When was the last time you intentionally set aside time to give your partner a handjob outsideof a foreplay scenario? Folks in the sex ed industry often joke that our hands are the most versatile “sex organ” on the human body, given that (unlike the genitals) we can move them into any shape or configuration and acutely control how much pressure we’re applying with them.
Plus, since hand sex cannot get someone pregnant, and it’s extremely difficult to transmit an STI from the genitals to the hands (and vice versa), it’s surprising that the ol’ HJ is often glossed over as being an adolescent sex act, or something that ought to remain within the realm of foreplay. (This likely has a lot to do with the mainstream’s penetration and penis-in-vagina intercourse-centric attitude towards human sexuality.)
