Belly Press Technique
Belly Pressing: The New Sensual Technique Taking TikTok by Storm!
Shibari, pronounced shee-BAH-ree, is an ancient Japanese form of rope bondage that goes beyond simple restraint—it’s a beautiful blend of art, intimacy, and mindfulness. Rooted in centuries-old practices, Shibari has evolved into a modern expression that intertwines creativity and connection. Known for its intricate patterns and delicate ties, Shibari transforms rope into a tool for both erotic play and meditative focus.
Whether used to create moments of deep trust between partners or admired for its aesthetic elegance, Shibari offers a unique experience. It taps into the sensual and the spiritual, bringing art into the bedroom and mindfulness into the body. For many, it’s not just about the knots, but about the journey
of surrender, trust, and communication that emerges through the intricate ropes.
Shibari might look like a modern sensual art form, but its roots stretch back centuries to the battlefield. Originating from Hojojutsu, a martial art used by samurai in feudal Japan’s Edo period (1603- 1868), when rope was originally a tool for restraining prisoners—far from the playful, intimate use we know today. These intricate bindings were designed not only to immobilize but also to demonstrate the captor's skill and the social status of the prisoner.
Fast forward to modern times, and Shibari has evolved into something much more than just a method of restraint. In the 20th century, this once utilitarian practice blossomed into an art form, gaining popularity in Japanese erotic photography and performance. Today, Shibari is appreciated both for its aesthetic beauty and its power to create intimacy, trust, and connection between partners. Whether you're exploring it as a form of visual expression or a playful, intimate practice, Shibari has truly tied its way into modern-day art
and sensuality.
What is the Belly Press Technique?
Belly pressing is actually quite simple. It involves applying light pressure to the lower abdomen, just above the pubic bone, in order to indirectly stimulate the infamous G-spot as penetration occurs.
We already know that the G-spot is a mystery for some, and this strange visceral move may make the G-spot sound even more elusive and difficult to grasp. However, to better understand this concept, we need a bit of an anatomy lesson to help us explore how the different parts of the body are intricately connected.
If we take a deep dive into the body's anatomy, we can clearly see that the area associated with the G-spot is simply an area where several important pleasure-sensitive structures come together, namely the internal clitoris and the urethral sponge. The urethral sponge is a tube of erectile cushion that surrounds the urethra. Its arousal potential lies dormant in daily life. That is, until it’s naughty neighbor, the clitoris awakens. When you experience arousal, this spongy cushion swells in pleasure and changes in texture and feeling to the touch. The come-hither finger action is a common method used to summon its engorgement.
While we commonly refer to the clitoris as the tiny nub that lies just underneath where the tops of the labia minora meet, this part of the clitoris is just the "tip" of the iceberg. Instead, it has a substantial internal portion that wraps around the vagina and urethra, creating a cradle of pleasure-inducing tissue.
These two structures form a kind of “pleasure roundabout.” Just like how a roundabout brings together multiple roads and intersections, the G-spot brings together different nerve endings and erogenous zones in the body, such as the internal clitoris and the highly sensitive urethral sponge. This is another reason why the G-spot could be better understood if we frame it as a pleasure zone.
What are the benefits of the Belly Press Technique?
That being said, how in the world could belly pressing be a novel approach to stimulating this
special zone?
Well, picture this: when you apply gentle pressure to your lower abdomen, you also exert pressure on the bladder, which houses the urethral sponge and clitoris at its neck. When aroused, this pressure can ignite a cascade of pleasurable sensations by stimulating the G-spot and bringing it closer to
the surface.
But wait, that's not all!
The belly press technique can also indirectly stimulate the cervix, another erogenous zone, by prompting internal shifts in the pelvic region. Some women find that cervical stimulation can lead
to profound orgasmic experiences.
Perhaps the most enticing benefit of the belly press technique is the potential for blended orgasms. These orgasms involve simultaneous stimulation of the cervix, G-spot, and clitoris, resulting in a multi-faceted, powerful orgasmic experience that many describe as unparalleled.
So, the belly press technique
is a bit like hitting a pleasure switchboard by targeting multiple erogenous zones at once!
So now, let's dive into the details
of how to explore this powerful technique with openness and respect for your body's limits.
How to do the 'belly press' technique
1. Find a comfortable position: Start by finding a comfortable position, either sitting, kneeling
on all fours or lying down on
your back.
2. Locate the mons pubis AKA the “mound of Venus”: The mons pubis is the soft, fatty tissue located above the pubic bone. Gently place your hand just above this area.
3. Apply movement: Explore different areas around the mons pubis by moving your hand in a circular or sweeping motion. Pay attention to any changes or variations in the sensations. If you discover a particularly pleasurable area, focus your attention on honing in on that spot.
4. Apply gentle pressure: Apply gentle pressure with your hand, gradually and deliberately.
5. Tune into yourself: As you apply pressure and move your hand, tune into your body's response. Notice any physical sensations, emotions, or thoughts that arise. Try not to judge what comes up and breathe deeply as you tune into the experience.
6. Partner involvement: If you want, you can ask your partner to apply pressure for you which can add to the erotic experience of belly pressing. Just let them know what you like and guide them in the right direction. You can do this using your words or even by guiding their hand in the direction that feels best to you.
Remember, the belly pressing technique is a personal exploration and can be tailored to your own comfort and preferences. Take your time, listen to your body,
and adjust the pressure and movements accordingly.
