Dear (anonymous),

I've written about handjobs before, so presumably you have a question that goes beyond my last article on the HJ. So I asked your boyfriend and here's what he told me: hand jobs, when done well, are a totally hot addition to your repetoire. But you've gotta figure out how to do them right. That means knowing the when, where, and how of HJs.

When: Handjobs are best implemented, in my opinion, away from home. There's something really hot about handjobs when they're given in circumstances that just wouldn't allow for sex, like on a bus or train or underneath a table or counter when there are other people around who don't know what's going on.

Where: In his pants, obviously. I'm not in favor of the in-the-bedroom handjob, because if you're in bed, you might as well have sex. But as to where specifically your hands should be, according to The Handjob Handbook (which I have been dying to purchase and, thanks to this question, could do so and write it off on my taxes), your hands should be both on his penis and his balls (and taint, if he's down with that).

How: As I wrote the last time, you need lube. You also need to create a consistent rhythm, which might make your arm tired. Keep working on it. Beyond that, borrowed from The Handjob Handbook, here is "The OK," a basic HJ:
  • Make an OK sign with your thumb and foreinger.
  • Place the O that you've formed around the penis.
  • Move your hand up and down the shaft.
  • Now angle the O diagonally so the tips of your fingers point downward.
  • As the O slides over the ridge of the head, put a little elbow grease into it and shift your forearm downward.
  • Twist your hand back and forth, but just a little bit in each direction.

thanks for the post! i have to disagree with you a little though.
1. not all guys like the ball play as much as you think they do.
2. handjobs are hot in the bedroom too.
3. giving a hj in public sounds messy. is he supposed to just carry the load around in his boxers? ewww. i'm not doing that laundry!

LOVE the blog. keep up the great work!

the book emphasizes playing with the balls--if it were me, eh, probably not. and yes, in the bedroom too. and they don't cover it in the book, but i think it wouldn't be hard to get your hand around the head to contain the come as much as possible and then, presto, just wash it off. which will be really easy if you're in the bathroom at the bar/party/train.

Hi Go-To,

I agree with all of your recommendations, however, I've found that the where and how contradict a bit - the places where it is fun to give handjobs (ie, the car, the movie theater) are not the places where I keep my lube. Are you suggesting that we plan ahead for impromptu hand jobs, or do you recommend spit in these occasions? Or is exhibitionism its own lubricant?

A handy trick if you don't have lube is, if your guy is uncircumcised, use the foreskin to rub it down, at least the head. They like that - at least from what I've experienced.

And a bit of twist and varying the pace and the pressure in different areas. Combine with a bit of tongue action if you get into it.
