Masturbation
Dry hump on chair
Originally Published: December 08, 1995
 
Alice,
I don't masturbate in the traditional male method of stroking, but rather, I use a dry-hump method on the edge of a (usually) cushioned piece of furniture (for instance, a chair).... now, my question is two-fold... is this weird, or a common method? and is there any risk involved to my groin area? -- In love with chair

 

Dear In love with chair,
No, this method is not "weird." Actually, the dry-hump method of masturbation is used by many men. There is no risk to your groin area (unless, of course, you're rubbing against spiked furniture). Every once in a while, though, you may want to masturbate manually with your hand and a lubricant, so that if or when you have intercourse, you will know the feeling and be able to be stimulated in the more "usual" way. It is possible to get so used to one method, that a particular stimulation becomes necessary for your enjoyment. See Alice's answer to Boyfriend has trouble ejaculating for more information on the possible effects of masturbating the same way for long periods of time.