When to avoid trying the belly press
While the belly press is a satisfying exercise, there are times when it may not be the best choice. For instance, it’s best to avoid belly pressing if:
• You’ve had any recent abdominal surgeries
• You have a hernia
• Experiencing bloating or gas
Similarly, if you experience discomfort from applying too
much pressure too fast, it's best
to pull back and take it slow. Remember, harder and stronger are not the objectives here. Belly-pressing requires finesse and
body awareness.
Why belly-pressing might take some mental prep and focus
For some, the lower abdomen
may be a source of insecurity. So touching it while having sex, can bring up negative emotions or judgment. It’s important to honor your feelings and confront internal judgements when exploring
belly-pressing.
Many women find that accessing power through this move can actually help them in overcoming body shame by embracing their weight and the cascade of pleasure that comes from exploring this saucy sensual switchboard.
Wherever you are at in your journey of body positivity know that you are not alone in the insecurity that might arise from trying out this move. However, with practice and time you may find that belly-pressing is just the trick for reclaiming your body-positive
mojo back!
Maximizing the Potential of the Belly Press Technique: Tips and Product Recommendations
Tip 1: Incorporate a wearable toy:
Using a wearable toy means that you can be hands-free to press your belly to set sensations in motion. Who needs coffee in the morning when you can just do some belly presses combined with a wearable toy like our Satisfyer Top Secret to wake up those pelvic floor muscles and get your day started with a bang?
Tip 2: Rocking the pelvis:
Gently rocking the pelvis to help activate the muscles further and increase blood flow for enhanced sensitivity and sensation. This can create a ripple effect of pleasure that can radiate throughout the body. It's like a whole-body electric shock but in the best possible way! A great position and toy to try this tip is reverse cowgirl with a c-ring like our Satisfyer Perfect Pair 3 sending waves of ecstasy throughout the penis, clitoris, and vaginal walls, while your pelvic rocks steady and your belly press technique mines for the gold of your G-spot!
Tip 3: Use a wand or broader toy to press the belly:
If you’re not as comfortable using your hand to press your belly you may want to consider using a wand vibe or broad vibe. The powerful vibrations can provide more consistent and focused stimulation to the nerve fibers. It can also be preferred by those who feel less comfortable using their hand. Moreover, the broad range of vibration settings enables varied intensities and rhythms to explore, which can be especially enjoyable while engaging in vaginal sex with a partner. We recommend the Satisfyer Wander Woman, which has a streamlined shape and ample size allowing for targeted stimulation and easy access to the lower abdomen and pubic bone area. Secondly, it features powerful, rumbly vibrations that can be adjusted to various intensities, making it perfect for exploring different levels of stimulation while using the belly press technique.
Tip 4: Add heat to the move:
Pressing on the lower belly may feel uncomfortable for some. While belly pressing isn't for everyone, sometimes adding a warm towel, or a warming massage oil to help aid in relaxation as the muscles of our lower belly can often hold tension. Another excellent option for a warming effect is to incorporate a warmed glass dildo like our Satisfyer Dazzling Crystal. This toy not only holds heat but also pairs safely with any type of oil or lubricant and can be used as a massage tool because of its smooth surface and weightiness.
Tip 5: Add additional points
of contact:
As we’ve already covered, belly-pressing is about connecting the dots of various pleasure zones. This is also why incorporating additional points of contact can add to the fun! This might mean stimulating the external clitoris with your other hand, or incorporating clever tools like our Satisfyer Endless Fun. Try placing the rounded head around the labia and over the clitoris as the upper shaft rests on the pubic bone and mons pubis. Then experiment with pressing on the top of the shaft to activate even more belly-press pleasure. This move is great because the opening of the rounded head allows for the entry of the penis for penetration, and also allows you to belly-press without having to touch your belly if you feel insecure about that.
Best Positions to Explore the Belly Press Technique
Different sexual positions can facilitate an enhanced experience when exploring the belly
press technique.
1. The missionary position is a comfortable starting point for many couples, as it allows both partners easy access to each other's bodies, including the belly area. For added comfort and stability, consider using a pillow under the lower back of the receiving partner. This not only relaxes the lower back and belly but also enhances the overall experience, making it
more enjoyable.
2. The doggy-style This position also allows access to the front of the body, making it easy for either partner to apply the belly press method. Plus, the angle of penetration can be easily adjusted by the receiving partner, whether by dropping the torso or tweaking the angle of the pelvis. It's a delightful option for some belly-pressing fun!
3. The seated position is perfect for exploring the belly press technique. In this position, one partner sits, while the other sits on their lap facing them. This position allows for closeness and easy access to the front of the body, so the seated partner can easily apply pressure to the lower abdomen enhancing the experience.
4. The spooning position is another excellent option, especially for those who prefer more gentle, intimate encounters. In this position, either partner can reach around and apply pressure.
Conclusion
When delving into the belly press technique, remember that open communication, consent, and comfort are crucial. If anything feels amiss, express it to your partner and exercise patience
as you navigate through it. Experiment with different positions to discover the ideal match for you and your partner. Prepare to enhance pleasure and embark on
a journey of sensual exploration!
So, whether you're looking to spice up your solo play or trying to add
a new layer of intimacy to your partnered sex life, belly pressing is definitely worth exploring. Not only can it lead to some seriously mind-blowing pleasure, but it can also help you connect with your body
in new and exciting ways.
