Circle jerk (sexual practice)

Circle jerk (sexual practice)

A circle jerk is a sexual practice in which a group of men or boys form a circle and masturbate themselves or each other.[1] In the metaphorical sense, the term is used to refer to a "boring or time-wasting meeting or other event".[1]

Description

Circle jerks are typically an experience of adolescents in early puberty and often feature a competitive element, with the "winner" being the participant able to ejaculate first.[1][2] They can serve as an introduction to sexual relations with other males, and are a sexual outlet at an age when regular sexual intercourse with a girl is not possible.[1] Where the heterosexual frame is adhered to, each male masturbates only himself, and touching another participant's genitals is forbidden.[2]

Motivation

While circle jerks feature a homoerotic element, some analysts interpret adolescent boys' group activities such as circle jerks as an effort to establish heterosexual, masculine dominance within the group.[1][2][3] What actually motivates participation is to have friends witness and acknowledge one's sexual prowess, helping to counter teenage feelings of inadequacy related to sex.[3]
