Sex Toys and Masturbation Tips by Zodiac Sign - Sexual Astrology

Like the universe itself, the study of astrology is vast and complex. The stars offer boundless cosmic guidance, serving as a celestial road map to life’s many adventures.

We’ve explored how the twelve zodiac signs flirt, partner up, and even get it on with one another between the sheets. But what about even more personal interests? While playmates are surely fun, there’s nothing quite like solo entertainment, and astrology can teach us about that, too.

The benefits of self-stimulation are many. In addition to relieving stress and simply feeling good, masturbation can be an extremely soulful act. Through it, you can dive freely into your innermost fantasies, connecting with both your physical body and transcendent mind.

Certain signs are aroused by new and exciting environments (Sagittarius, Pisces), while other signs are thrilled by cerebral foreplay (Gemini, Aquarius). And, of course, some signs use masturbation as an opportunity to build tension (Taurus, Capricorn), while others delight in an expedited climax (Aries, Virgo).

However you choose to masturbate, astrology can help guide your hand — literally. Ahead, discover what the stars say about how you like to masturbate, as well as a vibrator recommendation for each sign. Feel free to seek inspiration from the other signs’ approaches, too. Remember, darlings, we are beautiful, complex beings with diverse turn-ons and passions. Sit back, relax, and prepare to get in touch with your astral approach to self-stimulation.

Aries (March 21 - April 19)

Aries is the first sign of the zodiac. Known for their passion, enthusiasm, and impulsivity, these thrill-seeking fire signs want to be the best at everything, including self-pleasure. When it comes to masturbation, they don’t want to get bogged down by complicated fantasy scenarios or clunky gadgets. Goal-oriented Aries look to maximize their pleasure in the most efficient but also exciting way, igniting their flame through direct and precise touch directed straight toward their pleasure centers.

Aries' best sex toy: Lelo’s powerful Gigi 2 is a perfect companion for assertive Aries: Its flattened tip can seamlessly target both the clit and the sensitive front wall of the vagina, also known as the G-spot.

Taurus (April 20 - May 20)

Tauruses are known to be the most epicurean sign of the zodiac. These seductive earth signs enjoy tactile experiences that tantalize the senses through touch, sound, taste, and sight. Ruled by Venus, the planet of love and beauty, Taureans are most turned on by physical manifestations of romance. When it comes to self-gratification, Tauruses seek a fully luxurious experience. Lighting candles, running a warm bath, or applying a deliciously scented moisturizer (or lubricant) is the perfect foreplay for pleasure-seeking Tauruses, who seek to set the stage even when solo.

Taurus' best sex toy: Sumptuous Taureans should check out the Womanizer Deluxe. The name may be silly, but this device is no laughing matter: This toy delivers a combination of suction and vibration sensations to the clit, allowing Taureans to build up to an awe-inspiring orgasm.

Gemini (May 21 - June 20)

This mercurial sign is represented by the twins, symbolizing the multiple interests and passions of Gemini. Aroused by spontaneous play, these fun-loving air signs are renowned for their nonstop energy, high-speed communication style, and out-of-the-box thinking. They're always intrigued by new and innovative ways to get down. It’s no surprise that when it comes to masturbation, Gemini’s preferred approach to pleasure is always evolving. Gemini should switch up their solo dances frequently, incorporating a range of toys and techniques into their masturbation practices.

Crave

Cancer (June 21 - July 22)

Cancers are symbolized by the crab, and accordingly, they use their tough shells to protect their sweet, sensitive interiors. While these water signs safeguard their emotions in daily life, their biggest thrill is letting loose: When Cancers are comfortable enough to remove their protective layer, they delight in exposing their raw emotions and feelings. For Cancers, self-gratification is a multidimensional process. Sensual crabs take time to explore their bodies, building heat through progressively more intense caresses. These sensitive creatures should frequently carve out time to connect with their bodies, paying extra attention to how the lunar cycle impacts their libidos (Cancer are ruled by the moon).

Cancer's best sex toy: Dame Products Fin Vibrator is the perfect accessory for erotic crabs, who will enjoy the erotic possibilities of this discreet yet powerful finger toy.

Virgo (August 23 - September 22)

Virgo may be known as “the virgin,” but don’t be fooled by this misleading association: These earth signs are obsessed with sex. Virgos’ favorite sexual fantasies often involve a mundane activity transforming into a carnal romp. Ruled by Mercury, the planet of communication, these analytical lovers are deeply aroused by intellectual exchanges and mischievous wordplay. They may find themselves especially turned on by literotica.

