Magic Hands

All the girlfriends I had seem to really like the way i use my hands if you know where i'm heading!. I wonder if bass players especially have a magic touch when I comes to this??

Pfft, I come from a background in computer geekary and fighting games on an arcade stick before bass playing. I have super UBER strong hands. I tell girls about my dragon punch technique all the time, way before I mention I play bass guitar.

But what's the point? Me with no girlfriend right now :'(

I don't follow. Do you mean cooking? I'm quite the chef myself.

If you can do rt hand technique on her special place, she will love you forever. 3 finger triplets will send her into orgasm!

It's definitely a bass thing. Aside from that, have you ever given a massage (back, etc.)? Girls always say I give the best, so I guess it from playing bass. Now, for massages in other places, it also works.

bassplaying and welding (in my case, and a few roubds at the gym) helps build strong arms. Perfect for backrups or other adventures using fingers
