Clit pumping is not that popular. When women are on the search for sex toys, they usually first go for a good vibrator or a dildo. I fully understand. This category of sex toys seems to be the most talked-about. And, well, I understand…all women should own at least one great vibrator.
That said, there are a lot of interesting sex toys out there. I’m gonna make a bold statement and say that clit pumps are one of the most underrated sex toys out there. It is insane just how great a good clit pump can be – both for solo play and for couples.
Since clit pumping is often misunderstood, I decided to put together a little guide. In this article, we will be looking at what exactly a clit pump is, why do it, and who should do it. I will also be sharing some of my own experiences with clip pumping.
So, let’s dive right in, here is my full guide to clit pumping for women:
• My 3 Tips for Starting Out With Clit Pumping
What is Clit Pumping?
In short, clit pumping is the process of manually increasing the blood flow to the clitoris. As all proud clit owners know, a clitoris is made of erectile tissue. When the clit is engorged with blood, it is also much more sensitive to the touch.
A clit pump increases both the size and the sensitivity of the clitoris with a suction effect. Now, don’t worry, the effect is fully temporary, and the suction effect… let’s just say that while it might sound uncomfortable, it is actually a quite pleasurable process.
The most common clit pumps are made of a hand pump and a cylindrical cup. You put the cup over the visible part of your clitoris and pump away. As a result, your erectile tissue will manually be filled with blood. A good clit pump will also come with a release valve. This release valve will quickly release all pressure from your clit. I suggest you fully familiarize yourself with where the release valve is. Clit pumping feels great and it is all too easy to overdo it, especially at the start.
Hopefully, my short explanation of this toy made sense and you now have an idea of what a clit pump is and how it works. Now, let’s look at some of the main benefits of clit pumping.
Benefits of Clit Pumping
Natural lubrication stimulation
As most women know, how wet you are might have little to do with how sexually excited you are. You know that feeling when you are horny as hell, yet for some reason, there is a desert down there. Sucks, I know. Damn hormones!
Well, some women use clit pumps to stimulate natural lubrication. While there are loads of body-safe lubes available these days, I know that some girls are against lubes no matter what. If this is the case, clit pumping can be a great yet often overlooked solution.
The visual effect
I must admit, I love my clitoris. I love how much pleasure it has given me through the years and I also love how it looks. Well, a clit pump makes the clitoris look much more visible. My partner finds it hot, and so do I.
A clit pump makes penetrative sex better
The clit is where it’s at! As most women know, penetrative sex is usually not enough to give the clitoris the action it deserves. You either need to get into some seriously kinky positions or, more commonly, stimulate your clit with your own hand while your partner penetrates you.
Well, I have found that pumping my clit right before sex is great for making penetration that much better. Pump up and go for some reverse cowgirl action. You won’t regret it!
The reverse cowgirl is my personal favorite, but feel free to try your own favorites immediately after pumping your clit. I promise that it won’t be the same as usual. You WILL be more sensitive to the strokes.
A clit pump is great for enhancing masturbation
A clit pump can make your solo sessions awesome. I usually start by getting in the mood and slowly touching myself. I play around the areas near my clitoris, but I do not go for it directly. Once it gets almost impossible to resist the clit, I break out the pump and use it directly on my sweetest spot.
The feeling alone is usually almost enough to give me an orgasm.
Once I am done pumping, I very slowly start to play with my clit…I usually do not last more than 2 minutes before coming.
Long story short, if you are looking for new ways to masturbate, a clit pump can be a great toy to try.
Is Clit Pumping Safe?
Yes. As long as you follow the instructions of the toy you bought and do not go too crazy with the pumping. As I already mentioned, you want a device with a solid safety system (the release valve) in place. Just in case you get too feisty with your clit pump.
Also, avoid clit pumps in case of recent vaginal injuries. This should be common sense, but I am putting this out here just in case.
My 3 Tips for Starting Out With Clit Pumping
Test the clit pump on your arm
While experimenting with suctioning your arm is not nearly as exciting as sucking on your clit, it is necessary. You will get an idea of how strong the suction is. Remember, if it hurts on your arm, it will be worse on your clit!
Start slow
I have mentioned this several times already, but do not go overboard with the pressure right away. Yes, even if it feels good. All women know just how sensitive the clitoris is, so the line between pleasure and annoyingly intense stimulation is paper-thin.
Pick the right size
Vulvas and clitorises all come in slightly different shapes and sizes. Look up the measurements of the toy and compare it to your intimate area.
Roughly speaking, you will not be able to find a clit pump that is too small, but you might stumble on something too big and powerful.
While I have always been a fan of clitoral vibrators, I avoided clit pumps for the longest time. However, I am more than glad that I eventually took the leap and experimented with clit pumping.
Not only is clit pumping an entirely novel and pleasurable sensation, but it can also help couples reach a new high in their sex life.
So, whether you are in a relationship or fly solo, I call all of you out to give clit pumping a try. You will NOT regret it.
