Johann Nepomuk Geiger, erotic watercolor, 1840. A woman giving a man a handjob

A handjob (also spelled hand job) is a manual sex act involving a person stimulating the penis or scrotum of another by using the hand. This is done to induce an erection for sexual pleasure, sexual arousal and may result in orgasm and ejaculation.[1]

A handjob can be performed as either foreplay or as non-penetrative sex. It is analogous to fingering (manual stimulation of the vulva or vagina). Someone may give a handjob so as not to engage in penetrative sexual activity. Besides avoiding the risks associated with sexual penetration, such as sexually transmitted infections (STIs) or pregnancy from penile-vaginal sex, some people engage in non-penetrative sex to preserve virginity.[2]

Practice

General

The main aspect of a handjob is to hold the penis with a loose fist and move the hand up and down on the shaft, glans, and frenulum[3] or use the fingers to trail around those areas. The penis can even be stimulated with both hands. The movements and speed of the action may vary. Personal lubricants are often used.[4]

Some may also touch the scrotum and manipulate the testicles by stroking with the fingers, tugging, placing it in the hand, or rubbing with the palm.[5]

Prevalence in massage parlors

In some massage parlors, a masseuse, whether as part of the massage itself or directly after it, may perform a handjob on their customer. This is sometimes known by the euphemism "happy ending".[6][7]

An investigation by Time Out New York in January 2011 found many New York City massage parlors advertising "sensual massage" and providing handjobs. The parlors charged from $60 to $160, with an extra tip for the sex workers (usually $40) for a massage and manual "happy ending". Most of the massage parlors reviewed were "rub and tug joints" where handjobs were the only sexual services provided, and there was a strict policy of the male clients not touching the female workers.[8]
