As noted in the first installment of this series, those who participate in this activity sometimes refer to themselves as “jack-off buddies” or “j/o buddies.”
The Leveret’s “Buddies” series features images found online of jack-off buddies accompanied by various writings about the sexual practice of mutual masturbation.
In this fifth installment I share an excerpt from Bateworld, “the premier online men’s masturbation community for gay, bisexual, and straight guys from all over the world.”
Enjoy!
Most straight guys would say that the idea of sharing a masturbation session with another guy (and even giving him a hand) isn’t the most exciting thing they can picture. But studies have shown that reported sexual orientation has little to do with sexual and masturbatory fantasies, and an overwhelming number of straight men have at least thought about what another penis might be like.
And a surprising number of straight, bi-curious, and gay men have lived out those fantasies about shared mutual male masturbation every day. The thing about masturbation is that it is entirely free from orientation. Masturbating with or in front of another man doesn’t make somebody gay. It just means they understand male masturbation.
Leaving behind strict rules about what’s considered straight and what’s considered gay, mutual masturbation offers men a chance to explore their pleasure and connect with others in a profound and sometimes intimate way. . . . Mutual male masturbation is not a gay thing – it’s just a male thing.
