So how about it, I’m sure there are some of the teeming who are either ambi or know someone who is. Do you trade off manos or do you have a preferred set of digits for that activity but always use the other own for mousing and holding the toothbrush?
A perfect thread for IMHO. Moved.

Payback’s a bitch.
Just sayin’.
I’m not ambi, but my opposite hand shakes with the middle one.
OP: No. Each hand has it’s own set of things to do. Most of the time. There are obviously going to be circumstances that require I use my “other” hand for specific activities. Most of the time though, each hand has it’s own duties.
Right Hand:
[ul][li]Using a computer mouse[/li][li]Writing[/li][li]Using a knife during a meal[/li][li]Holding a can of precious precious Dr Pepper if there is a fork in my hand during a meal[/li][li]Flipping a shitty driver off[/ul][/li]
Left Hand:
[ul][li]Using a fork during meals that involve cutting (That is, stab fork with left hand, use knife in right hand to cut, move food to mouth with left hand)[/li][li]Holding a can of precious precious Dr Pepper if there is not a fork in my hand[/li][li]Holding a phone or doing much of anything on a phone (dialing or text messaging) [/ul][/li]
EDIT: So yeah, does that make me ambidextrous?
I was right handed until the world wide web got going, then switched. Not really ambidextrous, although I shoot archery left handed, too. All else is righty.
I tend to do certain tasks with one hand or the other, but I can usually switch hands if there’s a need to. One exception is writing - although my writing with either hand is legible, the right-handed writing is better because that hand is more practiced. Other than that, I’m pretty ambi but since it’s a right-hander’s world guess which hand winds up doing more than the other.
I’m not ambi, but I am ambi-curious.
Assuming the OP is pussyfooting around the term “masturbation”, no, this ambidextrious person uses Lefty exclusively. And I just realized the opposite of “pussyfooting” could be said to be dick handling.
I don’t use my hands.
I’m right-handed, but have always used my left for “me-time.”
Yes, I’m pussyfooting a bit. I haven’t posted on this forum in a number of years and don’t have a feel for the board as it is today.
Saying the word “masturbate” or any such variants is not ever going to be off-limits to this message board.
And to actually answer the OP, if I am ambidextrous, no I don’t alternate hands.
I’m not ambidextrous, but it would not matter if I were, because it’s a both-hands job in my case, due to size.
What - one for the magnifying glass and one for the tweezers?
Modesty prevents me from saying more. 
I’m somewhat ambidextrous. You be the judge:
I write right-handed when using pen and paper, but I can write equally well (in terms of legibility and speed) with either hand when writing on a vertical surface, like a white board or chalkboard. I can use both hands equally well to key numbers on the number pad of a key board, but only use my left thumb when spacing. As far as sports are concerned, I was taught to do everything as a righty, but over time have come to realize that some stuff I’m better at using my left. Layups, for example, [though I’m awful at basketball in general, so the casual observer wouldn’t be able to ID this as an improvement over the right handed ones] and taking a breath on the left side when swimming freestyle [on the left side, I do it perfectly,–right side, a little awkward, less fluid). Most fine-motor skills I do with my right hand (like using carving tools, using tweezers, cutting things with an exacto knife, or trimming dogs’ nails), but I can still do them with my left if I have to, it’s just a little awkward or less precise sometimes.
As far as the masturbating thing is concerned, I similarly favor my right. However, I can switch hit as necessary.
Too bad they don’t make a tweezer-equiped version of this gem. That’d make masturbation in such cases a breeze!
