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 [edit]
Circle jerks are typically an experience of adolescents, teenagers, and college students. Often, they feature a competitive element, with the "winner" being the participant able to ejaculate first, last, or farthest depending on the pre-established rules.[1][2] They can serve as an introduction to sexual relations with other males, or as a sexual outlet at an age or situation when regular sexual intercourse with a girl is not possible.[1] Circle jerking may or may not involve physical contact with others in the groups. Masturbating other participants, or stimulating other participants' penises or scrotums often occurs. Non-penetrative sexual rubbing against another participants body may also occur, or frottage. Frottage is when two penises (or more) are rubbed against each other. This may jokingly be called 'sword-fighting', which usually involves the competitive element of trying to make the other participant ejaculate first.
Motivation [edit]
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]
