Out of no where she asked my mom this, these are her exact words. "why do people prefer the right hand over the left?"

Because it is best to have a girl give you a hand job with the right.


Yeah, whatever.

heh, if you are a comp-masturbator like most of us on here, you have probably to some extent learned to use your left because ur right is the clicking hand

Same with me. It makes people more interested in you.

"Oh my god, you're left handed?! That is soooo cool!!"

Anyway, how old is your sister?

Because instead of thinking, people just prefer but most people do. But why do most people prefer being right handed? Because other people prefer it too.a

Of course, being right-handed has several advantages, since many things are made to be used using the right hand.

Anyway, left hand FTW!

I was ambidextrous when I was little, but now I'm left handed for most things.

Actually, besides the obvious (genetics) nobody really knows exactly WHY it is that human beings, or any other creature for that matter, would develop a preference for one hand over the other. I mean, there's certainly no evolutionary advantage to favoring one side over the other.

Can YOU explain why people are right-handed or left-handed? Don't even bother, because you cannot. I know right now that you'll be answering the question of HOW people are right-handed or left-handed instead of WHY.

Perhaps she was asking why, genetically, some people are more predisposed to using their right hand over their left? Or is not a genetic predisposition at all, and we grow up simply favoring one hand over the other? If it is genetic, what biological function does being left-handed vs. right-handed serve?

Doesn't sound like a dumb question at all.

Nah, right hand is better. My right arm is kinda stronger than my left arm, and I do the things better with the right one. You are proably used to use the left hand, it's your opinion. But for me, the right hand is better.

Right hand is better for masturbating

Stupid little teenagers. When will you learn that sexual activities are NOT the most important thing in life. Anybody makes a comment about hands, and you go insane with the masturbation comments.

Just. Stop.

Me too, when I was younger though but now I've gotten a hang on just doing stuff with my left. Then, when I broke my left hand I had to do things with my right but after it the left held I was still using my right because I got so used to it. And now I am a left hander again.

That's exactly what I was thinking--you just put it into better words than I could currently do.

So yeah, I don't see how asking this question is dumb--it sounds like a genuine question.

The right hand is easier to use and the left hand is like an outcast.
That is my answer.

Depending on how old she is, that could be a valid question. If not, she's a moron.

Strange question, and I'm a lefty for almost everything except for playing guitar, because getting lefty guitars is a hell of a lot harder, truly.

Well, explaining how is easy enough. Its the first thumb we suck in the womb. But as to why, there really isnt a why, because we can train our non-dominant hand to function just as well as our birth dominant hand.

I think otherwise. when me and my gf were driving by a cemetary she asked me "is that where dead people live?"

I remember that someone told me that people develop a favor of one hand over the other because of how they were given things to hold as a child or how they held things as a child out of comfort.

Now, I never saw myself as a child, nor can I remember with what hand I held things, but I'm left-handed, so that must have been my favored hand. But, at the same time, conditioning can effect how you use your hands. My grandfather, for example, was naturally left-handed, but that was considered odd in his school, so the teachers would slap his hand if he tried to do things with his left hand. Because of this, he became right-handed out of sheer fear of punishment.

Doesn't sound like a dumb question at all.

Yea I know, but posting it here with that title would get most of the little pre teens here thinking of faping then the genetic reason why people are left or right handed.

left handed bitches!
