We’re halfway through The Pleasure Project - 30 days of self-pleasure, exploration, and reclamation in honor of May’s Masturbation Month. And while, let’s be honest, none of us need a reason to touch ourselves… sometimes it’s not that simple. Sometimes you’re tired. Hormonal. In your head. Or just not feeling it.
Because as women, pleasure doesn’t always arrive on command - especially as we age. Science backs this up. As estrogen declines, so can libido. Vaginal dryness, changes in blood flow, and shifting hormones all play a part in how easily we get turned on. Add stress, full schedules, and a culture that still makes women feel weird about masturbation… and yeah, the spark can dim. But here’s the good news: desire is a muscle. And like any muscle, it get stronger the more we use it. So whether you’ve been riding this 30-day wave or are just dipping your toe in now - here are five real ways to help tune into your body, tap into your turn on, and bring the spark back home.
Sometimes the mood doesn't come first. Sometimes the doing is what brings it. We plan our haircuts, we schedule our workouts, but when’s the last time you put “self-pleasure” on your calendar? Masturbation isn’t just a guilty indulgence - it’s a wellness ritual. Orgasms flood your brain with dopamine and oxytocin, reduce cortisol, help you sleep, and even improve immune function. So yeah, it’s good for you. Better than green juice and way more fun than yoga.
Not to state the obvious, but toys are game changers. Whether your new to the vibe game or ready to level up, introducing a toy like one of the Tasten Wellness Zigu Stimulators can unlock a new kind of intimacy - with yourself. From the petite and discreet to the luxe and indulgent, our luxurious collection is designed for women who are ready to play, explore, and indulge in their own pleasure on their own terms.
It’s 2025, babe. No more searching for scrambled signals or hiding DVDs under the bed. Adult sites now offer actual curated erotica and porn designed with women in mind. Think beautiful cinematography, real chemistry, diverse bodies, and actual foreplay. It’s not about what turns him on. It’s about finding what turns you on - and letting yourself enjoy it.
We grew up thinking sexy was something done to us. But sometimes, sexy starts in the brain. Enter: erotica. From slow-burn romance to steamy one-shots, sites like Literotica offer an endless scroll of titillating stories that you can tailor to your taste. No visuals, no pressure, just good, old-fashioned storytelling - with a lot of heat.
Pleasure should be relaxing. Sensual. Even a little ritualistic. So if a glass of red or a puff of your favorite THC or CBD blend helps you ease into the moment, go for it. Light a candle. Put on a playlist. Slip into something soft. Turn your solo session into a full-on ceremony.
The truth is sometimes desire doesn't just show up. Sometimes you have to coax it out. Invite it in. Make space for it. And when you do - even just a little - the whole world starts to feel a little more delicious. Because halfway through or just beginning, your pleasure is always worth showing up for.
