Haven't heard of "death grip?" That’s OK. Not many
people have, despite it being a widespread masturbation practice amongst
penis-having people, far and wide. And not only widespread, but dangerous. Not
in the life-threatening sense, but in the can-mess-with-your-life-and-be-super-annoying
sense.
The term "death grip," as it pertains to
masturbation, was originally coined by the pioneering sex columnist Dan Savage.
"It refers to men that masturbate with an overly tight grip on their
penises—or in any fashion that applies a LOT of pressure, like humping a
mattress—who later go on to have difficulty orgasming during partner sex,”
explains Sarah Martin, MA, a certified sex coach. It can also lead to an
inability to orgasm and issues maintaining erections.
This means you might be gripping your penis with your hand
so tightly, that having sex with a partner (intercourse, oral, etc.) can feel
unexciting or under-stimulating for you. Let’s be real, a vagina or mouth is
never going to be as tight as a hand. This is just science.
When your penis isn’t feeling sensation (or very little), it
can be a pretty terrifying thing—especially if you have no idea what’s going
on. One day you’re getting off to your favorite hardcore porn, and the next
day, when faced with an opportunity to have human-on-human contact, your penis
isn’t doing “what it’s supposed to.”
Here is everything you need to know about death grip, why we
do it during masturbation, and some solutions to ensure it doesn’t interfere
with your sex life.
