I had posted this in the other HFO subreddits a while back, so you might have seen it before. However, it is now going to be pinned here in r/HandsFreeO to ensure it's accessible to everyone. I also tried to make it more gender-neutral, as I know many female users of Reddit want to enjoy HFOs as well.

Here's a little more in-depth description of how I achieve a HFWO. I do this all handsfree, from start to finish! It seems really difficult or impossible to believe, but I will state that I have been at this for 8 years. The very least I was able to do in that time was find pleasure in complete handsfree masturbation, especially through things such as r/Mindgasm. For my first ever HFWO, and all those I've had after, my process worked as follows:

1. I almost always wear compression shorts when doing handsfree edging. They feel good to me and keep my precum in one spot. Whenever my dick runs over that wet patch (which grows with time, mind you), it gives me an extra kick of pleasure. If you are able to find a method that provides you with the same, then by all means, go for it! I know a lot of people suggest a free and open dick, but I've seen plenty of successful people with cockrings and such. It's all about what makes you feel good and keeps you there.
2. I usually start out by getting myself aroused with some mental fantasies, just to get myself hard and a little wet. Whatever gets your turned on and gets your pulse elevated is what you're looking for here. Don't think of anything "endgame" (i.e. actually cumming) just yet. Just imagine something like foreplay. I stay in this stage for about 10-15 minutes.
3. After I'm turned on and feeling good, I like to get some audio/visual content going. I'll find some of my favorite porn or maybe some guided HFO hypnosis files. I've never been one for Shibby, but it seems to be a popular audio set, so check her content out if you'd like! I'd say I consume some good content for about 20-30 minutes here, maybe longer if I lose track of time. It really is about how you're feeling and how good your sensations are. If you're watching porn, I've read that imagining yourself in the position of your preferred gender role really helps get those good sensations going and to keep them peaked.
4. I find it more difficult to refrain from touching my dick at this next stage, but this is where mental strength comes in. You'll probably be wanting to just finish the job and jerk off manually, but you need to remind yourself of how good it feels to just ride the edge. Think of how good your genitals feel and they might be buzzing with pleasure. Start imaging those more "endgame" scenarios now, or at least the acts leading up to it. You want to be really turned on. This usually lasts for 5-10 minutes while your pulse increases and you start feeling really good and aroused. While you might want to start clenching or manually twitching your genitals at this stage: DO NOT! It will most likely ruin your progress. Your genitals might start twitching or clenching on their own, and that's fine, but doing it intentionally takes focus away from your arousal. You'll be getting very turned on here, so keep your mind on how good you feel.
5. Again, the further you go, the more you'll probably want to manually finish. DO NOT DO IT! This is why a lot of posts say to give into your arousal, and they are absolutely right. This is the time to accept those feelings and give into just how good you feel. Your private area might be tingling. Enjoy it. Your heart might be pounding fast. Let it. Keep your mind open and just let go of those thoughts you have about actually cumming. It seems counterintuitive, but remember: the more you force it, the less likely it is to happen. Give into the pleasure and ride those waves
6. Once you start accepting those sensations, you might feel a new sort of pressure in your genitals. This is when you're close to the famous "point of no return." Some HFO success stories note that this is where one should apply a slight squeeze to the muscle near their anus. Don't be too forceful with it, but it may just be enough to get you over that little hill. It did for me. Just apply a small little bit of tension and let yourself enjoy those feelings. They should be feeling incredible by now. For males, you might be feeling tension along your frenulum (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frenulum) , which is a pretty good indication that you're about to cum!
7. If all goes well, you should be able to have an HFWO!

I cannot guarantee this will work for you. It just so happened to work for me, but everyone is different! It's a lot of trial and error, but with any luck, you'll get there well before 8 years. You're on Reddit reading this, so you're already in a fantastic place for learning. I recommend checking out other posts for other tips and tricks that helped people have an HFWO. A combination of techniques might be just what you need for success!

Please feel free to DM me, if you'd like. I will try to answer comments on here as best I can. I wish you luck in your journey to an HFWO!
