How to not masturbate during interviews

Hey guys,So I'm in the process of recruiting for a variety of firms right now but I keep having a problem (especially on zoom) where I just unintentionally put my hand in my pants and start tugging at my genitalia. I don't know why it happens but it's really becoming an issue, especially when the camera is pointed a little lower and the interviewer can see my arm move rapidly. Any advice?

Ok, here’s what you do. Start off the interview making a protein shake, add in your mix and tell the recruiter you’re just shaking it up, but that you hate clumps and it takes a while so hopefully he/she doesn’t mind. Once you’ve done that, set it aside, and you’re free to go!

Bonus points because since you’re going to shake that protein shake ;) for over 10 minutes, it’s likely the recruiter will steer away from the technical questions and ask which shake you use as it really does take a long time.

10 minutes?
