masturbated for most of my life, mostly without the aid of any material. I’m ADHD and it has bordered on becoming like a stim behavior, I do it for stress relief and stimulation. It made me develop an issue where I could only finish if my legs were locked and I held my breath. I have just recently been working through this with the aid of toys, and it has made my sex life with my bf improve SIGNIFICANTLY. I can orgasm in bed much more easily now. That being said, lately, I still find myself doing it compulsively. I orgasm multiple times in a row for stress relief (clitoral stimulation). It feels completely removed from anything sexual, if that makes sense. It is bordering on addictive behavior.
How can I reframe masturbation in my life as a source of self care and sexual exploration? I feel like it is taking away from my sex life due to associating orgasm with a form of quick stress relief. I feel like masturbation should be enhancing my sex life instead, so I really want to work on this!
