does getting a handjob feel different from doing it yourself?
 

sometimes a girl friend (i mean platonic and not romantic girlfriend) and i fool about and she gives me tugs, if you know what i mean. the thing is, it seems like getting this feels better than self-masturbation. the orgasm is better generally too.

Does this happen to anybody else, or is it just me?

I'd say HJ's are like any other sex act, if the partner knows what s/he is doing it can be most pleasurable.
An ex-girlfriend of mine used to give me massages and about half the time when she'd finish with the massage she tell me to roll on my back and she'd "finish me off". She could give the best hand jobs in the world and I'd unload like mad (much better than what I could accomplish myself)! We used to joke that she must've been a guy in a previous life 'cause she knew just what to do. She also said she had fun doing it. I really miss those.

On the other hand (rimshot please), I had one from a woman who didn't have a clue what she was doing. It was terrible.

I haven't received any complaints, but maybe if you gave her some direction it would have been better? I would think every guy has a way he enjoys it better, but if you don't open up and say so or show her.. how is she supposed to know?

Well yeah it's gonna feel different... Someone else is touching your dick.

just dont get it in her hair

Um, no. I'm kinda in the dark on this one. Can you elaborate?

Have you ever tried to tickle yourself? Notice how it doesn't work? Same phenomena. When another person tries to tickle you, your nervous system registers that there is something peculiar going on and it sends you into a state of panic. When you do it to yourself, your body knows what's going on and you don't panic. Likewise, when suddenly you're getting stimulation from a source unknown to your body, it assumes you're having intercourse (with a woman that feels like a hand... but hey, beggars can't be choosers). If you're doing it yourself, your body is aware and thinks "A few more of these and I'll make that f**ker go blind."

When you masturbate alone, do you feel desired, sensual and as aroused as you would be with a live woman? That might explain the difference.

Im interested in finding out if it feels different when a platonic g/f does it versus a romantic one?

it does feel different (viz the OP). And Shani, there is no difference that I can discern.

Yeah of course it feels better. Same reason self-massage doesn't feel as good. Of course if they're horrible at it...

I would think there would be a big difference considering the definition of platonic

Not sure on the definition. Doesn't platonic mean that there is an emotional distance in the relationship? That it is more cerebral than romantic? Well, from what I have been able to discern, an HJ from a platonic girlfriend feels just as good as from a romantic one.

It feels much better when done by the other. Again there need to be a comfort level.
When I do it for myself I strongly prefer being talking or chatting with some one online. Even though they dont know about it, it still feels good.

Makes me wonder how many ladies and gents do this while chatting??????

Honestly? Never been much of a hand job guy. Nobody's ever gotten me off with just her hands.

I mean, it's not bad as a warm-up. But it's unlikely to do the trick, as it were.

Vaginal is indeed the beezneez. :thumbsup:

Well, we all have our preferences. Vaginal is probably third on my list. Manual would be fourth, I guess.

I'll leave figuring out the first two as an exercise for the reader.

BJ from toothless pitbull?:oogle:

A hand job is low on my list too - but to stay on topic it's much better than doing it myself

1) Axiliary Intercourse
2) Footjob

Do I win a prize? :orly:

WOW did I not mean to threadjack in THAT direction!

Axillary intercourse?

I have heard that if you sit on your hand until it falls asleep, it feels like someone else giving the tug when you are abusing yourself.
Another tip from your uncle Larry.

Hmm... I, uh, guess I'll have to keep this in mind when I go into the TFP chat room... :paranoid:

This thread made me try to remember if I'd *ever*had a hand job...I guess I probably did, a few times, as a teenager. See green, below

No offense, but it's typical for women to expect there to be a difference. The overwhelming majority of men see any sex act as just a sex act like any other, platonic relationship or not.

Actually, it takes a very rare guy to actually to distinguish between the two situations.

I'm surprise no one mentioned this. Sit on your less dominant hand palm down for about 15 minutes or until you lose some feeling in it. Then jerk off with that hand. That's what a handjob feels like.
