How To Give Great Hand Jobs - Tips at Sh!

Hand jobs, baby!

Hand jobs are underrated. Many think of them as something teenagers do (granted, they do), something you "grow out" of when you start having "real" sex. Is this you? If so, you're missing out. You can have so much fun hand jobbing a penis!

The good thing about hand jobs is that you don't need any extra equipment - apart from the lube. Lube is essential for great sex, but we'll come to that in a bit. A hand job can be a quick surprise in a place where you might get caught (hot!) or a drawn-out treat in the comfort of your bedroom (also hot!).

Read on for our best tips for how to give great hand jobs!

Anatomy

First of all, you need to know what you’ve got to work with.

The glans (head) is the most sensitive part. This part can be circumcised or have a turtle neck of wrinkly foreskin. This changes your approach to hand jobbing it.

  • Foreskin: Moving the loose skin up and down stimulates the nerve endings on the tip of the penis.
  • Circumcised penis: The foreskin has been cut, and a dry hand can be painful. Always use lube.

The frenulum, or banjo string as it’s often called. This part is sensitive. Stroking and playing with the frenulum usually go down well.

The shaft houses three erectile cylinders that fill with blood as the owner gets more and more turned on. The raphe on the back of the shaft is the largest of the erectile cylinders, and firm pressure along this ridge works well.

Party bag, or the lesser sexy 'ball sack.' Most folks have two testicles, though a single one isn’t uncommon. One typically hangs lower than the other. You need to be very delicate when handling the party bag. A good rule of thumb is: Only go firmer if your person asks for it.

Juicy Hand Jobs

Our favourite add-on has got to be a bottle of lubricant, and the sensual slipperiness of silicone-based lube is a winner. Lubed-up strokes will be smoother and feel better for you both.

A little goes a long way, so there is no need to go overboard. Warm up a small amount of lube between the palms of your hands and start off your delicious hand job by wrapping your hands around the base of the shaft and stroking upwards and over the glans. Make sure every millimeter is covered.

Hand Job Techniques

It’s a dick; how hard can it be? If you’ve wanked off one, you have wanked off them all, right?

Wrong.

Penises are as individual as their owners - they respond to different kinds of stimulation. Some like a gentle, romantic seduction, whereas others prefer firmer handling.

A good trick is to ask your penis owner to masturbate for you. Pay attention to their moves, how they slide their hands, and if they grip tighter at the base or at the top. This gives you a great insight into their preferred moves.

A straight up and down motion is a classic. Form a ring with your thumb and forefinger and glide it up and down the shaft for an easy start. Keep it rhythmic and avoid any jarring speed changes.

As you get into it, close your hand around the shaft and use your entire palm for massaging their erection. Give a little cheeky twist with your hand. Try twisting your hand on the upstroke, downstroke, or both. Use your other hand to cup and stroke the testicles gently – they like to be invited to the party too!

Slide your palm up and over the glans and down the other side. Avoid rushing it – stretch out your hand job. Make it last!

Alternate the pressure. Lighten up your grip, then grasp down a little harder on it again. In general, you can be firmer with the shaft than you may think.

Bring your other hand to the shaft and alternate hands sliding up and down the shaft, one after the other. Keep one warm hand on the penis at all times.

If you're a multi-tasker, try gliding one hand upwards and the other downwards. You can even try twisting both hands in opposite directions. Just make sure your hands are well lubricated to ensure pleasure, rather than painful friction.

Interlock your fingers and massage the shaft firmly. Use your thumbs to add firm pressure to the raphe on the underside of the penis.

Communication is Lubrication

It’s no secret that men-folk think…less…during sex. Blood rushes to the erect member, and there isn’t enough left for their brains to think clearly. Therefore, keep the conversation open but easy to follow.

Ask questions they can give simple answers to: 'Do you like that?' 'Do you want more?' 'Harder?' 'Faster?' Even a grunt is a valuable reply and helps teach you how to give a great hand job.

Pay attention to body language too. Moving the penis closer to you and your hands is a 'hell yeah, I like that!' Shifting hips away means 'too hard' or 'slow down.'

Edging the D

Edging is fun, and if you like to tease your partner, this trick is for you!

If you know your bedmate well, you may be able to tell when they are close to coming. This is when you make your move.

Rather than letting them finish, slow down your moves or switch to a different activity for a short while. Once they have their twitching D under control, it’s time to shift up a gear again.

Bring them close to climax with their favourite had job moves, then slow down again.

Play this game as many times as they can stand it. Edging helps build excitement, and the pressure when they finally get to orgasm is intense.

Once they’re at the point of simply not being able to stop themselves from coming, help them finish with a mind-blowing climax! Keep your hands moving throughout their orgasm.

Where you want them to jizz is up to you. On your hand, on your chest, in your mouth, in a tissue, in a condom… There are no rights or wrongs, just personal preferences.

Vibrating Penis Strokes

Adding vibration to your hand strokes can be super-thrilling! This stretchy penis sleeve features a textured inside plus a removable bullet vibe with 7 speeds.

For this hand job, we recommend using water-based lube as it’s compatible with the soft material of the toy. Drizzle a generous amount of water-based lube into the textured sleeve. Add a little extra lube to the glans and shaft of the penis before gliding the moist sleeve over the peen. Switch on the vibrations, ask them to lay back, and work your magic!

Easy Beat Hand Jobs

A sure-fire way of juicing up a hand job is by adding a Tenga Egg. Tenga Eggs are cute masturbation cups that are so easy to use. Each egg features a sexy internal texture that delivers toe-curling pleasure.

Here's how to do it:

  • Crack open the egg
  • Remove the soft cup nestle inside the packaging
  • Open the accompanying sachet of lube
  • Drizzle lube into the soft cup
  • Pop the lubed-up cup over the top of the penis
  • Massage the top up and down the shaft

Pearls of Passion

Apply lube to both shaft and balls before wrapping a string of pearls around the shaft. Gently rub the pearls up and down the erect penis for an extra layer of exciting sensations.
