If humans had 8 arms, we'd reserve one for back and butt-scratching.

I'd reserve at least 2 for wanking

I would reserve two for not wanking.

That leaves a possible 6 other arms to be reserved for wanking!

... I might have been overzealous at estimating how many arms I would need for walking. One part-time is plenty.
