All you self-indulgent people

I have a curiosity question since 'where words come from' (etamology) has always interested me.  The main posters to this forum come from all over the world and speak many languages.  Let's face it,  the people in NYC don't speak the same language as us Santa Cruzians.

What expressions do you use for playing with yourself.  I only know the male ones around here:
Spanking the monkey
pulling the putz
milking the lizard
stroking off
shooting for distance
shower joy
raising handy herman

I'm sure these more, especially in other languages/regions.  Please translate if necessary.

How about the girls?  What cute expressions do you have?

I'm a fan of "jilling off" or just plain "jerking it."

Re: All you self-indulgent people

Sounds like you're asking for local colloquialisms, which, unfortunately, are rapidly disappearing as movies, literature, television and the ever-increasing blending of various cultures creates an increasingly homogenized world. It is even more apparent in countries where media plays such a huge role.

In my wide wanderings I've heard:

wanking
beating off
pulling your pud
stroking the bishop
fucking the five sisters
whacking off
jerking off
etc

The most memorable, though, has more to do with having an erection than playing with oneself. The first (and only, though I have used it many times myself when the occasion arises) time I heard it from someone else was from a Sears and Roebuck long-haul truck-driver in Cincinnati, as in:

"Man, I had a hard on so bad I didn't have enough skin left to close my eyes..."

I'd be more interested, as a person interested in etymology as well, in where the various words or terms originated and how they were modified and changed over time. No doubt some go back to middle English.

Yep, that's when I heard it, though told in first person by the truck driver, soon followed by "man, I was just pole-vaulting around the room!"

Re: All you self-indulgent people

I cannot believe that everyone has missed the quote from Gone in Sixty Seconds:

"Yo, so check out my new move, I call it 'The Stranger'.  What I do is I sit on my hand for like 15, 20 minutes, until it goes numb, no feeling at all. And then I rub one out"

A totally horrible American film, but a quote that everyone in my office uses!  "What'd you do last night?  Rub one out?"

My wife belongs to a book writing circle and she posed the question.

'Playing with the goddess'  is all they could come up with.   They believe that women are more romantic and therefore have a straighter view of sex.  it's men that need to distort or re-name things to give them sly innuendo.

Is this true?

If some womman asked if I wanted to see her playing with her goddess, I would start looking around for the doll collection.  Now if she was going to play with her pink pearl . . .I think I would look elsewhere fer sure.

There is a lovely expression in a small area of the UK, which I find adorable and it is used by one of my friends. She speaks to "watering her flower" when referring to sexual intercourse and "opening the petals of her flower" when masturbating. Quite poetic I think.

Re: All you self-indulgent people

My personal favourite is 'shaking hands with the unemployed'. I have to say I prefer 'saying hello to Mrs. Palm and her five lovely daughters' preferable to 'fucking Mrs. Palm'. I had a girlfriend who found the term 'choking your chicken' extremely amusing.

Re: All you self-indulgent people

sperm banks know cum not only freezes, it thaws in working condition even years later.

The balls in brass monkeys are cannon balls.  During the days of sail, they were stored on deck as ready ammunition useing cast iron pyramid frames called 'monkeys'.  Fancier ships used brass monkeys because they shined up so well.  But when extremely cold brass shrinks more than cast iron and the balls fall out.  Hence 'cold enough to freeze the balls off a brass monkey.'
