The Ultimate Morning Beauty Regime: Why Self-Pleasure is Your Secret Power Source

Stigma is essentially a pleasure killer because it keeps the body in a state of fight or flight. When we feel like self-pleasure is a secret or a chore, our cortisol stays high and the blood never makes it down to the 10,000 nerve endings where we need it most.

Whenever I see my clients, the first thing we talk about is that feeling loved has to start from within. If you can’t love yourself, you can’t fully love another, and this is exactly where masturbation comes in. But there is a huge hush around it.

The problem is that sex ed has historically ignored female pleasure entirely. We don’t even have comfortable, casual words for it! This hush creates a massive gap in body literacy. We see male masturbation everywhere in pop culture, but female sexuality is still framed as scandalous or invisible. Even the data shows the bias, there are over 30 treatments for male sexual dysfunction and historically zero for women. This sends a message that our pleasure doesn't matter, which is simply wrong.

Mind the Gap: Why Women Need More Time

There is a massive orgasm gap between men and women. Men can usually climax in 5–7 minutes, whereas it can take us anywhere from 20–30 minutes. This leaves a huge gap, and it’s up to us ladies to get to know our bodies first so we can bridge that.

Foreplay shouldn't be a rush. The body needs to be in a state of calm so it feels safe. When you feel safe, the blood can flow away from the heart and brain and move down to the genitals, allowing those 10,000+ nerve endings to finally be activated.

I always tell my clients that communication is lubrication. But if you don't know your own body inside and out, how you like to be touched or how it feels to fully orgasm, how can you tell your partner? Stigma keeps us from practicing solo, which means we go into the bedroom with pressure instead of presence.

The Ultimate Morning Beauty Regime

I swear by starting the day with an orgasm. It’s the ultimate beauty regime. It keeps your morning cortisol (stress) at bay and releases dopamine and oxytocin. Because your body is already warm from sleep, it’s easier to get going. The surge in blood flow wakes up your brain for clearer thinking and even makes your lips look fuller. Go to work with a beautiful morning glow to set your day up right.

By normalising these conversations, it allows women to find their power from within, guiding them to use their intuition and internal knowledge to feel even more powerful. Whether that’s within the boardroom, writing, singing, or just being 100% unapologetically themselves. They carry themselves better, have more confidence, and don’t really allow anything to faze this. This is the power held from within.

Five Somatic Techniques to Claim Your Power

To find your true power and get to know your vulval walls inside and out, try incorporating these somatic rituals into your solo practice:

1. Set the Ceremony

Don’t rush. Tidy your space, light a candle, and put on some tantra music. Make it a ceremony. Start by breathing into your pelvic region and relaxing your jaw. Brush your skin from your breasts down to your vulva to wake up your nerves before you even touch your clitoris.

2. Practice Edging

Edging is definitely the secret to mind-blowing, full-body orgasms. Bring yourself right to the edge of climax, then stop. Do this several times. When you finally commit to the climax, the ripples will be felt from head to toe.

3. Fire Breathing

Lie on your back and sync your breath with quick, Kegel-like contractions. It builds incredible heat and spreads sexual energy from your pelvis all the way to your head.

4. Use Your Voice

The throat and the vulva are made of similar tissue. When you moan, you activate the vagus nerve, which puts your body into rest and digest mode. Deep moans actually push the diaphragm down against your organs, intensifying the orgasm.

5. Mirror Work

Sit in front of a mirror and watch yourself. See which movements create which facial expressions. It’s the best way to study your own pleasure so you can eventually show a partner exactly what you need.

Stop seeing self-pleasure as a chore or a secret. It’s time to stop the hush, get to know our bodies, and go to work with fireworks already set off before our morning coffee.
