OP don't feel bad. The first time I gave my guy a hand job it sucked. My arm got sore really fast and he had to help me. Eventually his arm got sore, it was not a good time. So don't feel bad, it happens.

never use just your hand... it never worked for any girl on me

WOW! I've heard of girls saying that to guys when they use their hands but never the other way around!

what a prick. ask how you could improve or find someone that appreciates your efforts

Handjobs aren't worth it by themselves. If you're going to do it, make damn sure it leads to something better. That way he'll know what's coming (lol?) and it'll be easier for him to get hard. But OP, you must deliver.

That's sad. In a lot of ways.

learn how to do it. Damn! its not that damn hard.

rookie

With any new skill, you're only as good as your teacher. He obviously sucks at communicating what he likes.

next time try your mouth!
