Masturbation is clearly an all-season activity, but summer brings with it some opportunities for some season-specific solo fun. A man who has been following good penis care guidelines will be well positioned to take advantage of these opportunities and add a little more spice to his solo sex sessions.

Some of the suggestions below involve masturbation outdoors. It’s important, of course, to remember that public masturbation can get you in trouble with the police, so men are advised to limit their outdoor fondling to private places.

cool it down

As every man knows, masturbation relies heavily on friction. Penile rubbing, whether vigorous or more practiced, creates friction of varying degrees, which in turn stimulates the sensitive nerves in the penis and produces the sensation that makes masturbation so irresistible. But friction also produces heat, and on a hot summer night, a little extra warmth is the last thing a man needs.

If you are involved in a long pleasure session, remember to stay calm. Spread your legs apart (especially if you are lying down or standing up). If you’re sitting, get up from time to time to let some of the heat escape from your midsection. If you’re masturbating outdoors, spreading your legs can allow a nice breeze to add a ticklish sensation that also adds to the pleasure.

Cool it – again.

A more fun way to keep cool is to aim a small fan directly at your crotch while you masturbate. This will not only cool down the balls but can also add a bit more stimulation which can be quite exciting.

Calm down, one more time.

Many men know that the masturbatory experience can be enhanced by a sudden change in temperature, usually by applying very cold water or ice wrapped in a towel to the balls as ejaculation approaches. This feels even better and is even more appreciated during the dog days of summer.

Non-lubricating lotion.

Summer is the perfect time to walk outdoors in the buff. Guys considering this should make sure to apply sunscreen to protect the sensitive skin on the penis. If you are alone while you are out, a man may be tempted to use that lotion for lubrication. Keep in mind, however, that sunscreen is not made for this purpose and if it gets into the urethra it is likely to cause a burning sensation.

Be hoarse.

Corn on the cob is a summer treat, but don’t throw away the husks after shucking the ears of corn. Wrapping the shells around the penis provides a very different masturbatory sensation that some men find intensely pleasurable. For an even more unusual experience, keep the corn silk and use it during solo fun as well.

Enjoy a melon.

Watermelons are also at their peak in the summer, and they can provide a bit of juicy fun for a man. Just make a hole of the right size and depth in a melon, insert your penis and simulate intercourse. It’s a bit messy, but it definitely provides a kick.

Take the decisive step.

Masturbating in the shower is one thing; masturbating in a lake or in the ocean is quite another. The sensation that occurs when masturbating with the penis completely submerged in the water is truly unique. (Again, make sure you only enjoy this activity when you are alone, not while others are around.)

Of course, masturbation in summer can still be practiced in the same way as in any other season of the year. Whatever the season and whatever the method, it pays to use a top-notch penis health cream regularly. (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) to keep masculinity in top form. Those who masturbate frequently and/or roughly should definitely choose a cream with acetyl L carnitine, which helps protect the penis from desensitization due to excessive rubbing. An L-arginine cream is also a good idea. L-arginine is an enzyme that helps create the conditions in which the blood vessels in the penis can relax, opening them up for the flow of blood that is key to a strong erection. Taking steps to maintain penile health will only improve sexual encounters with oneself.
