Self Love

Recently I heard a public health worker give a talk about deploying. As if going to war is not fraught with enough danger, apparently there are those who are having, shall we say, "urges". The public health worker mentioned how to manage that with another safely, but also said "the safest way to settle those urges is mast**bation". People are UPSET that she brought it up! And interestingly enough, the commentary people are making to me is that men do that, not women. So I am curious what the take of this crowd is on that subject.
	No way .... naturally or nothing!
	No way ... it's a sin
	It's fine for guys .. they need it (I am a woman)
	It's fine for ladies .. they need it (I am a man)
	It's fine for anyone ... we are human!
	It's the only s*x I get
	I'll make a comment

Hi LapKittie,
I'm VERY curious to see the final results of your survey!!
It's amazing how many prefer to act like masturbation doesn't exist, or that it's 'dirty'.
How Victorian!!!
Kind of like premarital sex and pregnancy used to be considered only the girl's problem.
Sighhhhh!

GooGle [masterbation]. See the 'hits'. Just now got 7,330,000!

For those that don't. "How doit know"? If you can practice bowling, or any other activity by yourself. Why not that? You know 'Improve you abilities'.

Lowe's and Home DesPot aren't the only stores that cater to the Do It Your Selfers' (DIY). Many a little out of the way boutiques have tools, even battery operated ones (toys?), for women AND men (that aren't found at the those BIG stores). Somebody has to be buying them.

Bottom line: Life isn't about what others think you should do.

DIY!

imalright.......I did see that episode. It was considered very daring. They never actually said the word. I was going to tell a funny story about myself and the master baiter, but i will save it for another time.

cool ....that's what I liked about the seinfeld show they covered everything without actualy saying anything directly ....larry davids curb your enthusiasm is very funny too but because it's on hbo they say everthing which to me isn't as funny ....the thing I like best about curb your enthusiasm is ...no laugh track.....I find laugh tracks extremely annoying

imallright I saw that episode too. Poor George only doing what comes naturally. The huge todo his mother made of it leads me to guess that's why she's so uptight.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion but I am still surprised that it is still considered a sin in some circles.
For me sex is such a pleasureable and natural experience to be enjoyed equally by both sexes.
Masterbation forms an a very enjoyable and integral part of my sex life, something to do on your own or share with a partner, whatever takes your fancy.
