Usually specific to soldiers, or other people who are forced to live in close proximity for long periods of time without either sexual activity or privacy, a jack shack is a
small shack made out of blankets, ponchos or poncho liners that is erected so that the builder can
masturbate in relative
peace. It is often explained away as a means to block light, or provide privacy to change, despite being erected almost exclusively around one's sleeping quarters.
