Do You Have A Dominant Hand In Bed?

We all have certain preferences when it comes to sex. Lights on, lights off. Covers, lingerie, even the side of the bed you like to be. While hanging out with some good friends, another question came up.

Do you have a dominant hand in bed? My friend J brought this up because normally he right-handed, but in bed, his lefty is the boss. Whether he's performing solo or doing the bed tango with his partner, his left hand is deft and detail oriented while his right hand just hangs out.

I've never thought about this before. Obviously J has. It's fascinating how his dominant hand in bed is no his dominant hand in his daily activities.

I mean, my husband can cut his steak (not a euphemism) equally well with his left or right hand. Not the same concept as bedroom play.

We further analyzed J's observation. Did he hold his "literature" in his right hand when he masturbated as a teenager? Nope. Is it because he had to turn his back to his bedroom door just in case someone walked in on his extracurricular activities? Nope.

We never did figure it out, but it made for great conversation.

What about you? Are you a lefty or righty in bed?
