Masturbation

When I first read the topic for this week’s lecture I was surprised. I knew that masturbating, as most other sexual activities had been considered “forbidden territory” before… But I couldn’t really see the point of it now. It’s not bad, in fact - it’s great. Kind of a perk of being human; the ability to have orgasms, whether it’s with the help of someone else or all by yourself.

Then I googled the word and damn, there are some tragic (but admittedly funny) discussion threads out there! Some of which just cannot be serious! I’m not trying to offend these poor people. If you don’t know something – by all means – ask! But I kind of thought that in this age of instant information and sexual awareness, most people would know that jerking off does not cause cancer or hair loss or whatever. The best (or should I say worst) sites were religious though. Here are some tips on how to stop masturbating from the Mormon lightplanet website. Enjoy.

In general, perhaps some improvement in the sexual education in school (or at home) would be advisable? Maybe something like this for the boys (of course I found absolutely nothing of interest for women): Masturbation lesson from Showtime series Weeds

Also, I know I’ve already used Stephen Lynch as an example once, but this one is just too much on topic to ignore: Talk to me
