Airbating

(Verb) 1. Airbating, like playing air-guitar, is when someone forms a circle with the tip of their thumb touching their finger tips of the same hand, as one would do when wrapping their around their penis to masturbate. Then that person moves their hand, in an exaggerated motion, toward and away from their own crotch repeatedly - again, as a male would when partaking in the self-pleasuring act of masturbating. This gesture, known as "airbating," is often used in the same context one would use their middle finger to flip the bird, or flip someone off. It is to say "fuck off" or "go fuck yourself." 2. The second connotation for the gesture of airbating, is when it is used from one person to another about a third person. In this context, the airbating gesture is used when the first person wants to indicate to the second person that the third person is just a jerk-off who's wasting the second person's time (not to be confused with procrasturbating). 3. The third and most obscure use of the gesture of airbating, is when a person (usually a woman) preforms the airbating gesture toward a man, to encourage him to masturbate. This is part of a fetish known as JOI or jack-off instruction. In this context the airbating is performed by a woman (often fully clothed - see CFNM) gesturing to a man with a positive connotation, to encourage the recipient of the gesture to masturbate or to continue to masturbate in front of her.
