There are no-handers and there are no-handers. They can be done in several ways. Suicide, tuck, and the popular way of letting your hands flap, like Tommy does them (just kidding Tommy, we love you).

Handjes laten wapperen is a no-no. Here's the diagram and a comment: "It's the same motion you make when your knees buckle and you fall forward when a guys dick goes too far in your asshole, that's why they have it all dialed and shit"
