If you're in the US, Thanksgiving is a big deal.

Officially, it's a one-day thing - this year, it falls on Thursday 27 November. But anyone who can will also take the Friday off work and turn it into a 4-day weekend.

How are you celebrating?

For us, Thanksgiving is all a bit tired. But what if we reinvented the weekend as Wanksgiving? That's the kind of event that gets our full attention!

What is Thanksgiving?

Thanksgiving is essentially the US version of the harvest festival that is celebrated across the northern hemisphere at this time of year.

The US holiday is rooted in the history and traditions that emerged from the Protestant Reformation.

The mythology is that the tradition began in 1621 when puritan pilgrims in Plymouth invited the indigenous Wampanoag people to join them for a harvest feast. The reality is a bit more complicated.

An annual day of Thanksgiving was declared a national holiday in 1863.

Today, celebration of Thanksgiving generally revolves around the sharing of a family meal, although there's also lots of parades and events and church services that get wrapped up into local traditions across the country.

What is Wanksgiving?

It's not clear who first coined the term "Wanksgiving" but - for anyone with masturbation on their mind - its a pretty obvious play on words.

What would I rather be doing instead of sitting down for a family meal with the relatives? I would rather be wanking.

Whatever you call it - bating, gooning, stroking, or just spending some quality time with your penis - men masturbate, so let's celebrate that.

There's no rules to Wanksgiving - it's more of a state-of-mind. It's an opportunity or permission or motivation to prioritise masturbation above everything else - however you want to enjoy that.

How should I celebrate Wanksgiving?

This is a 4-day event, so try and pace yourself a little - you'll need some stamina to ensure that you bring your A-game to every stroke session.

You also want some variation. While any opportunity to bate and goon is awesome, why not see Wanksgiving as an opportunity to try new things or mix it up a bit so that you're pushing your body into new ways to experience penis pleasure?

Day 1: Thursday, 27 November

If you've got a family meal to navigate around, this may be a day where you don't get too much time to yourself. Embrace the challenge of that. You'll need to masturbate opportunistically. For example, it could be in the bathroom at your Aunty's house while everyone is sitting around the table. It could be at a truck-stop as you drive across the country and your family is waiting for you in the car. It could be after lunch when everyone is asleep so you have to sneak outside to rub out a crafty wank.

If you don't have a family meal to navigate, you can still embrace the theme of opportunism. Where is an unlikely place to masturbate that you could explore? Could you masturbate somewhere that the risk of getting caught is relatively high?

Day 2: Friday, 28 November

This is an ideal day to find a bate buddy.

You may have travelled back home to spend thanksgiving with your family. You've taken Friday off to make a weekend of it. You're back in your hometown with time on your hands.

There's going to be lots of guys in your neighbourhood who have done exactly the same thing.

Whether it's guys that you went to school with, or just suburban dudes with time on their hands, send a few DMs and let the neighbourhood know that you're ready to stroke and looking for a bate-buddy.

Day 3: Saturday, 29 November

Take it outdoors.

Sure, the weather is cold but after a couple of days with the family you're going to be going a bit stir-crazy. Get some fresh air and look for opportunities to bate outdoors.

Offer to take the dog for a walk, or find a local park with some walking trails. As soon as you can, get your dick out and get stroking.

If the weather is too bleak to consider exposing your penis to the elements, why not take it online? There's a couple of major platforms dedicated to bator communities, or you can just connect with other batters for some virtual communal masturbation.

Day 4, Sunday, 30 November

Pay it forward.

Before you call time on Thanksgiving and wrap up your Wanksgiving celebrations to return to your normal day-to-day, why not look for opportunities to connect with the younger members of your family?

It could be a cousin or a nephew - look for opportunities to bring up the topic of masturbation. Let them know that you're cool about bating, let them know that you've been celebrating Wanksgiving, let them know that you'd be up for giving them some coaching or mentoring if they wanted to improve their stroke game or just have a quick bate together sometime.
