Rockability said: HAHA. Prince knew that JAck u Off was a male term and that is why he got off using it to describe giving a woman an orgasm. He does the same shit with "Head." He says, "I'll give u head." He wasn't talking bout a guy. But, Prince wanted the audience to think it.
Actually, I've heard the term "head" to describe cunnilingus MANY times. I've never heard jacking off describe a woman masturbating, however, outside of this song.

Krystal666 said: Well actually I don't necessarily think Prince wanted people to be all that confuseing if he was talking about a boy or a girl he was doing sexual things to. In Head he clearly is having back and forth banter with Lisa and In Jack you off he clearly says "girl..". Honestly I just think he say the stupidity of reserving slang words like head and jacking off as strictly for males. We live in such a male dominated society that sexual slang is/was only reserved for men after all they are the only ones where it is acceptable to be sexual and like sex right If you are a woman and enjoy head or jacking off you are somehwow less respected...after all that is just not normal for a woman to enjoy those things :sarcasm; I just think Prince saw the silliness in just reserving sexual slang for men when women like oral sex just as much as men and he knew you can masterbate a woman too...so he was like "well not only can a man be masterbated but a woman can to so why can't jack you off just be a genral term?? Fuck it I'm gonna use it to mean masterbating a woman. See this is what I love about Prince....saying to hell with societies rules that are sexist, homophoic and just plain segregating and doing whatever he wanted...all a while thinking about pleasing women. I LOVE that man!!!!!
I don't agree with this at all. There are plently of terms used to describe masturbating a woman ("fingering" and "finger-banging" being the most prominent). In fact, your assertion that there are only male-related sexual slang terms is not really true.

Well I don't think finger banging would really be accurate when a man is playing with a woman's clitors which is how I always imagined that is the way you masterbate a woman. | |

Houston '81 version is hot I just wish they woulda played Private Joy a little longer before going into Jack U Off I've also wondered why "Annie Christian" and IMO the best song on the album "SEXUALITY" didn't get played more on that tour. [Edited 4/13/05 11:57am] | |

Maybe the "she" in question was really a hermaphrodite--which makes me recall a certain Steven Lynch song.

Oh, get over it, will you? Prince can write a song without it relating in any way to his own life. Everything he writes is not a direct experience of his -unless you're going to tell me Lil Dude sits around knitting pink cashmere sweaters, while he hooks up with random masturbating chicks in hotel lobbies named Nikki who like to play in the sunshine on a daily basis? Maybe he'll make you come while his dad attempts suicide? Maybe, just maybe, all this takes place on a graffitti bridge under the light of a cherry moon? Therefore, "Jack U Off" could very well be about a hermaphrodite or trans person. It's a possibility. And IMO, you really need to chill the fuck out. You've shared your experience being a femme guy and having people make assumptions about you, but you are not the Defender of Prince's Sexuality. So what if someone suggests P. might not be entirely straight? I'm sure if Prince had a problem with people questioning his sexuality, he would've made it clear from the beginning that he's only into women, and not played with a feminine image or gay innuendo like he has so consistently. Get over it, Prince has. "A Watcher scoffs at gravity!" | |

"Jack U Off" wasn't the first time Prince has confused listeners with a decidedly gay lyric.The Time's first single is titled "Get It Up",a phrase that is usually said by a girl to a guy...
example: "get it up,get it up,I can't wait anymore"----Vanity | |

"Is she a mister or is she a miss? Does she stand up when she's taking a piss She's my little girl yea she's my little guy When I try to please her I get poked in the eye." Also, lots of gay men refer to other gay men as "she". I'm not saying that's what Prince is doing but it is a possibility. Andy is a four letter word. | |

Prince was neither naive, retarded, or ignorant. Nobody asked for Mark Brown's interpretation.
Prince is unconventional and re-inventive. He breaks the connatations of words all the time and recasts their meaning -- cuz he's free like that. Jack you off is not an inherently masculine term anyway. The idiom derives from ejaculation, which women can do too. Women have clits that Prince can jack off. I'm sure some clits can rival the penises of many men. So deal with it. Prince wasn't the naive one; he was in a patriarchal society who apparently didn't fully understand female anatomy. Now, going to jack off. . [Edited 4/16/05 8:36am] | |

True story (I think):
When this album came out, Michael Jackson asked one of his friends what "Jack U Off" meant. When he told him, Mike went "ugh, that's disgusting...I could never write a song about that". The Org is the short yellow bus of the Prince Internet fan community. | |

U jack off a girl by rubbing her clit with your finger. As Krystal666 said: Why cant jack u off be a general term to mean masterbating a woman?
