A hand release is a sexual technique usually done by a masseuse or masseur on a person by stimulating their erect penis to produce an orgasm and ejaculation. A hand release can also be done on a woman by stimulating her clitoris to produce an orgasm.

A hand release after a massage is called a “happy ending”. A release before a massage is called a “happy beginning”.

There are different types of hand releases. The most common is the “hand job” – stroking of the penis to produce orgasm. A “French” release is a blow job. A “Swedish” or “Russian” is a release done between a woman’s large breasts.

Hand releases on males are usually done after the massage – the therapist uses a lubricating solution to stimulate the erect sexual organ. Massage oil or cream is usually used, but other sexual water based lubricants, such as Astroglide or KY Jelly can be used.

Institutions that are involved with massage education and licensing are very much against hand release during a massage session because in many places it is illegal and can be termed as a form of prostitution. However, it is very hard to arrest a masseuse or masseur for giving a hand release; and although the act of hand release is considered illegal it is rarely if never found out by the legal or licensing authorities.

Licensed massage therapists usually don’t do hand releases because of legal or ethical reasons, but there are many professional who don’t see anything wrong with them and will gladly do them once they get to know you better or for an extra fee. Massage therapists have to be very careful when they offer a hand release out of fear of being caught and arrested by an undercover police officer. This is rare though.

The release of loud flatulence while urinating.
The old guy at the urinal had no qualms with a gentleman’s release. It was loud and repugnant.

I did a gentleman’s release earlier and I’m thinking now it may have been a little wet.

Catch and release - n - the practice of hooking up with someone and not becoming emotionally/physically attached to them.

As a result, other people have a chance to hook up with this person because he or she has been "caught and released" back into the wild.
Ben: "Yo I nailed this girl last night"

Dave: "So are you going to call her later?"

Ben: "Hell no man, I practice catch and release. That way, you can have a shot with her next weekend."

Dave: "Thanks Ben. You are a great person and a noble gentleman."

The term used to describe a sexually attractive (but underage) teenager. It derives from the practice of tagging wildlife. The understanding is that the stud is out of bounds at his current age, but that you'll be back to claim him when he's legal.
