Self-Touch: The Art of Knowing Yourself Through Pleasure

May is Masturbation Month, and here at The Pink Case, we couldn’t miss the chance to talk about one of the most powerful, natural, and revolutionary acts out there: self-touch.

Yes, masturbation. That intimate, personal, and pleasure-filled space that has been silenced, judged, and stigmatized for far too long—especially for people with vulvas.

But today, we’re saying it loud and clear:
Touching your own body isn’t shameful—it’s a right. It’s self-care. It’s health. It’s pleasure.

 

What is self-touch, and why does it matter?

Self-touch is more than “getting off.”
It’s a way to reconnect with yourself, to understand your sensations, your rhythm, your desires, and your boundaries. It’s exploration without guilt, without rush, and without external expectations.

Practicing self-touch can help you:
    •    Build a better relationship with your body
    •    Reduce stress and anxiety
    •    Sleep better
    •    Strengthen your pelvic floor
    •    Discover what brings you pleasure (and ask for it!)
    •    Reclaim your pleasure without relying on anyone else

 

What if I’ve never done it, or don’t know where to start?

First, breathe. There’s no “right” way to masturbate.
Start with gentle touches—your hand, a bit of oil or lube, a quiet moment that’s just yours.

Create a safe, calm space.
Add music if you want, breathe deeply, close your eyes, and allow yourself to feel.
Touch your vulva, your breasts, your neck, your belly—anywhere can be a zone of pleasure.

Masturbation is not selfish—it’s sovereignty

In a culture that has taught many women to disconnect from their own desire, masturbation is a radical act. It says: my pleasure belongs to me. It’s about turning inward to discover what you don’t need to search for outside.
It’s about breaking silence and reclaiming your wholeness.

Celebrate Masturbation Month with Intention

This month, do something just for you:
    •    Take 10 minutes to explore your body
    •    Try a new toy (we’ve got you covered!)
    •    Talk about it with a friend—let’s normalize it
    •    Journal how you feel before and after self-touch

Remember: touching your own body is not shameful.
It’s an act of self-love.
