Does masturbation cause UTI ? The female population pls.

TMI possibly?
The way I masturbate has never lead to me getting a UTI. But I have no idea how common that is. I am sure anything is possible but unless you were naked around something really unclean I think you should be okay? And your hands should be clean if you're going to touch yourself with your hands obviously. As for how to masturbate or orgasm, there are probably a thousand different ways, positions, and techniques that women have used to masturbate over the years. It's no secret though that the clit is the gateway to pleasure for a lot of women, and that penetration is not necessary for all, though desired by plenty. I don't like penetration. Using my hands or a toy is uncomfortable and does nothing for me really. It actually is kinda a mood killer to some extent because I think for it to work, if it it would work for me at all, it would take a long time, and frankly, when you are trying to get off patience is not the easiest thing to have. So I have always masturbated the same way. I just rub my clit, either through my clothes, or without, on either a chair, a mattress, or an ottoman. Basically, anything like that that isn't too hard, and just hump or press my clit into it. I don't know about orgasm precisely, because they are notoriously tricky to define, but I know there is a "building" sensation, and you feel sorta warm and tingly, "down there". And eventually it just starts to feel really good, and if you keep going, it builds and then you reach a point where it feels REALLY good, like hitting just the right spot, and your body will kinda relax, or tense up, depending on the person, and it will feel really nice, kinda like having had a really satisfying three course dinner. But that is only how I do it. Everyone is different and needs different things. I hope that was at all helpful.

 

I think infections of any kind can be avoided if you wash your hands and clip your nails to avoid any dirt that could be caught underneath or giving anyone a scratch. So I guess a good plan is to first clip tour nails, file them to make them smooth and then wash them. If you are to touch another woman that way, you can also use a latex glove to prevent anything from getting transmitted to either party.

Now orgasms differ from person to person but there are a few hints. If you use a mirror you might see the area getting darker with stimulation, this means more blood is flowing. Don't get scared if from a pink coloration it turns to a really dark color like purple or almost black -depending on your skin complexion that would be less or more visible. Because of the blood flowing, you will most likely notice the pelvis getting quite hot, even your whole body can get hot, depending on your response patterns. Also your inner lips might get swollen.

Another hint for arousal is when you get quite wet. Now again every body produces different amounts of lubrication, but usually the more lubrication there is, the closer one is to orgasm. And of course something experienced by all people close to orgasming is the change in breathing, you will see your breath getting shorter and quicker. Your heart rate will be increasing as well. Some people experience lightheadedness or slight dizziness and shaking and shivering during and after orgasm. It is quite intense and you'll fell like something important happened, so I doubt you can mistaken it for something else. You'll know when you experience it.

Have fun and take care.

 

Good point about the out of breath feeling. I always feel like a ran a marathon when I've "finished" so to speak.

 

If you didn't feel out of breath, I'd say you did something wrong.

It feels oddly cathartic to talk about such things. No judgement, no shame and thankfully no creepiness about it either.

 

Yeah I like talking about it. It feels liberating. I'm not embarrassed by sex though.

 

agree with the others who posted already. I'll add that I have only had myself to be thankful to for a year now and no uti's. As for the act itself, I have never had an orgasm with penetration ie with men. You can also get so held up that you have wet dreams similar to what men do, or at least I do. The feeling is also different in orgasms depending on how you got there. With just a vivid imagination, you can have orgasm without the extreme heavy breathing. You just get the overall relaxed feeling and pulsation of the vaginal area. With the dream orgasms while sleeping they can be either way depending on how involved you get while asleep. If you have never had one, the movable shower heads on pulse work very well or a running water in a bath. This is one of those things that you have to actually do to get what people are saying on how it feels.

 

Like the others said, wash your hands first and perhaps use a wipe or something to make sure your genital area is clean. To prevent UTIs after sex it’s recommended to pee afterward, which cleans bacteria out, so that’s probably good practice with solo sex too.

I have to have a lot of stimulation to reach orgasm, which for me, usually requires a toy, and it can take awhile.

Have fun experimenting!

 

It sounds like you're doing something right then! Just experiment and try different things/positions. You'll find something that works. And if penetration doesn't do it for you then don't do it. A lot of women can't orgasm that way. Nothing wrong with that. I'm not even sure I can. But find a method that works whatever that is. I also find that it can help to let your mind wander, read some erotica, watch porn or a sexy movie, and just get in the mood so to speak. Come up with a fantasy that "gets you there".

 

It sounds like you did fine!

I'm not an expert on penetration, but if you want to try it, you may want to be gentle about it. I had a sex with a male partner and I didn't really enjoy it because I found the whole sensation too much. Although I must admit that it wasn't half as horrible as I feared it would be.

It's not a good thing to try if you are not warm or wet enough, it might leave you with a painful burning sensation which is not pleasant at all. It might take time for your body to get ready for it.You can check your body for clues that it's ready for it. It might feel like your body is craving for something or like it's opening up for something.That differs from person to person. I can't help much with determining this since it's not my favorite activity.

Also if you are doing this with another man, it will help a lot if he's tender with you and there's chemistry between you ie if you like him just as much as he likes you. In my case my ex-lover was careful and considerate. However now I found out I'm lesbian, it makes sense why I didn't enjoy being sexual with him.

 

That's awful! Is there any way you can leave?

 

I've seen my Fat Greek Wedding. I live in Greece too. Things are a little backwards here as well but women have more freedom not to marry if they wish. The situation you're describing sounds like what my grandparents had to go through. Now people are a bit more accepting but I still face patriarchal shit in daily life. It is more manageable than what you describe though.

It's tough to have to face that kind of future. If you had the change, should you leave and live somewhere you can make more choices for your life? I can imagine it puts you in a situation where you'd have to leave everyone you know, family and friends behind though.

 

Yes, I've heard about the decriminalization of same sex relationships. I also agree that it's still a shaky balance and that it's too dangerous to come out as a same-sex oriented woman. I'm not sure about the part of religion, since from what I've seen the Divine is often depicted and worshiped in the form of a woman. It sounds more like a social issue that has some basis in politics and religious ideas imported from outside. Like after the Muslim invaders took over, the Divine Mother from naked went to clothed from head to toe. English conquerors also brought their puritanism with them. But these are my observations as an outsider, your perspective as a woman living in India is more important.

I'm sorry this made you sad, but it is something you might want to consider. You'll find a way to survive eventually either by getting married to fulfill your family's wishes or by leaving. You know your options best, I wish you nothing but happiness.

 

Sex in general can contribute to UTI for women. If you pee before and after, and make sure you're clean prior to masturbating, you should be fine.

As for orgasm, it's difficult to describe, but your vagina will pulsate if you have orgasmed.
