Masturbation Proclamation
The pros of an erotic pleasure

For centuries masturbation has been described as an activity for heretics. Even today many people are taught that it is degrading and psychotic behavior. However, regardless of what religions or parents tell you, masturbation has several benefits. The argument for the individual’s right to self-satisfaction rests on three premises: pregnancy and STD prevention, increased autonomy and better focus.

One of the most thorough deterrents to becoming pregnant or obtaining a sexually transmitted disease is to abstain from sexual behavior. However humans are sexual beings; it would be degenerate for us to ignore or deny our carnality. Avoiding this corporeal side of ourselves abates our growth. It is impossible to become intelligent, rational beings without grasping the implications of the action that brought us to life: sex. Therefore, the best manner of avoiding sexual consequences is masturbation, during which an individual is able to explore sexual organs and that otherworldly sensation called an orgasm.

If there is any disturbing factor of an orgasm, it is only that one will not be enough. Masturbation proves especially useful at this point. Masturbation requires no partner and can be performed as many times as a person wants. In a sexual relationship, one should not have to rely on the whims of another person.

Sexual thoughts are distracting. When intimate thoughts concerning sexuality come to mind, it is often difficult to focus on a task. Because masturbation can be done at almost anytime and in any place, it is a convenient form of release. Individuals in charge of their own faculties can easily find privacy, massage themselves to euphoric bliss, and return to the task at hand in a matter of minutes.

Masturbation’s only disruptive factor is the possibility that it will be preferred over the real thing. This can cause problems in a relationship where one person is so hungry for human affection that he or she is psychologically dependent on their partner’s desire for them. A problem can also occur if one person is so insecure that he or she feels unworthy because one partner does not depend on the other for pleasure. In fact, a person may become extremely jealous if one lover is able to please him or herself while he or she is in need of assistance.

I had a chance to speak with a young woman who was once in a relationship where this occurred. The man involved, at first, loved to watch her masturbate and was extremely excited by it. As time went on, however, he would become outraged that she did not wait and “save herself for him” so he could please her. She told me that, at the end of the day, she could not give him the pleasure he was seeking. She was not going to live an inhibited lifestyle trying to please others. The self-worth he was seeking through pleasing others was something she could not give him; he had to find whatever kind of worth that was by himself. She had no problem having sex with him; however, when the need arose and she could handle things faster, with more efficacy, she would. She was a busy, goal-directed woman who did not have time to allow anything to slow her down. “Besides,” she said, returning her eyes to mine after glancing down at her right hand, “no one can do it like I can!”

as long as she's on her knees, she can pleasure herself as much as she likes in my book.

Do any of you watch Desperate Housewives? I was reading a magazine the other day and Teri Hatcher and Eva Longoria from the show announced that the best sex they've had in the past year was with their battery operated toys...and then Teri Hatcher went on to say that she has two (a bunny and I can't remember the other kind). Wow...ok, so it's cool if you use it...but I would never ever announce it to the whole world. What if her parents read it? How embarrassing!

I guess you missed the thread on Greekchat, where several ladies proclaimed what they considered to be their favorite.

It's not about her parents grounding her...just that it's not something you share with a magazine that the whole world reads. I wouldn't want my parents to know that I had a bunny vibrator and it was the best sex I've had in the last year....some things are better left shared with your friends, greekchat, work buddies....just not all of America

But, she's on a show that's pretty racy. One has to expect that the subject matter is pretty par for the course, no?

Why? I say go nuts - I'll admit it, masturbation feels good. Hope my mom doesn't read greekchat, she might find out!

I see nothing wrong with pleasuring yourself. If it feels good, do it! Mr. Bunny knows that I will occasionally if he's gone, and he knows where I keep my stuff. If he didn't already like masturbating, I'm sure he'd learn to after Baby Bunny gets here. I've never had a lack of a sex drive (might explain why there's gonna be a Baby Bunny in the first place ), but I know for a fact that I am not gonna be in the mood for anything after changing diapers and doting on my little one all day every day.
