The Wank Sock. A True Thing, or an Urban Myth?

[HirplesWithHaggis]

Chatting this afternoon, the topic of the Wank Sock arose. I have young adult sons in their 20's, my friend has an 18yo boy. While they all do their own laundry these days, my friend and I recall the days of the balled-up socks randomly distributed around the room, which we just chucked into the washing machine and unballed when clean, for fear of, well... biological samples tbh. And I don't mean snot.

But realistically, how would one use a wank sock? Would it be placed upon the member like an overgrown, ill-fitting condom, or just used to catch flying fish? If the former, wouldn't rubbing yer delicate man membranes with trainer-sweaty cotton/wool/polyester/blend of same be a bit sore? I mean, gently caressing with clean silk, I can see a certain frisson there, but teenage boys don't often own silk socks.

If the latter, why socks, specifically? Why not T shirts, underwear, or the more traditional (if less environmentally-friendly) Andrex Man Size? (Other brands and sizes, including pocket,are available.)

AIBU to think the wank sock is no more real than the Tooth Fairy?

(Yes, recent NC, been around for a while though.)

this made my day...
A sock which fits over the cock, no mess

I'll ask DH when he's home, I've found some crusty socks in his bag.....

I'd imagine they put it over their hand ?

Like doing a foreigner where you make your hand go numb my sitting on it.

I have a 15yo and I still do his washing

by sitting

Putting it over your hand still means you're rubbing delicate bits with quite rough cloth, surely it can't be fun? I have heard of sitting on your hand so it feels like someone else though, had that convo with another friend (male) some years ago.

I am now reviewing the sorts of conversations I have with friends...

I've got an 18 yo DS who still lives at home and a 20 yo who comes home at weekends when he can. They have never used "wank socks" to my knowledge. If they have they have binned them, they haven't left them on the floor in their rooms or put them in the laundry baskets. I, very helpfully, put a box of tissues on their bedside tables.

Wouldn't sitting on your hand give you pins and needles and feel awful?

Asked DH and he burst out laughing at that

So can I sign up TheFairyCaravan as a "Yes, it's mythical"?

The friend nextdoorneighbour who told me about sitting on your hand already had some nerve damage to said hand, maybe that made a difference? (He also claimed to have a very pretty penis, but I never asked for proof.)

Def not mythical, 4 teenage or older Ds's here, when challenged a few years ago Ds1 admitted to the wank sock usage ( it followed a mumsnet thread which had been a total eye opener for me and did explain why his socks were so crusty, my colleagues all agreed it was a thing)
Just grim

I've always thought of it as an urban myth.

Oooh, that's interesting Rosie, if yes, a bit grim. Did he go into the mechanics of it at all?

(Yes, I realise the answer is likely to be "No" but my curiosity has now been piqued.)

My DS's socks were fairly crusty, but I still maintain that's trainersweat.

Haha! You couldn't move your hand properly if its dead/pins and needles, could you or is that just me

I've just been enlightened to what a Posh Wank is: A lubricated condom nonetheless. Apparently it does feel like someone else's hand

Now, I can see the appeal of the posh wank, all slippery and no mess to clean up.

My 18 year old self had a 23 year old boyfriend and yep he definitely used a wank sock. I picked a damp sock up of the bedroom floor and sniffed it to see why it was damp. It had the distinct aroma of semen so after much running from me finally admitted that was what he had done. Lovely place to leave it.

Wank Sock This thread reminded me of these. Not that I purchased one for the office wanker for a secret santa or anything

But how did he use it, youmakemydreams? How?

What material is the Wank Sock made from?
The sock is made using the highest quality wanking material available to humanity. 70% cotton, 28% polyester and 2% elastane.

See, that's just not soft enough, is it?

This is a guess but I assume they don't fit it over top but rather just use it to wipe up spillage. There's always a dirty sock around and a dock will only ever touch the feet so not quite as gross as, say, wiping it in a t-shirt.

For the purpose of the thread I have just asked DS2, he said he has not used a wank sock but can think of boys who probably do!

I tried it in my teens. Didn't feel very good. I used to just do it on the bed. Gross when I think about it in hindsight, I'm much cleaner now!

So MissMedusa, you think it's less skanky to wipe spunk on a sock than on a tshirt dh and I have never done that, no even though both will be washed before next being worn? (And yes, I'm sticking to that story, any version which involves picking off the crumbly stuff and re-wearing will not be countenanced.)

Thank you for your dedication, TheFairyCaravan!

I thought a posh wank was when you got the candles lit and displayed yer magazines (pre-internet) in a fan-shaped display before you perused them.

A few xposts... I love the wicker basket of muslins, that should be in every 5 star hotel bedroom imho.

TheRestofmylifeiswaiting please tell me you are joking. Proving and laundering washable wank cloths for your partner is beyond the usual expectations of marriage or of environmental conscience.
