How To Shoot A Self-Pleasure Video Like A Pro?
More people have discovered the benefits of self-pleasure as it became a form of self-care, especially during the past two years. According to a survey, 54% of men and 46% of women masturbated regularly in 2020, and 71 percent of Americans believe that self-pleasure can help to improve one’s mood. It’s likely the reason why masturbation videos are so hot right now as not only are people more comfortable touching themselves intimately, but they’re also starting to see the appeal of watching others pleasure themselves in front of a camera.
Making a masturbation video can be quite empowering, whether you’re doing it for yourself, a partner, or for others to view on porn sites. To make a really sexy video though, you’ll need to do some planning and preparation, especially if you want your content to get lots of views. Here’s how to shoot a self-pleasure video like a pro.
Think of a Concept
If you visit any porn site, you’ll see that masturbation videos come in various forms. Some put the focus on their genitals alone and shoot only from the hips down so their faces can’t be seen in the video. Others prefer to shoot from the neck down, while some don’t mind showing their faces in the video. Some people shoot roleplay masturbation videos. This involves a lot of talking, so the viewer feels like they’re part of the scene. Meanwhile, some individuals shoot self-pleasure videos to review sex toys. This can be a great way to get some revenue and free toys to try out, but you do have to be diligent enough to film videos regularly and have an open mind to try new things.
There are other, kinkier options than the ones mentioned, but these are great choices to start with, especially if you’ve never done a masturbation video before. Think about what you’re comfortable with before picking a concept. Once you’ve made your choice, it’s time to prepare yourself for the shoot.
Grooming and Toys
Self-pleasure videos that feature pretty, well-groomed genitalia get a lot of views. There’s no need to go overboard though as getting a Brazilian wax at least two days before the shoot will suffice. Getting rid of unwanted hair makes it easier to see everything, especially for closeup masturbation videos. Taking a shower and ensuring that you’re thoroughly clean is also a must, even more so if you’ll be using anal sex toys.
As for the type of sex toys to include in your video, plan on using one that you truly enjoy so your body responds naturally to the sensations while you’re masturbating on cam. Never try to use too many toys all at the same time since it can be overwhelming, and juggling too many things during a scene is not sexy at all. For instance, women who want to experience vaginal and clitoral stimulation at the same time can use a snail vibe. The unique shape of this vibrator hits the g-spot while stimulating the clitoris, so you can get a double orgasm while filming your video.
Shooting the Video
Now that you’re prepped and have your toys, it’s time to shoot your video. Make sure to do a test shot to check if your camera is focused and your lighting is sufficient, and get rid of any clutter since these could distract your audience. Next, get in the zone– it’s essential to be in the right mindset, so do your hair and makeup, spend some time on skincare, and wear something sexy, even if you’ll be taking off your clothes a bit later.
The correct positions can be flattering, so if you’re sitting, lean against something, avoid slouching, and slightly arch your back. Posture is everything, even if you’re humping a pillow, so arch your back and keep your shoulders back. Don’t try to be quiet– the sounds of masturbating, whether the squelch of lube or the soft sounds of getting pleasure, can be a significant turn-on. Make sure not to overdo it since it’ll sound fake on video.
When it comes to shooting a self-pleasure video, the most important thing is to do what feels good. Make the type of videos that you’ll want to watch. It’s a surefire way to inspire you to keep filming sexy solo videos, whether it’s for yourself or for others.
