How do you give a hj?

This was originally posted under the 'Oral Sex' category alone, so may we assume that this is about a "hand job"(or manual stimulation/manipulation of the gentials with the hands)?

If so, while making out with your guy, put a hand on his chest and slowly move it down to his pants and rub him gently(don't unzip his fly yet) till he is hard; then unzip his fly and rub him with a rhythm that he likes.

PS: Make sure your fingernails don't scrape or poke(unless he likes it and it's intentional) and watch any jewelery(which can also be used to good effect if you know what you're doing); a bottle of lotion or other form of lubrication might be something else to use.

There's a bunch of different techniques depending on what the specific guy likes...you can always ask him what he likes or get him to show you, etc.
