Sex therapist and expert Andrea Balboni says getting comfortable with masturbating in front of each other can best show your partner your preferences in the bedroom.

"Because many of us have learned to masturbate on our own in private, it can feel incredibly thrilling to be witnessed – and at the same time frightening – as it feels supremely naughty," Balboni tells Metro.

In a very literal game of show and tell, mutual masturbation involves getting naked in front of each other, and giving a demonstration and explanation of what type of touching and experiences turn you on.

"Mutual masturbation allows you to free your inner voyeur and exhibitionist as you put on display and watch what most people will never see," the therapist says.

Above all, shame and inhibitions are reduced, which can be a real lust killer for many.

Mutual misunderstandings in the bedroom can be cleared up through the practice, Balboni adds: "You let your body speak through movement, so you show your partner where and how you would like to be touched."

"You let your body communicate through movement, where you like to be touched and how. Your partner can watch and learn what pressure works for you and the speed you like to go at. Not to mention the time it takes you to get fully aroused," she explains.

The technique can help build confidence in your communication skills with your partner as you walk through and explain what works for you. "Confidence is sexy," she concludes.

"Contrary to popular belief, no one can "give" you an orgasm. Your pleasure is yours and you experience it within your body."

Balboni says the best way to start is by setting aside adequate time so you don't feel rushed, and bring a clear, ready headspace to the bedroom.
