Handjob is a term that describes the sexual stimulation of a partner's penis using the hands and fingers. The manual stimulation of a female partner's sex organs is usually called fingering.

Handjobs may or may not end in ejaculation or orgasm; they may or may not constitute the entire sexual encounter. They may be part of foreplay or part of or a precursor to other sexual activities. They can provide sexual pleasure to a partner when penetrative intercourse is not possible or desirable.

Little physical effort is required for a handjob, and the male is not distracted by the effort of thrusting or the need to stimulate their partner's sexual organs. A handjob can incorporate a large amount of stimulation and variety and, as with other forms of sexual stimulation, the giving partner can receive significant pleasure and sexual arousal from the act of providing pleasure to their partner. Performing a handjob can be exciting for the giver, as they can directly observe the sexual excitement and physical reactions of their partner.

Handjobs are often the first form of sexual contact between inexperienced partners.[citation needed]

A hand job can be given with or without lubrication. Without lubrication, a gentle sliding of the shaft's skin up and down may also be effective but may take longer to produce orgasm.

A handjob given at the end of a full-body massage is also known as a 'happy ending' (as popularized by the HBO sitcom The Mind of the Married Man). [1]
