What is a handjob?
A handjob is defined as a sexual activity involving one person using his or her hands on a man’s penis to give him an orgasm or sexual release. The giver of the handjob uses one or both hands to stroke and rub the penis in a rhythmic and deliberate fashion to bring about an orgasm for the recipient.
The handjob has something as a history as a beginner’s sex act, usually as high school fumblings in the backseat of a car or furtive gropings on the living room sofa before someone’s parents get home. The handjob is a common activity before a couple decides to go “all the way.” However, the handjob can be an exciting act for even seasoned sexual partners as a means of mixing things up in the bedroom and adding some variety to the usual sexual repertoire. This experience can be enhanced as a long and sensual experience involving music, candles, and a variety of lubricants, or as a quick and dirty means of gratification at the office holiday party or men’s restroom. Handjobs, whether as a heterosexual or gay encounter, have gained popularity as something of a sexual niche or fetish, and have numerous websites devoted to just this activity which was once considered to be the territory of young people with no “real” (i.e., oral or penetrative) sexual experience. The handjob can be quite elaborate, with carefully staged positioning for the players and an arsenal of quality and creative lubricants.
