I’m right handed but I’ve always masturbated with my left hand. I’ve long assumed it was because my left hand felt so different than my right hand, it was closer to the sensations of another person’s hand. What about y’all? ---

Why not sit on your arm until you lose all feeling in your hand and then masturbate? It will seem like someone else entirely. ---

A clumsy lover does nothing for me. ---

> [@running\_coach](#): > > A clumsy lover does nothing for me. Is this in response to me or BlankSlate? lol Jerking off with a numb hand sounds not so conducive to inducing pleasure. It sounds more like distracting yourself from an mild problem by inducing a larger one. Sorta. Well, no, not really. But still, numb would be different AND bad. How good could a hand be that has no sensation? Clumsy is right. haha ---

No, but I HAVE learned to type and navigate a mouse with my left hand. ---

I would think that anyone who grew up with computers would automatically use their non-dominant hand. But then when this comes up, it seems a majority use the dominant. I don’t get it. Plus having your most adept hand completely clean afterwards aids in cleanup ease. ---

> [@Gatopescado](#): > > That’s called “The Sleeper”. > > I’ll take that as a “Yes”. 😉 It’s funny, because I prefer left-handed masturbation over right handed but I HATE hand jobs with a partner. And I hate them because not only are they totally different hands on my penis, they are ignorant as to how to use that foreign hand to induce pleasure. So it’s like my left hand is a stranger who can also read my mind. 😛 ---

I’m right handed and generally prefer “dating Miss Michigan.” That would be the right hand which forms the “mitten” parrt of the state. Sometimes I swing with Miss Upper Peninsula or invite them both for a threesome. Using the right hand to point out state locations within the lower peninsula is an [actual thing.](http://bigthink.com/strange-maps/454-michigan-the-hands-on-state) The UP piece is not something I ever saw used. Dating Miss Michigan is an actual euphemism for masturbation. Mustard plug’s “Miss Michigan” is now running through my head. :smack: ---

I’m right handed, and I play pool and masturbate left handed. In the 15th century I’d be considered a renaissance man for this. [Next page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/who-else-masturbates-with-their-non-dominant-hand/810152.md?page=2)
