Not to toot my own horn, but between experience and making an effort to continuously refine my technique, I excel in both areas.
Rather have a handjob than a blowjob any day.
*thumbs up*
Hand jobs are a favorite because I love the intimacy of working his stuff while looking into his eyes and speaking with him during the session. Usually, I tell him how good his cock feels in my hand, or compliment the hardness, or even taking a moment to tap it against my palm or bounce it and watch it, *boing*, snap back straight up :09:. But, asking if he likes a certain stroke and watching for cues as I switch it up - such as his leg bouncing with long, slow strokes or his meeting my stroke with hip thrusts when I reach the best rhythm tells me a lot about his body and orgasm response.
There's definitely a power element as well, because I am in control of his pleasure, and can wait until he's hard and throbbing then stop all stimulation at my discretion or throw in the two-handed twisty stroke no one has ever lasted more than a few strokes with... :wink:
However, main thing is, it turns me on to watch his response and adjust to tease and extend the session, move him to a quick climax, or delay/deny, but keep him on the edge of an orgasm during a 20, 30, or 40 minute HJ.
There are many benefits to learning how to take command of your man's cock and working it right - not the least of which is gaining a perspective of how he pleasures his own body, an awareness that will only improve bjs and intercourse, imo.
