If you’ve never done it before, certainly there’s some curiosity as to how to make it pleasurable for your partner, and that’s perfectly okay. So, if you’ve ever found yourself asking the question, “How do I give a guy a hand job?”, you’re not alone. There’s something of an art to doing it, and you’ve come to the right place for a few useful pieces of advice.

Being able to watch how a man handles himself when he masturbates is a good first indicator of how he would also want a partner to touch and handle him. Privacy being a huge factor that prevents one from seeing such an act, if you aren’t able to watch how your partner masturbates, do a bit of research from some of our popular porn movies to get an idea of how it’s done in terms of grip, speed, lube, and anything else which may be peaking your curiosity.

Keep in mind that a man’s genitals are very sensitive, and while you may have the best of intentions when giving a hand job, a lack of proper lubrication, tugging too hard, or a grip that’s simply too tight will result in more discomfort than pleasure. A quarter-sized dollop of water-based lubrication will aide in your hand’s ability to slide up and down the shaft of your partner’s penis without any painful friction. The idea is to provide the sensation of actual intercourse by using your hand alone.

The underside of the penis tends to be the most sensitive, leading up to the underside of the head, being the most sensitive area of all. Every man is different in terms of their preference for how firm a grip is required to be pleasurable, and communication with your partner is key to discovering what they like best. Pay attention to your partner’s noises, movements, and anything they may say in order to gauge your grip and speed.

It’s always a good idea to start slowly and to pay attention to your partner’s reactions. Grip the penis as you would a microphone and slide your hand and fingers gently, yet firmly, up and down the length of the shaft and head, mimicking the motion of intercourse. Some men enjoy having their testicles cupped with your free hand, as well.

All in all, hand jobs are a fun way to explore your partner’s likes and dislikes, and there’s not much to it at the end of the day. Nerves are a common concern when doing it for the first time, but you can always contact us if you need more advice, and try to remember, practice makes perfect!
