About

JO Crystal or Jack Off Crystal refers to a viral, photoshopped Craigslist post seeking out a man to masturbate with while wearing crystals in order to "recharge" the poster's "JO crystal," which he claims gives him confidence at work, home and in social situations when properly charged. The screenshot was originally posted to the Something Awful forums on April 29th, 2008, garnering viral spread over the following years, becoming the subject of redraws and referential memes.

On April 29th, 2008, Something Awful[5] forum user Jon "@fart" Hendren posted a photoshop of a Craigslist post that consists of side-by-side photos of a crystal on a necklace and a shirtless man. The post, titled, "charge up and JO – 38 (Houston)," reads:

The crystal I wear around my neck contains an essence that gets recharged when I jack it with a bro who also has a crystal. It gives me confidence at work, home, social situations, etc. Nobody knows it's a JO crystal but me and my bros. I have seen it glow white while jerking it with a bud thats how I know this is real. You can come over for as long as you want but I need a picture of you preferably wearing a crystal before I waste my time.
