No name for it until I heard older boys at school talking about "wanking" - it's been "wanking" for me ever since.

WANKING the very word gets my juices flowing

At the tender age of about 13, I first heard of is as jacking off. As I met and talked to other guys, they came up with other local names for it. With my wife being from England, it was called "wanking" to her. What ever she wanted to call it was just fine with me, as she loved to do it with me. I also got pretty good at getting her off in a similar way. We both loved it.

My buddies and I always called it jacking off...and when we came, that was called shooting off

Always call jacking off or stroking it, shot a load here.

It has always been jacking off for me. We used to call it busting a nut.

AS a young Catholic boy the term "self-pollution and self-abuse" was sometimes heard at lectures. I didn't think much about it until I began to masturbate on a daily basis. To my best memory it was just called jerking off.

Great question but as I look back " jacking off " was the preferred term and it's still my preferred term.

Early on it was "spanking the monkey" or "Chokin the Chicken", later it just became beating off or jacking off.... still is today.

It's always been jacking off. My college roommate and I did call it wanking as well.
