'Am I the only one out there who masturbates with my legs crossed?' Julia, Poland

Am I the only one out there who masturbates with my legs crossed instead of spread?” has been the question I’ve been asking myself for years. I felt uncomfortable about my method of masturbation. It took me a while to start sharing this with my partners and realise there is nothing wrong with it.

The only reason why it felt odd is because porn demonstrates only the “legs-spread” masturbation. Later on, when I started reading more sex educational literature and explored OMGYes, I realised that my method, despite being rather rare (some stats say it’s only 3% of vulva owners who masturbate this way), is totally normal and just as pleasurable as any other techniques.

Want to share your story? Whether it feels big or small, putting it into words can be incredibly therapeutic. Plus, reading others’ experiences reminds us it’s never just us going through something!
