The best place to start is by stroking across your clitoris in a couple of different patterns (lube can make this feel even better!). Try diagonally, in a figure-eight, in a circle, up and down, and side to side. Each time you try a particular stroke, ask yourself, ‘does this feel good?’ The only ‘rights’ and ‘wrongs’ when it comes to masturbation are whether something feels pleasurable for you or not.
