I don’t think anyone who talks about it does so to talk about technique. It is more about talking about interesting things that might have happened to you as it relates to that - such as getting interrupted or talking about how you might have done so for an out of the ordinary reason. If anyone wanted to talk about such gross details, they wouldn’t need euphemisms. I think the last time a friend mentioned it to me, he said he had gone to a forest preserve on lunch break, sitting alone in his truck - decided what the hell, but then his boss showed up and parked next to him! Stuff like that.
Within the context of a romantic relationship, I do really like to talk about it, but again, not technique but THOUGHT process. I think it is fun to share stuff like “so since I couldn’t see you last night, I replayed this or that memory of the two of us for my 11 o’clock…” and so on. It is fun to get inside the other person’s head and know what they think about, gives a whole new kind of intimacy.
Last time I was out on a field exercise, I saw a beautiful, ground-to-ground, complete double rainbow. Some lucky lady must have had one hell of a time with the little man in the boat.

I used to call it Teletubbie time.
When my daughter was little I used to work evenings and the only alone time I could get was when Teletubbies were on.
We have moved beyond that now, as she goes to school part time. I now kill kittens.
The only time I really talked about “IT” with another girl was when I was about 15 or 16 and I met this psycho girl and we started talking about masturbating and figured out that (at the time) we both preferred to masturbate through cloth, preferably lace! My (girl) friend was looking at me as though I had gone completely off the deep end. Since then, not many conversions about petting the kitty.
I’ve heard female masturbation referred to as “diddling,” which is interesting considering that the dictionary definition of diddle is to “to waste time or dawdle,” and the male equivalent–“jacking off”–has acquired a similar meaning.
I just say masturbate. Though sometimes if I feel like being unbearably cutesy, I say that I’m going to amuse myself. My female friends and I talk about masturbating and sex fairly openly.
When I was in highschool we called it “doing the dishes.” That made it really awkward if someone called and you were actually doing the dishes. We also used to call it making soup but that is extremely gross so pretend I didn’t say it.
heheheh
