I always prefer to use gloves.

Callouses make jerking off less enjoyable.

i need the caluses anyway for rock climbing, so it doesn't bother me.

There's something about calloused hands when giving a back rub mmmmmmmmmmmmmmm, but soft or rough.....as long as they are st rong...that's all that really matters

I wrap my hands w/ boxing wraps...women should not have calluses

Okay, I'm a homo I guess!! I wear gloves..It wouldn't do me justice while handling delicate instruments to have big ass callouses on my hands..

I wear gloves most days (leg day excluded). The problem I have with gloves is my Valeo ones bleed black dye on me. Anyone know gloves that don't? As far as being wimpy for wearing gloves, I say as long as you workout and move lots of weight who cares. Mark

Doc, due to your proffesion I'd say keep the gloves on bro.

I was wearing gloves up until the first of the year but my grip was gong to pot so I ditched them and have been using chalk. I'll have to say I think the chalk really helps me grip the bar better than the gloves ever did. As for callouses, I've had them all my life and the only thing I don't like about them is they peel all the freakin time.
