Most people have heard of pillow humping. It’s the dirty little secret of masturbation. But what is it exactly and is it something you should try? If you have never tried it, it’s something you’ve got to do at least once in your life. It’s a comforting and easy way to get off when you’re going solo!
It isn’t the most common form of masturbation for either men or women, likely. There hasn’t even been a lot of research about masturbation that includes pillow humping. However, there was one study done in 1976 called The Hite Report that said 4% of women like to hump pillows when they masturbate.
What is Pillow Humping and Who Is Doing It?
Pillow humping is a masturbation method that both women and men can do. Mostly, it is a solo activity, but it’s also something you can do with a partner.
Some choose to engage in pillow humping if they are trying to abstain from sexual activities before marriage. Others use it as a form of foreplay or an activity they can enjoy together when penetration isn’t possible.
Pillow humping involved rubbing the genitals against a pillow. It’s simple and safe and there’s no right or wrong way to do it. Because pillows are soft, they mimic the sensuality of being with a partner. You can even use different kinds of pillow cases to alter the mood.
People of all genders can enjoy pillow humping. You don’t have to be single either – lots of married people enjoy the act of humping a pillow! Many people discover this activity before they become sexually active, even. It’s that simple!
Nine Ways to Hump a Pillow
- Lay face down with the pillow under you. This might be one of the most common positions for pillow humping. It’s easy and if you tend to get loud when you reach orgasm, you can muffle the noise with another pillow. Simply spread your legs and grind against the pillow until you find the right speed and tempo. Keep with it and soon you’ll need that second pillow to moan into.
- Lay on your side with a pillow between your legs. This position is great if you need to keep an eye on the door! Just lay on your side and tuck the pillow between your legs. Keep it snug against your body and rock back and forth. Thrust your hips forward. If you’re a guy, fold the pillow in half so you have something to thrust into. If you’re a girl, spread your labia a bit so that the pillow creates friction against your clit.
- Ride those pillows! If one of your favorite positions is riding cowgirl, women will love this. Stack up a few pillows and then mount them as if you were straddling a man. Spread your legs wide to let your clit slide back and forth over the pillows. Each time you move your hips forward, lean in a little bit, giving your clit a good rub! Guys can do this too! Place your cock between the top pillow and the one underneath it and drive it deep!
- Vary the size and texture of the pillows. Pillows come in different sizes with different types of material, so have some fun finding out what you like best. You might like a firmer pillow with a nubby textured cover or maybe you prefer a pillow with down filling and a satin pillowcase. Each one gives a different sensation!
- Get in the corner! Find a nice firm corner to put your pillow against and you’ll have extra sensation from your pillow humping. The corner of the bed or the arm of a couch or chair works really well. By putting a firm foundation behind your pillow, you can grind or thrust harder and get more bang for your…well, for you bang!
- Get on your back – lay on your back and put the pillow between your knees. Tuck it up tight against your genitals and move the pillow with your legs. This is a fun way to pillow hump because it feels almost like someone else is controlling the action. For a woman, it mimics the motion of the missionary position. Try using a body pillow and it’s almost like someone is right on top of you!
- Get naked – lots of people like to pillow hump fully clothed. It adds to the secret and almost dirty feeling of doing something you shouldn’t. But if you like to feel more sensuous when you masturbate, consider getting naked. Get under some soft sheets with your pillow, pick your favorite position, and let the sensuality of soft fabric on your skin add to your experience.
- Listen to audioerotica stories. Audioerotica stories are like porn for your ears. You can find stories that appeal to any fantasy you might have from spanking to BDSM to simply a sweet and loving sex romp. These stories are read by people with sexy voices and you can choose whether you want a male or female voice. You can even choose the length of the stories so you can decide whether you want something more drawn out and detailed or a short story that gets you from point A to point B as quickly as possible.
- If you’re more visual, watch porn. For more visually oriented people, watching porn is often the easiest way to get off. You get to see the body parts and hear the sighs and moans. Get into any fantasy with your choice of porn. There’s lots of free porn on the internet, but why not consider treating yourself to a porn site that specializes in your favorite kink?
Pillow humping isn’t new. It’s been around for as long as there have been pillows! All you have to do is find a time and place when you can be alone. Unless the idea of getting caught is what turns you on, of course.
