clasp myself around the throat, right-handed

[rollita]

Hi everybody i have a simple question. Somebody is having a shower. The man says: "I clasp my hand around the throat, right-handed, and slide my hand up and down until the soap has gone". Does this mean that he puts his hands around the throat? And on the right side of the throat or what?

Thanx. Rolla

It's a ridiculous sentence, but what the hell ...

As the sentence reads "around the throat" he is not clasping his own throat, as you suggest in your thread title. That would require "around my throat."

Generally 'the throat' might refer to just about anything that can be viewed as 'a narrow passageway.'

In this instance, if it's not the description of a particularly dreary masturbation I don't know what it is.

My first impression was very similar to mgarizona's.

On the other hand, if the text goes on to discuss armpits in equally excruciating detail, perhaps it really is meant literally.

If the text is a translation, that would explain "the" instead of "my". In French at least, it is normal to use an article instead of the possessive to discuss your own body parts. I assume that's true of other Romance languages as well.

Without exceeding the 4-line copyright limit, can you give us more of the context?

That occurred to me too-- it's the same with Spanish and Italian.