Lovehoney

Virgo's best sex toy: Jimmyjane’s Form 4 is the ideal companion for amorous Virgos. This versatile device can be used as a body massager, applied to the clit, or inserted vaginally, making it the perfect toy for blurring the line between “naughty” and “nice.”

Libra (September 23 - October 22)

Ruled by Venus, Libras are the aesthetes of the zodiac. These elegant air signs are recognized for their charm and sophistication; in turn, they’re suckers for seduction and glamour. Libras pay close attention to their surroundings, and so ambiance is critically important to their enjoyment of masturbation. Before Libras explore their anatomy, they should take a few moments to adjust the lighting, queue up the perfect erotic playlist, and indulge in a few deep breaths to clear their minds of distraction.

Libra's best sex toy: Since these debonair air signs always look their best, they’ll appreciate the Crave Vesper: This surprisingly powerful vibrating pendant effortlessly blends fashion and passion for day-to-night thrills.

They should play with rhythm and breath in their masturbation practices, varying the pressure and speed of their touches as they build intensity.

Scorpio's best sex toy: Daring Scorpios should consider exploring erotic electrostimulation, the application of electrical currents for the purpose of pleasure. The Mystim Tickling Truman vibrator pairs traditional vibration with electrostimulation, delivering a sensation guaranteed to bring even the most jaded scorpion to her knees.

Sagittarius (November 22 - December 21)

Fiery Sagittarians are known for their fun-loving, thrill-seeking dispositions: These archers are tantalized by new and exciting experiences, both in and out of bed. As aroused as they are by adventure and risk, Sagittarians like to experiment with their sexuality in public spaces. If they live alone (or are sure to be alone for a while), they might try masturbating somewhere they never normally do — say, on the living room couch or the kitchen floor. Mixing up the timing of their self-stimulation (for example, with a quick morning masturbation session before work) can also provide Sagittarians the variety they crave.

Sagittarius' best sex toy: Since Sagittarians are always traveling, the super portable Revatilize Pocket Rocket Set is a must for titillated archers on the go. The vibrator's three attachments make this set the equivalent of four different toys in one.

Capricorn (December 22 - January 19)

Capricorns are the bosses of the zodiac, and these hardworking earth signs do not mess around when it comes to pleasure. Despite their stoic demeanor, Capricorns are among the kinkiest signs. These ambitious goats approach sex with dedication, determination, and erotic intensity. After a long day’s work, masturbation is an excellent way for Capricorns to relax, unwind, and explore the depths of their hedonism. Indeed, Capricorns love to release — and then release again.

Walmart

Capricorn's best sex toy: When it comes to multiple orgasms, there’s nothing like the Magic Wand to trigger recurring elation. This timeless vibrator has been generating pleasure for decades, and now with its cordless design, Capricorns can enjoy truly untethered euphoria.

Aquarius (January 20 - February 18)

Aquarians are the revolutionaries of the zodiac. Celebrated for their innovation and eccentricity, these distinctive air signs enjoy seeking out diverse sexual experiences. Rebellious Aquarians hate to be told what to do and tend to find rules extremely oppressive. Accordingly, Aquarians love experimenting with self-pleasure, as it gives them the freedom to explore their bodies and minds without external limitation. Aquarians also love technology, and so they delight in incorporate vibrators and other erotic gadgets into their masturbation sessions.

Aquarius' best sex toy: Creative Aquarians will appreciate the versatility of Fun Factory's Miss Bi. Its shaft, which can be used internally, ends in a curved tip that massages the G-spot, while its flexible extension targets the clit. It's also safe for anal play. Flip through six intensities and six rhythms to find a favorite channel, then sit back, relax, and enjoy the show.

Pisces (February 19 - March 20)

Pisces are the last sign of the zodiac, and these ethereal water signs are known for their intense psychic abilities and mystical powers. Represented by two fish, these sensitive creatures reflect the depth and breadth of the expansive ocean in their incredible ability to absorb emotions and experiences. Sexual pleasure is intense for empathetic Pisces, and many of these mermaids use orgasms as a tool to trigger spiritual awakenings. Masturbation for Pisces is transcendental, connecting body and soul. Pisces should experiment with aquatic pleasure, indulging their passions in the bathtub, shower, or even the ocean.

Pisces' best sex toy: The waterproof Blueberry Buzz is a waterproof designed to withstand all climates — even underwater ones. With a design that resembles a siren’s scepter, it's the perfect accessory for dreamy mermaids.
