The Stranger
A technique that uses physical positioning to temporarily numb the hand, creating a sensation of being touched by someone else.
How to do it
Begin on your hands and knees. Lay your dominant forearm flat on the floor and rest the weight of your head directly on it. While in this position, use your other hand to stimulate yourself until you are fully erect. The goal is for the weight of your head to cause your dominant hand to “fall asleep” (become temporarily numb). Once the hand feels tingly or numb, switch hands and begin stroking with the numbed hand.
Safety Note: Only use the weight of your own body/head to achieve this effect. Never use rubber bands, strings, or any artificial methods to restrict circulation, as this can cause permanent nerve or tissue damage. Do not maintain the numbing pressure for more than a few minutes.
Why it works
This is a variation of the classic “Stranger” technique. By temporarily reducing the sensation in your hand, your brain struggles to recognize the tactile feedback as “self-touch.” This sensory disconnect tricks the mind into feeling as though a different person is performing the action, providing a psychological novelty that can enhance arousal and break the routine of standard masturbation.
