My first poll ev-ar. I'm curious.

I'm left-handed.  But this is something that I was talking about with my friends a couple of days ago... and I just thought I'd see what everyone here is.

And I figure this is a flame-free topic, too.

More importantly, which hand do you use while jerking off?  While right-handed, its the left that knows how I like it.

I'm really strongly left-handed... so I pretty much use my left hand for everything, including masturbation... except for some specialized tasks like carrot peeling and stuff like that.

I've tried jerking off right handed before, and it feels weird.  Like, not in a good way weird.

But, it always feels better when someone else is um...peeling your carrot.  So, your right hand should feel oddly like a stranger helping you out.

It doesn't.  It feels like I've suddenly gone stupid and don't know what I'm doing.

Edited to add:  "Carrot peeling" is by far the most disturbing euphemism for masturbation I've heard in my life.  And maybe the most clever.

I used to refer to anal sex as sticking a geranium in your hat.  There was a book about a woman with 3 kids who manages to overcome a life of adversity and disappointment as one child was alcoholic, the other a doper, and the third, a homosexual.  The book was entitled, "Stick a geranium in your hat and smile..."

I am seriously RIGHT handed.

When I was a little boy, I started taking piano lessons.....it took about two years for me to be able to get my left hand "coordinated" enough to strike the notes that appeared in the music.   

Also, strangely enough, many years later when I developed severe DVT and blood clots, they were in my LEFT leg, and my left foot is in much worse shape than my right.

Weird.   I always get a kick out of watching people write left-handed.  The people I have known who have the prettiest penmanship seem to be righties.....how's your handwriting Benj?

Matty, as always, has enunciated my position to perfection. The only thing left to add is that all those deviant anti-manualists need to be sent to re-orientation camps before they're allowed to proliferate.

Being the sadistic lout that I am, I insist all southpaws be sent to catholic school, preferably one run by a convent.

Nuns are great for breaking southpaws of their nasty, antisocial behaviour. They now carry special titanium rulers to bash the knuckles of those who dare challenge the right-handed norm.

I'm right handed, but went through this phase years ago where I jacked off a lot.  I did it so much that I was afraid my right arm would be significantly bigger than my left.  It was a bit bigger, so I started using my left hand.  I use my right mostly now, but I'll use the left for variety.  It's very convenient to be able to jack off oneself and another person at the same time at different paces even.

On another note, I was beginning to have pains in my right hand from my pc's mouse.  I started using my left hand for mousing, which was easy to learn to do.  I used to smoke left handed and still drink left handed.  I think I'm more versatile in handedness than I am in sex!
