I, 23M, have always had a difficult relation with my body, intimacy and masturbation. I hugely involves shame and thinking what I was doing was wrong or weird.

The shame around it doesn't come from religion or anything that was ever pressured on me, it's within me personally I think. Last year I was in my first serious relationship where I lost my virginity as well. It made me feel a lot more comfortable with sex, intimacy and my body. Unfortunately, my relation ended and I felt like I was back at square one, full of shame and not knowing what I enjoyed or liked.

Now, I want to gain that control over my life and not see it as a chore. I want to explore masturbation to the fullest and I hope you are able to give me some tips and tricks to do that. Everything from techniques, experiences, things you learned along the way, anything that could help me figure out such an important part of life. Thanks in advance!
