How to Make a Great Jerk-Off Instruction Vid

How to Make a Great Jerk-Off Instruction Vid

You just received a request for a JOI video, and now you’re wondering, “How do I even start? Not to mention finish.”

First things first: JOI stands for “jerk-off instructions.” Many fans love it when creators provide explicit instructions on self-pleasure, so it’s a frequent request. In a JOI video, the creator guides viewers on the precise steps to take for self-gratification. These instructions are typically highly detailed and explicit, often delivered directly to the camera.

Be highly specific, employing dynamic action verbs to render your guidance more vivid, fostering the sense that you are really right there with them.

Different Types of JOI

When it comes to JOI videos, you will encounter all types of buyers with all types of tastes. Some might want you to praise their manhood, while others crave small-penis humiliation. Here are some variations you should know about:

  • Orgasm denial JOI: Elevate the intensity by bringing your viewer to the brink of climax — and then expertly denying them release. This is a true domination play where you seize absolute control over their pleasure. The choice to grant or refuse their orgasm becomes your exclusive prerogative.
  • Role-play JOI: Who exactly is giving those instructions? Is it you… or is it your viewer’s stepmom, stepsister, teacher or boss? This kind of role-play can add a whole extra layer of excitement, provided you feel comfortable with your viewer’s particular role-play kink.
  • Cosplay JOI: Leveling up the role-play by becoming a fan’s favorite character can elevate the fantasy, enhance visual appeal and boost your own confidence. JOI may be primarily about verbal instructions, but never underestimate the impact of visual stimulation.
  • Small penis humiliation JOI: As mentioned above, some viewers might get off on explicit and demeaning commentary about the size of their anatomy while you guide them through the act. This niche caters to specific tastes and requires a delicate balance between titillation and humiliation.

Before you start creating your JOI video, ask your customer what they would like to see in it, what kinks turn them on and any other questions that will help you understand what they are looking for. With that information, you’ll be ready to start the creative process.

Planning the Script

Not everyone is a pro at improv. If it helps you to have a script, write one with a clear direction in mind. This will eliminate awkward pauses or hesitation, and help you take charge of your client.

First, determine how long the video should be, and allocate time for each element of setup and execution. Consider factors such as how often you’ll instruct them to pause, the duration of ball play and more. Meticulous planning will not only streamline the filming process but will also contribute to a seamless and commanding JOI viewing experience.

Start off with a captivating introduction, setting the mood with a seductive, alluring tone to immediately capture your client’s attention and immerse them in the desired atmosphere. Foster anticipation by gradually teasing your viewer with a glimpse of what’s in store. Utilize vivid and descriptive language to paint an evocative picture of the enticing scenario you’re about to unfold.

After cultivating anticipation, provide explicit instructions. Clearly communicate whether you want them to use their entire hand around their member or opt for a more nuanced approach, like using just a finger and thumb. Be highly specific, employing dynamic action verbs to render your guidance more vivid, fostering the sense that you are really right there with them.

Consider incorporating specific features and kinks. For example, orchestrating their climax precisely with a “cum countdown” from 10 to zero is a favorite among enthusiasts of dominant JOI. In the absence of specific preferences, consider imparting wisdom on proper self-pleasure techniques and avoiding premature climax. Culminate with a thrilling finale that leaves your viewer utterly satisfied and fulfilled, a memorable end that’ll have them coming back for more.

Getting Fully Into Character

Now that you’ve nailed the script, you will want to plan your outfit. Depending on what your client has requested, that might be scanty lingerie or remaining fully clothed. Your choice of clothing may also depend in part on your personal style and brand.

Next, get into the right mood. If you’re making a domination video, work on embracing confidence. For a softer, more loving JOI, convey a vibe of sensual submission. Rehearse by speaking directly into the camera with teasing words, or even recording a short promo clip that previews what customers will get in the lengthier, paid version.

Recording the Video

Talking to your camera or phone in an intimate manner might initially feel awkward, but if you adopt a specific persona, such as envisioning yourself as a seductive teacher corrupting a college student, you’ll likely find it much easier to assert control and confidence.

Keep your favorite dildo within reach, so you can visually illustrate your instructions to steer your viewer in the right direction. Or pick another toy for mutual masturbation, commanding them not to be distracted and to maintain eye contact with you.

While recording, sustain engagement and deepen the experience by varying your tone and pacing. Employ strategic pauses, whispers and enticing moans to infuse the interaction with excitement and sustained anticipation for what you might say next. Skillfully use your voice to guide them through the final moments, building toward the climax.

No matter the particular content a fan requests, it’s vital to come across as natural as possible. Vary your voice, adding variety to your script, stay attuned to your fan’s desires and you’ll soon have JOI clips flying off the digital shelves.
