click to enlargeJack off is a widely used term for male masturbation, where a man will wrap his hand around his penis and swiftly pull on his cock until he reaches orgasm, also known as “jerking off.” Men have been jacking off since the beginning of time, and anyone who denies masturbating is a liar.
There are various locations, techniques, tools, devices, and methods to jacking off. Some men will keep it simple, lying on their back in bed before going to sleep and jacking off until they cum onto their own stomachs. A cleaner method usually includes using a dirty pair of underwear, a trusty old sock known as the “cum collector,” or a box of household tissues. This can of course be problematic for teenagers, because Mothers will often start wondering if her son has allergies because they seem to go through Kleenex faster than milk or bread.
More important than the technique or location of jacking off, is the actual content or material used. Before the days of print media, men had to rely on the filth of their own sexually repressed imaginations in order to get their rocks off. Most often, they would jerk off to graphic fantasies of milk maids, the neighbour’s daughter, or a particularly saucy church lady they stare at every Sunday.
But, with the invention of the printing press, came the introduction of girlie magazines. Until the invention of the internet and porno videos, virgin school boys and horny husbands masturbated to magazines such as Playboy and Sports Illustrated Swimsuit edition, relying on a combination of their own imagination and visual stimulation.
Of course, in today’s modern masturbatory society, most men will jack off in front of a desktop or laptop computer, watching countless hours of free, streamed pornography accessible at the click of a button, such as the high quality entertainment posted here at orgasm.com.
Aside from the evolution of jacking off, no one is quite sure where the term came from, but there are a series of suggested theories. Perhaps the most common legend behind the coining of the term comes from a small village in Eastern Europe in 1857. A local farmhand, Jack, was out in the stables tending to the cattle when he become uncontrollably aroused by the farmer’s daughter who was sweating through her smock while she worked in the gardens. Right there in the barn, Jack started jerking himself off as he watched her bend over the ripe, juicy tomatoes and clutch the phallic cucumbers in her hand. As the story goes, the farmer came into the barn, startled at finding Jack “choking the chicken” as he stared at his daughter. Needless to say, Jack was fired and evicted, and within a few days the rumors had spread all over the village of Jack’s exploits. For years onward, school children could be heard playfully singing a local Limerick, “Jack be nimble, Jack be quick, Jack got caught with his hand around his dick.” From this story, it is believed that the term “jacking off” came into being.
