A sexual act involving two consenting adults that advances masturbation to the pinnacle of possible techniques.

In order to perform this act, each participant must sit on their non-dominant hand until normal sensation subsides and then commence to pleasure the genitals of the other participant.

Correct execution of this artful technique delivers the sensation of being twiddled by somebody else, by somebody else, by somebody else and by somebody else.

Get the Ships passing in the night mug.
When you meet someone of the opposite sex who is incredible and you have such a fantastic time but only for a short period. You both go your separate ways wishing you could stay together longer. Normally when you meet someone away from home. You part with fond memories of each other.
Stu: I have to go now, but I loved spending that time with you, you are incredible.

Mary: Its sad, just consider us as ships that pass in the night.

Stu: Ok Bye.

Mary: Bye.
