Pick the right type.

The first thing a man needs to do is decide what type of solo-sensual experience he is looking for. Does he want to recreate the “circle jerk” experiences of his youth and simply be around other men who are fondling? Or is he more interested in a mixed experience, in which he can be excited by the sight of women self-stimulating as well? This will determine if he chooses a males-only or mixed gender club.

Male-only clubs are typically called jack-off clubs; those which encourage participation from both genders are often known as jack-and-jill clubs. (There are, of course, female-only clubs, but men are by definition not welcome in those.)

It may seem that straight men would be interested only in mixed gender clubs, but that’s not necessarily the case. Some men may feel uncomfortable self-gratifying in front of women and may feel more at ease bonding through a solo-sensual experience at a males-only club.

Follow the rules.

Straight men interested in a males-only situation but worried about activities beyond self-pleasuring should know that clubs have rules. These rules usually define what activities are allowed and what are not. Each club will have its own set of standards, but the following are those found at most typical self-pleasuring clubs.

Self-pleasuring only. Although a self-pleasuring club is by definition an environment in which there is sensual excitement, most emphasize that the only form of sensual activity allowed is self-gratification. One may be tempted to engage in or ask for oral stimulation or female organ or posterior penetration, but in most clubs this is not allowed. (If a person wants to ask a willing partner to their own home for these activities, that is a different story.)

What about touching or being touched by another person? Some clubs are fine with it, some have a “hands only on yourself” policy. However, whatever the policy, it’s important that such activity occurs only between two willing participants. No person should be touched (or kissed, etc.) without his/her consent.

Keeps your clothes off. Again, this policy can vary, but most clubs require participants to doff their clothing before entering the main action area. (Often shoes or socks are allowed.) This is so participants don’t feel self-conscious. A person may observe and not self-stimulate, but if doing so causes a person to feel self-conscious, he or she should move on.

Keep it clean. Hygiene is important, so men are responsible for cleaning up any male seed they spray upon the premises.

Consideration is key. Being unclothed in front of other people can be a huge thrill – or it can be a challenge. Be mindful that all different body types will be on display and avoid being rude or judgmental about those with body types not consistent with one’s taste. Also, be aware that privacy is often an issue. If a man sees someone he knows at a club, be aware that that other person may not want to be acknowledged.

Self-pleasuring clubs allow a firm male organ to engage in its favorite activity in a new setting. Men should ensure that their equipment is at its healthiest by using a quality male organ health crème (health professionals recommend Man1 Man Oil). Make sure dry skin is not an issue by using a crème that includes both a natural hydrator (like vitamin E) and a high-end emollient (like Shea butter). And a crème with a powerful antioxidant like alpha lipoic acid can help to offset harmful oxidative processes that can leave the member looking wrinkled and aged. If it’s going to be on display, make it something to see.
