So! I’ve been meaning to post a poll about this for a while, and now I’m finally getting around to it.
I am right-handed. I do almost everything important with my right hand.
Except hold my dick. That’s my left hand’s job. When I pee, I hold my dick with my left hand. When I masturbate … left hand. This is somewhat inspired by a conversation I had with a boss I had 25+ years ago; he was telling me about his divorce from his first wife, and an argument he had with her lawyer, in which he said, “My right hand is a better woman than she is, and I’m left-handed!”
I’ve held my dick in my left hand for as long as I can remember. To me, this makes perfect sense from a logical point of view. My right hand is my “detail” hand. Anything complicated, from what I do at work, to what I do at home, my right hand does it. But my left hand is my “gripping hand”. My left hand holds whatever my right hand is working on. So it holds my dick, and my right hand has nothing to do with that. I’ve found I can’t masturbate with my right hand. It just doesn’t work, and I feel like I’m cheating on myself.
So, poll! Do you “hold” with your main hand or your offhand?
I’m basically right-handed, but have been turning more and more mixed-handed as I’ve aged. Never given it much thought, but I definitely do everything concerning my dick with my left hand. As a teenager, masturbating, I learned that my left hand felt better than my right. Now I couldn’t use my right even if I wanted to.
My right (main) hand. But I rarely jack off with my hands. My penis isn’t all that sensitive. I need additional stimulation. My thighs, scrotom, perineum, and anus needs to be stimulated also. Humping a pillow usually does the trick.
I pee with my left dick, and jack off with my right dick.
Being privileged to live in a home with indoor plumbing, I can use either hand with either dick, given that I can always wash up immediately afterward.
You ipsi-junk people are weird. And a majority/plurality! People make fun of Americans for switching your fork hand, but I ask whether you all switch your mouse hand when googling goatse. And then you go clean up using your gross hand.
And my definition of mumblety peg involves the moves:
Stab.
Stab stab.
Stabbity Stab.
and Lance Hendriksen-style stabstabstabstabstabstabstab.
Just like to say, ignorance fought with this one. I would never have guessed in a million years that a large percentage of guys ‘hold’ with their non-dominant hand. And of course, in a million years I would never have thought (or wanted) to ask!
Part of the reason I started thinking about this was related to scissors and pencil sharpeners. Yeah, scissors and penises in the same conversation probably doesn’t go down very well. But … the point is that many products are designed with the assumption that the user is right-handed, since right-handers are in the majority. And one of those products, like scissors and pencil sharpeners, are commodes. Almost every single commode I’ve ever used has been set up with the flush handle on the left. They are designed with the assumption that the male user is right-handed and must be “holding” with his right hand. It’s the same reason that the hot water knob on your sinks are on the left. Before indoor, running hot water, there was only one knob on a sink - the cold water knob, and it was on the right to cater to right-handed people.
But I’m a professional cook, and, as such, germs are constantly on my mind, for food safety purposes. And I realized that I am having to flush with the same hand that was just holding my dick. Well, I don’t have to; I could use my right hand. But instinct and muscle memory rule, and I flush with my left hand, while realizing that I may be transferring any “dick germs” to the handle.
