When exploring your body and pleasure some people try unusual methods. One of them is hump pillow. This can be a safe and fun way to explore your desires and find out what feels good for you. It may sound weird but humping a pillow is actually common. In this post we’ll go through the steps, techniques and safety tips so you can have a good time.
Pillow Humping 101
Pillow humping also known as “pillow humping” or “grinding” is rubbing your body against a pillow to get aroused or orgasm. This can also be named as masturbation. It can be solo or part of a partnered activity depending on your preference. The soft and malleable nature of a pillow makes it a popular choice for people looking for a non-intimidating and easily available object to explore their desires.
To start hump your pillow like a pro, you need to find a pillow that suits you. Pillows come in different shapes, sizes and textures each providing a different sensation. Some prefer a firmer pillow for more pressure while others may like a softer one for a gentler experience. Try out different pillows to find what works for you.
Choosing the Right Pillow
Choosing the right pillow is important. Here are some to consider:
- Firmness: A firmer pillow will give you more resistance and grinding sensation. A softer pillow will be more cushiony and comfortable for some.
- Size: Larger pillows like body pillows can give you more surface area and variety of positions. Smaller pillows are easier to handle and more discreet.
- Material: The fabric of the pillowcase can also affect the sensation. Some may prefer a silky pillowcase for smooth gliding while others may like a rougher texture for more friction.
Remember, the goal is to find what feels good for you. It may take a few tries with different types of pillows to figure it out. This will be your sex toy so be careful.
Techniques for Humping a Pillow
Once you have your pillow, it’s time to try out different techniques of using a pillow. Here are a few:
- Face-Down Grinding: Lay the pillow flat on a bed or soft surface. Position yourself face down over the pillow, with the pillow under your pelvis. From here you can gently grind your hips into the pillow, adjust the speed and pressure as you like.
- Straddling the Pillow: Place the pillow between your legs and straddle it like you’re riding it. This position allows you to control the pressure and angle by rocking your hips back and forth. This is great for clitoral stimulation.
- Kneeling Position: Place the pillow vertically and kneel in front of it. Lean your body forward so your pelvis is on the pillow. Use your hands to stabilize yourself on the bed or floor and start grinding against the pillow. This position gives you more control and different angles of stimulation.
- Backwards Position: Similar to face-down grinding but this time lie on your back and place the pillow under your hips or buttocks. Lift your hips slightly and start thrusting upwards. This is like a traditional sex position and great for trying out different movements.
Try out these techniques and find your rhythm, movement and ways to hump. Remember, there’s no right or wrong way to do it—what matters is you.
Tips to Make it Better
To maximize pleasure and safety consider these:
- Use Lube: Adding a water-based lube to your pillowcase can reduce friction and increase sensation. Especially helpful if you’re using a rougher fabric or find dry friction uncomfortable.
- Focus on Sensory Details: Pay attention to your body, the fabric on your skin and the rhythm of your movement. Being mindful of these details will enhance your experience and help you stay present.
- Try Different Positions: Don’t be afraid to try different positions and movements. What works for one person might not work for another. Experimenting will help you find what works for you.
- Control Your Breathing: Deep, rhythmic breathing can help you relax and get more aroused. Focus on your breathing to stay in the zone and prolong the experience.
- Set the Mood: A comfortable environment can make a big difference. Dim the lights, play some soft music or light candles. A relaxed and inviting atmosphere will make it more enjoyable.
Safety Precautions for Humping a Pillow
Humping a pillow is generally safe but here are a few things to keep in mind to avoid discomfort or injury:
- Cleanliness: Make sure your pillow and pillowcase are clean before and after use. Bodily fluids can transfer to the fabric and if not addressed can be a hygiene issue. Consider using a dedicated pillow for this purpose and wash the pillowcase regularly.
- Avoid Overstimulation: Pay attention to your body and any signs of irritation or discomfort. Overstimulation can lead to soreness or skin irritation so listen to your body and stop if you feel pain.
- Use a Pillowcase: Always use a pillowcase to prevent direct contact with the pillow itself. This not only keeps it clean but also provides a smoother surface to grind against.
- Be Gentle: Sudden or aggressive movements can cause strain or injury. Start slow and gradually increase intensity as your body gets used to the sensation. Always prioritize comfort and control over forceful actions.
