2nd February 2021 – Introduction to Recording Yourself

Today’s instructions focus on exploring the sexiness behind recording yourself and watching yourself masturbate – also known as mixophilia. Hopefully, you will find yourself with a hot picture set or video of yourself by the end. Understandably, many people feel a certain apprehension at the idea of recording themselves in the act, or in a state of undress, or in any kind of sexual scenario. Usually, this is due to a fear of images or videos being shared without consent.

With that in mind, it’s important to note that these instructions and this exercise are about self-empowerment. This activity is for you to love your body and enjoy your own sexiness. If you choose to share whatever you create with someone else, that is fine, of course; however, first and foremost, this is for you.

Additionally, if you ever feel uncomfortable or unsure, you can stop at any time. When relaxed and comfortable, self-recording can be arousing – this is what we’re going for.


Rules and Information:

  • You can orgasm at any time. Whether you’re recording or not. Though, obviously, catching your orgasm on camera may make your video even hotter.

  • You will need a camera. A phone will do. However, if you want to have both of your hands free throughout, you may also want to get a tripod of some kind so that you can mount your camera before you start.

  • You will need space and privacy. Sound is a big part of arousal and undeniably makes sexy videos even sexier. Try to find a time and space where you can be loud whilst you do this.

  • These are not strict instructions. You’re encouraged to tweak the instructions as you see fit so that they fit into your setting. Not everyone has an identical bedroom space or an identical phone. Choose the positions, angles and technology which are most comfortable for you. If you’re comfortable, you’ll feel more relaxed and turned on which, on camera, translates to a sexier performance.

  • This is not a porn scene. You are not recording a porn scene. You do not need to act in a different way (unless you want to) and you do not need to exaggerate your movements or moans or expressions. This is simply a video or photo-set of you masturbating as you always do. You do not need anything more for it to be sexy.

  • These instructions are short. This exercise is about you enjoying yourself in the best way possible. As a result, the instructions are short and open-ended. Also, you may have to use your phone or device to record yourself, in which case, you won’t be able to read the instructions at the same time.

  • Optional: Use toys. Toys, whether they are vibrators, butt plugs, nipple clamps, rope, or whatever you like to use when you play, will only make you enjoy yourself more and in turn, make the video sexier. The bottom line is – masturbate in the way you enjoy most to get the best video.

  • Optional: Take pictures instead. If you are nervous about appearing on video, you can choose to take pictures at various times throughout your play, instead.

  • Optional: Have a camera operator. Consider asking your partner to record you. This added element of performance may make the whole experience hotter for you or even lead into some more… collaborative activities.

Instructions:

  1. Start by setting up your camera. You can either hold your camera up as you play (though, this may result in aching arms halfway through and a shaky end result) or you can stand your camera up by leaning it against an object or placing it on a tripod. Whichever you choose, make sure it has enough battery and is positioned to watch you play. Including your face is optional if you are nervous.

  2. Press record. Don’t worry about how long it’s recording. If you want to, you can edit the video later but even if you don’t, watching you slowly turn yourself on and build yourself up will make the video more genuine, real and sexy.

  3. Choose a position to start in and focus on teasing yourself. This can be any position you prefer, the only rule is that you take your time teasing by avoiding the most sensitive areas of your body. Consider adding massage oil or other bedroom additions to amplify your sensation. You should be aching to touch yourself by the time that you finally do.

  4. Use just your hands to work yourself up more. Avoid using any toys when you finally begin to play with yourself. Save them for when you really need to be tipped over the edge.

  5. Use your fingers and/or toys to push yourself over the edge and orgasm.
