My hands tend to shake, possibly from excessive masturbation. I recently watched a video where a guy was caught using an electronic male masturbator by a woman and the scene went to a happy ending. Anyways, it got me thinking — if I switch to using a device like that, could it help reduce my hands from shaking? What’s your opinion on electronic toys? Do you think they’re a good alternative?

    When it comes to sex toys, it all depends on your kinks and preferences.

    You can try an electronic masturbator, or perhaps you can simply tape a fleshlight to a table and thrust into it. A massage gun can be fun, too! A shower with a strong concentrated stream of water can emulate that vibration as well, and simplifies cleanup. Maybe experiment with a dildo or butt plug; gay men have been on it for literal millennia, and I can say from experience that it feels amazing (with some practice). Perhaps you can get on “dating” apps and get someone to come give you a handjob, if that suits your fancy.

    You can also just try changing the way you touch yourself. A different grip, or even a different hand, perhaps? Or try rubbing the head of your penis with your palm in a circular motion for something intense (lube recommended). Are your nipples sensitive? They can be erogenous zones for some men, so it might be worthwhile to try playing with them.

    Lots of ways to achieve an orgasm without putting the same strain on your hands, but like what others have said, unless you’re a professional that wanks 8 hours a day, it’s probably not the masturbating that’s causing the pain.

    consider a hand therapist, which is a subset of physical therapy.

    If you’re interested in finding out, why don’t you buy one and try for yourself? They’re not that expensive (at least the non-electronic ones)… I hear some people like it. And I mean if you’re not fond of the current situation, you should switch up things and try something different anyways.

    (Edit: I’d get a cheap one, see if I like it and the either throw it in the trash or have learned something and then decide if I want some $250 device with all the bells and whistles and buttplug.io integration. But YMMV on that.)

    I used to be unable to hold my right hand still in the air without slight tremors, and I noticed how it went away some months after I quit playing this one mmo with excessive clicking. Phlebotomy is so much easier with a calm hand. Maybe the toy would help if it’s hands-free?

    Adding this fun read because I know hands do get numb from holding strongly vibrating things for excessive periods of time: https://www.cdc.gov/niosh/docs/83-110/default.html

    Moreso in your jerking hand, or both? Not that I have any qualifications to answer further – better to check with your doctor how serious it is.

    Yeahhh kinda seems like a medical thing you should talk to a doctor.

    Your hands shake for some other reason which you should have checked out by a doctor. Snappin your carrot doesn’t cause your hands to shake.

    The shaking might be an essential tremor (I have one and it’s hereditary in my family). It’s usually a benign condition but you should talk to your doctor in case it’s something more serious as it can be related to brain tumors or other shit you really need to jump on.

    There’s no relation to masturbation but, hey, if you want a sex toy then buy one.

    Masturbation won’t do that, you should probably go to a doctor. Also, give a toy a go if it sounds fun!

    Just out of curiosity, I would like to hear what link you thought exists between excessive masturbation and shaky hands.

      Bro spends so much time jerking it he thinks his hand is just like that now.

      Right? Everyone knows masturbation makes you go blind or grow hair on your palms.

      Gotta be honest. As I read this comment, and it began asking for a link, after OP was talking about watching a porn video…I really thought you were going a whole different direction with your question…

    I mean…for everybody in these comments who are making OP feel stupid for thinking his shakey hands are related to shaking his dick, might I remind you all that theres a whole generation out there that were discouraged from masturbation by saying they’ll go blind, or their palms will get hairy.

    At least this guy is (falsely) seeing a real cause and effect. He jerks it, and his hand keeps jerking. It’s reasonable to think “I shook it too much.”

    That being said, OP, go see a doctor. Because that’s not a thing. It sounds like you might have parkinsons, or some kind of damaged nerves. I’m not a doctor so I can’t say. But there does sound like some major issue here.

      Who’s to say he has a medical condition? My hands shake for some time after carrying heavy bags, but the shaking stops after a while. Maybe the guy strains his firearms a lot when he’s masturbating?

      While your point about myths is valid, I haven’t seen anybody make fun of him.

      Everyone in seeing is just saying that it probably has nothing to do with that, is curious where that thought came from, and is recommending a visit to a doctor

      Unless there were other comments that got mod removed already and I’m not seeing them?

    the shaky hand was a classic myth passed among old catholics to discourage masturbation

      Which makes no sense. Everybody should masturbate. The girls who try to hold a pill between their knees are the most likely to need a morning after pill from wearing their knees as earings.
