I’m currently exploring my sexuality more deeply, especially around the topic of solo sex. I’ve noticed that lately my masturbation habits have become quite fast and stimulus-driven, using erotic AI-generated stories and a silicone sex toy. While these can be very arousing, I often find that I’m not really present in my body and that I climax very quickly, sometimes after just a few thrusts. I’ve also felt that my orgasms have lost intensity and don’t feel as fulfilling as they used to. At the same time, I have a strong desire to develop a healthier, more mindful connection with my body and my sexual energy – one that involves awareness, self-acceptance, and genuine pleasure through touch, not just release. I really resonate with the term “solo sex” – not just as a means of orgasm, but as a form of sensual, nourishing self-love.
