Also known as mutual self-touchtouching togethersolo together
Mutual masturbation is partners pleasuring themselves alongside each other, or pleasuring each other by hand — an intimate, low-pressure way to share and learn.
The gist
Mutual masturbation covers touching yourself while a partner does the same, or using hands on each other. It's low-pressure and highly instructive: watching and being watched is one of the clearest ways to learn what a partner enjoys. It suits every kind of body and pairing.
