Mutual masturbation is a sexual act where two or more people stimulate one another sexually, usually with the hands.

This may be done in situations where the participants do not feel physically able (or that it is socially appropriate) to have full sexual intercourse, but still wish to have a mutual sexual act. It is also done as part of the full repertoire of sexual intercourse, where it may be used as an interlude, a form of foreplay or simply as an alternative activity to insertion.

Mutual masturbation is practiced by people of all sexual orientations. If used as an alternative to penile penetration, the aim may be to preserve female virginity or to prevent pregnancy.

The techniques of mutual masturbation resemble those of simple masturbation, with the exception that one is stimulating another person, rather than oneself.

Mutual masturbation may or may not result in one or more of the partners achieving orgasm. If no body fluids are transferred, mutual masturbation is a form of safer sex. As such it was encouraged among gay men by some safer sex organisations in the wake of the AIDS scare of the 1980s, as an alternative to anal or oral sex.

Mutual masturbation may also be carried out with or without removing clothes, for instance by rubbing against one another. This is also known as frottage.

Mutual masturbation can also be generalized to group masturbation scenarios such as a circle jerk, where a group of people either take turns to masturbate or all masturbate simultaneously. An alternate form of this is called a line jerk, where two or more men are standing in a line masterbating each other, either facing one another or not facing one another.
