Getting Off. What's your technical definition?

So I had a Zoom chat with the boys at the weekend. And after a few beers, we inevitably get on the subject of women. During the chat, the numerical numbers game came up and my ears were surprised to hear what my friends termed as "getting off".

Some of them regarded a snog as "getting off".

Others some tit n arse finger fiddling.

Whereas my personal definition is the old chap has to go in and out and come out with a majestic slathering of fanny batter. Aka intercourse.

Whose right? Do I revise my figures up now?
 
You have zoom chats with your guy friends? Is this something people do?

I don’t even like talking on the phone with my friends unless it’s an emergency or something

Once a month. Talk bollocks. Drink a beer. Moan about Football. I hate phone calls, but good to see some friendly faces for an hour or two.

Probably making out.

I have always thought of it that way. That is the furthest I've ever gone really, so makes sense. It largely depends on your own experiences I would think, and how inexperienced you are compared to others.

I’m glad I don’t have any friends if these are the types of conversations guys have with their friends.

What is this in English?
 
I'm having trouble following your language, but in my native tongue of American, getting off means cumming.

I guess closest would be..."Make out" - but with sprinkles. I did laugh this appears as a suggestion.

Unless modern slang changed when I want looking, getting off means having an orgasm. It doesn't matter the method.

I blame coomers for the destruction of language!

Might depend on where you live. In England when I was growing up people always used to say 'getting off' in reference to snogging someone.

Should have mentioned this should be aimed at BritGAF since in the US we don't use "getting off" the same way UK does. "Getting off" means cumming.

Up until 13yrs old, "getting off" was snogging an light petting

After 13 I never heard the term again, since I wasn't a virgin or a beta, what grown man says getting off? Weirdos

My friends always gave me shit over my OCD ways, but I HATED when I passed my controller to them and they “greased” it up with their fucking sweaty ass hands. This Gamer Goo might be good for that and for something else, too. Too bad I just sold my PS5 or I’d try it out.

As a British person only teenagers say "Getting off" to mean snogging, as an adult it's assumed you shagged there's no bragging rights for kissing a woman as an adult.

I haven't actually said that since I was a teenager, but if a mate told me he got off with a bird at a club I'd assume he still meant he snogged her.

Hey, remember clubs? Remember large gatherings of people indoors?
