Why Masturbate??

The first and most obvious reason is that it feels damn good! If it weren’t for the ‘anal-retentive’, ‘holier-than-thou’ groups that condemn anything one does for sexual pleasure, we would be a far saner society. It is my opinion that whenever sexual tension and frustration build to a fever pitch, man is more likely to engage in violent and destructive behavior. Especially those who are living alone and don’t have sex regularly with a partner are more at risk. Sexual desire is one of the strongest urges man possesses.

I remember the warnings that the old-folks used to give to young boys as to the dangers of “self-abuse,” everything from hair growing on your palms to going hopelessly insane. Boys were often punished severely for fondling themselves. In a child’s mind, how can something that feels so good be so bad? Fortunately for me, my parents were not of that ilk and I was never made to feel that playing with myself, (in private) was anything shameful. During adolescence I must admit that I probably engaged in the practice of “jerking-off” nearly to excess as I often did it several times a day. However, I feel that the frequency one masturbates is up to the individual. I am 64 and still enjoy a daily session at close of the day to help bring on a restful sleep. My doctor also encourages masturbation as a good way for older men to keep their prostate healthy and reduce the risk of prostrate cancer.

I am also fond of ‘mutual-masturbation’ and when available, enjoy masturbating with a good friend. It is one of the most intimate and enjoyable acts two friends can share. And, it doesn’t mean that it is an exclusively “gay” act either. Two straight men can enjoy it together just as well. From the junior high locker room after gym class to the clubhouse locker room at the golf course, men check each other out when naked together. Penis comparing is a natural curiosity among men and boys. Enjoy each other without fear of being ridiculed and if the desire is there, enjoy masturbating together.

I am quite certain that there would be far fewer sex crimes in this country if masturbation were encouraged as soon as the sex urge developed in youngsters, both male and female. Being sexually satisfied is a good thing so whenever you feel that stirring in the groin and the circumstances warrant, take that tool out and give it a good whacking…you’ll feel great when that orgasm occurs and be all the healthier for it.

Who knows? Maybe someday people will be free of their uptightness concerning masturbation and we will even enjoy a “National-Masturbation Day”! How totally cool would that be?
