Frequently Asked Questions
I’ve never done anything like this. What should I expect?
No worries, dude! We get a lot of first-timers and want to ensure you have a great time. Our events are best characterized as social masturbation. We laugh, joke, eat snacks, have conversations, masturbate, and cum. It can be overwhelming to pleasure yourself in a room of strangers, but you adjust when you realize no one is judging you, and we are all doing it with you.
What is a jack-off club?
Jack-off clubs are typically organizations that host social masturbation gatherings, where men can masturbate together and form bonds. Informal gatherings are not jack-off clubs but just as fun.
How many guys attend?
It depends and varies but currently around 20. We don’t focus on the quantity but who attends, which is usually really cool guys. We always have a great time.
What kind of guys attend?
Austin Jacks is an inclusive organization, where all kinds of identities show up for solo or mutual fun, including people who identify as gay, bisexual, straight, demisexual, pansexual, Black, Indigenous, East Asian, South Asian, Latine/Latinx, white, cisgender, non-binary people with penises, trans men, neurodivergent, deaf, blind, physically impaired*, all ages and zodiac signs, in shape, out of shape, underweight, overweight, smooth, hairy, etc.
* We try to choose venues that are ADA-compliant. Sometimes we can’t meet this standard but aim to help however we can. Please reach out in advance if you need assistance.
Is oral or anal sex allowed at Austin Jacks events?
No. Other practices related to consensual masturbation practices like milking and frotting are allowed. Penetrative sex is awesome but best for outside the club.
Will you be playing porn at events?
Sometimes. Typically, guys are focused on each other and find porn distracting. But whenever we are able, we will stream masturbation porn.
What is a bator?
A bator is someone who prefers masturbation as a primary form of sexual pleasure. Gooning, edging, frotting, popperbating are all practices that a bator would participate in.
What is the difference between bator and a side?
A side is typically someone who prefers many sexual practices with a partner, such as masturbation and oral, except anal sex. “Side” is related to gay sexual preference terms like “top,” “bottom,” and “versatile.”
Sides can be bators but not all bators are sides.
Are straight guys allowed?
Of course! Enjoying masturbation (solo or with others) is not based on sexual orientation. All guys of any sexuality are welcome.

Can I my female partner attend?
No. While we love that women would be interested to watch guys bond while masturbating, our events are not co-ed.
Will we be recorded or captured at Austin Jacks events?
For the most part, no. But occasionally, an Austin Jacks host will ask for consent to take your photo for promotional purposes (e.g. social media). We respect anonymity and follow the general rule of not including your face in any photos or videos. Your privacy and safety is very important to us.
Are alcohol and drugs allowed?
No alcohol or drugs are allowed at our play events. We will occasionally have purely social events at breweries or other vendors with alcohol.
Do I have to touch or be touched?
No. Our events are consent-based. Every person that walks through the door is given a rundown of the rules. Consent is the most important one. If you don’t want to be touched, practice declining kindly. If you want to be touched, practice asking and instructing how you want to be touched.
Do I have to be naked?
You do not have to be naked. Undress to your comfort level. However, most of us will be naked.
Can I be cummed on?
Absolutely. Ask your bate bud to cum where you want to be cummed on. If you are cumming on someone, kindly offer a towel.
