Answer the anonymity question

Probably the first thing a guy needs to do is determine if he wants to be identifiable from this video that he’s about to send out to the world. This is a question about which a man should really think long and hard. Is he comfortable showing his face, not knowing exactly who is going to see this? What if the guy who runs the corner deli sees it? Will the self-stimulator feel embarrassed when he goes in for his morning coffee? Or will he feel proud and enjoy joking around about it? There’s also the question of whether this is something a man may feel differently about 5 or 10 years from now.

Deciding whether to show the face – or anything else that may identify a solo-sensual artist – determines a great deal about how one makes the video.

Look at the equipment

Once the identity question is decided, the man needs to take a good, hard look at his manhood. What is going to make it come off to its best advantage onscreen? For example, does the owner think the wild, hairy bush he sports gives him a sensual, masculine appearance? Or would he rather trim it so that it is neater? Or perhaps shave all the hair off the member and sack?

Are there things about the manhood that he wishes to emphasize – or obscure? Would he like to show off his organ head while perhaps detracting from the mole near the base of the shaft? Is the girth an asset he would like to focus on? Does he plan on spreading his legs, and if so, how does the area between his equipment and his rear look?

Decide on a persona

Many men make self-pleasuring videos simply to be themselves, which is great. Others feel more comfortable adopting a different persona. A shy, quiet man may become a rough, dirty-talking self-gratifier in the video, for example. Sometimes a man may need to make several videos, experimenting with different personalities, to find the one that he wants to share.

Think about the camera

Most guys make self-pleasuring videos on a solo basis – with no separate person manning the camera. It’s wise to take a little time and do some trial runs to master the camera beforehand. See what kind of lighting shows the member off to its best advantage. What angles are most flattering? (For those concerned about size, shooting from slightly below, so the camera is looking up at the manhood and is a bit closer to the organ, tends to make it look larger.)

Use a skin care product

Of course, vitally important is making sure the firm male organ is in good health for the self-pleasuring video. Regular use of a quality male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil) can make a big difference in how camera-ready the member is. When the camera is close up, defects in manhood skin are quite noticeable, so using a crème with a combination of a high-end emollient (such as Shea butter) and a natural hydrator (such as vitamin E) is necessary to ensure a properly moisturized organ. In addition, a good crème should include a powerful antioxidant (such as alpha lipoic acid). By combatting harmful oxidative and aging processes in manhood cells, a potent antioxidant will help the organ avoid that unappealing “wrinkled” appearance, which the camera will only emphasize.
