Masturbation Tips & Techniques
The following male masturbation tips & techniques are presented in the event that your partner wishes to participate or more fully understand the semen collection process. Most sperm banks (including California Cryobank, Inc.) allow you to bring your partner with you during the specimen collection.
From personal experience, increased volumes of semen as well as higher concentrations of sperm were obtained if I abstained from sex for 36 - 48 hours prior to collection.
1) Write your name on the lid and side of the sterilized specimen jar.
2) Carefully wash your hands with soap and water, and dry thoroughly as dirty hands could have a negative impact on your sperm.
3) If possible, the male should lie down on his back in a supine position. Besides being more comfortable during the collection of the semen, a more powerful orgasm resulting in a larger ejaculate volume often results from this position. Furthermore the prone position allows the specimen bottle to be held at a more natural angle during ejaculation (as opposed to sitting in a chair and attempting to masturbate into a specimen jar upside down or pulling the erect penis downward in a unnatural position during ejaculation).
4) Don't use a lubricant, as it's harmful to sperm.
5) Remove the jar lid, and arrange the jar so that just prior to ejaculation, it's within easy reach.
6) Just as your about to ejaculate, place the specimen jar at an angle to your penis. Do your best not to miss or loose a portion of your sperm while shooting into the specimen jar during orgasm. If the collection is for sperm storage, (as opposed to a sperm count) milk out the remaining last drops of semen into the specimen jar.
7) Upon orgasm and collection of your semen, carefully place the cover back on the jar. Keep the jar upright, at room temperature, and out of direct sunlight. Transport to the lab as soon as possible.

A few popular slang names for male masturbation are beating off, jacking off, slapping the monkey, wanking and wacking off.
Some of the more popular masturbation techniques are the Fist, the Five Finger and the Three Finger grip. Most men have mastered these techniques by fourteen years of age. If your partner wishes to participate it is suggested that you both practice collection techniques several weeks prior to actually arriving at the lab. If your a big shooter, your partner should be made aware that during ejaculation the semen can travel several feet, in multiple jets, and that placement of the specimen jar is very important for a good collection.
THE FIST
In this common technique, you simply wrap your fingers around the shaft of your penis like a baseball bat and rub it up and down. It provides maximum contact between your hand and penis. This technique is good if you have a fairly large penis; if it isn't much longer than your fist is wide, you won't be able to stroke it very far, so another grip might be more effective.
THE
FIVE-FINGER
In this technique, your hand and arm form an angle with your penis, with four fingers on top of the shaft at a diagonal and your thumb below. This allows you to get more control over the hand-to-penis contact, and it lets you move your hand along the entire length of the shaft, even if your penis isn't very large.
THE THREE-FINGER
This one is good for those guys with smaller penises. Simply hold the penis as you would a pen or a pencil. This grip allows maximum control and maximum distance of motion (from the base of the penis all the way to the head). The hand-to-penis contact is less than with the other grips.
For the ladies, tips on performing male masturbation:
1) Remove the man's clothing
2) Grasp the penis in hand
3) Use one of the methods described above
4) The point isn't squeezing... but stroking. Don't be shy girls, give it a literal pounding, stroke it firmly, with authority. (remember that the head is the most sensitive, and the base is the least sensitive portion of the penis)
5) Feel free to massage the testicles
6) When the male is approaching orgasm ( you'll know it) DO NOT STOP....in fact increase the rate of stroking and grasp firmly until the orgasm is fully completed. Be prepared as guys are capable of shooting their semen from several inches to several feet, usually in multiple jets.
