Onanism ≠ a date with yourself

Valentine's Day is over and the love high is over until next year. Restaurants and condom factories are out of stock and are already counting the extra coins they have collected these days.  


If you have a partner (or a date) you've definitely made a 'special' plan. But before the week officially ends, we wanted to remind you that you still have someone waiting for some quality time with you. To the person who most deserves your attention and affection. You.

Today, this is about dating yourself.

Will you join the plan tonight?
No, I'm sorry... I already agreed - with myself

When was the last time you said something similar? Probably never. It may sound strange and like a socially maladjusted person. But think of it this way: When was the last time you put yourself before the time others demanded of you? 

  • To your boss or company that asks for your attention during office hours 
  • To take the dog or children for a walk (which for us, are the same thing) 
  • Spend time with your partner or tinderplan 
  • Appointments, colleagues, errands,… 
  • … 
You get the hang of it... you... are you always left for last? Have you ever considered that perhaps you have had more “dates” and have worked harder to meet with the podiatrist than with yourself?

We don't want you to suddenly change your life, hit the table and turn around.  We just encourage you to try a crazy idea: a first-date with you.

Come on, I'll give it a try... how do I cook it?

Well, this self-dating thing consists of... the same thing you would do if you were going to meet someone: 

  • Block yourself a time when you will not be interrupted. It can be 1 hour or 30 minutes. The key is not to turn on the meter or look at the clock 

  • Work on the where (it can be the bathtub, the bedroom or your favorite place), the how (if you know what you like... then invest a little in yourself, in candles, in cool music, in a self-massage cream in what that rents you...) and when (as in everything, there are morning, afternoon or night... when you are awake and open)  

  • No cheating. If you wouldn't do it with a date, it's not worth it with yourself: playing a cell phone or console, a nap, reading a book,... All of that is great to disconnect and rest but remember, the objective of this mess is to be alone, with you and connecting. 
And you can start by asking yourself how you are doing (remember, if you're alone, no one notices and doesn't rate like crazy), how your day was, or how you're doing in general. What you would ask your best colleague that you really care about.

What if one thing leads to another and I come really hard... is sex allowed?

Allowed and encouraged!

Of course, just as fucking is different from making love, masturbating is also very different from making love.

Look at it this way: we have grown up masturbating without thinking about 'us'. While you jerk off you think about an image or someone who turns you on, you watch porn with your eyes glued to a screen, you give yourself a zombie handjob after having sat on your hand for a while...


As if you were not the protagonist of the story 🙅🏽‍♂️ Making love is a bit more intra-personal. 

It's about rediscovering your body without rushing. To touch yourself on all sides and explore every sensation and the response it provokes in you. It's about getting you excited... with yourself.

If this sounds too much flower-power for you, we will tell you that there are books that suggest that this self-discovery is the door to male multi-orgasm (so you have one more incentive to try it 😉). 

And when you finish... don't get dressed and leave; stay for the sweethearts later.

Being comfortable alone with yourself

Does that still sound like an alien 👽 to you about making a date with the person who is going to accompany you for the rest of your life? You already give yourself a lot of hard work the rest of the year and there are already too many who are biting off bits from your calendar so you don't lose anything by booking a self-appointment today, now.

I do not know; Maybe the first day you do it for the fun and novelty and it turns out that you have a super interesting conversation with yourself where laughter, funny memories, worries come out,...

Maybe in 4 months you will suddenly repeat it. Over time, maybe it becomes a habit... And with habit, maybe you discover that you love it.   And enchanting oneself is generous, healthy, wonderful... and little practiced.

A proof of love; of self-love, definitive 🖤
