Why is JOI so Popular?

JOI (jerk off instructions) videos are everywhere. It is one of my most requested styles of videos. But what is JOI and why are videos in this general so popular? Let’s explore…

What is JOI?

JOI stands for “jerk off instructions” but what actually constitutes JOI is somewhat vague. JOI can mean anything from actually telling the viewer how to touch themselves and how fast to stroke (literal instructions) to a broader definition that may be considered dirty talking to some. The basic concept is dialogue along with a general understanding that the viewer is pleasuring themselves while they watch whatever is happening on the screen.

You may ask, do men not know how to jerk off? Why do they need instructions? Well, of course men know how to jerk off. That’s not really the point. JOI is so much more than that.

Men enjoy permission to jerk off

Consent can be really sexy. And hearing someone encouraging you to do something indulgent feels good. It adds an extra level of enjoyment. For someone who masturbates for a living, it is a bit of a challenge to relate to those who have some guilt about masturbation and watching porn. But I imagine it’s pretty hot for a guy who has been told masturbation is bad to hear a woman give them permission to jerk off while they watch whatever is the woman is doing. Perhaps a repressed childhood is not even needed to find that sexy. When the person on screen encourages you, it feels more like a shared experience.

Men Like to Practice for the “Big Time”

There is a running joke in movies where an inexperienced male character is unable to last long enough to please a very sexy female character. His lack of experience is cause for laughter as many jokes are made at his expense. Needless to say, no one wants to be that guy (or with that guy). JOI videos, especially those with speed recommendations, may help guys to improve their sexual endurance. Or at least that is the idea

A popular style of JOI videos are “JOI games.” Red light/green light is a popular game. Basically the concept is to bring the viewer close to orgasm and then have them back off before the orgasm is achieved. This is also called edging. Men often report that edging, or delaying the orgasm, can make the moment that much more explosive when it finally happens.

JOI is a New(ish) Experience

While pornography and sex work is by no means new. The concept of personalized porn is relatively new. Historically, a lot of pornography is naturally focused on watching others have sex. But with the availablity of video cameras and editing software almost anyone can make a porno. And many creators make solo videos for their fans. It is probably impossible to find the world’s first JOI video. But it’s likely that it is not that old. As is it likely emerged with the concept of personalized porn. Sites like Manyvids and Onlyfans make it easy for you to connect with thousands of content creators that are able to make the perfect video just for you!

So what should you look for in a JOI video? Anything you want! There are plenty of JOI videos available to browse through. If you are getting a custom JOI video, make sure to give the creator some idea of the things you like to hear. It helps them to know what tone you would like them to use. And perhaps a few key phrases. That will allow them to use their creativity while still providing the best experience for you.
