    Guys: how do you dry beat? I've (24M) heard from friends and on the internet of whacking off without lotion. I first started in the shower when I was younger so that was never my introduction. I've given it a shot before, but don't even know how it's possible. I'm circumcised and there's way too much friction. Don't get me wrong, I would much prefer if there wasn't a mess but I literally don't know how it's possible and it's not like the homies could give a demonstration or anything
