Everybody has to let out some pressure…

Through the years I’ve realized there are many things that will remain out of my control. For example, according to an intense study from the Kinsey Institute the average man forms a thought about sex approximately every two minutes. Furthermore he generally ponders said thought for about a minute, 50 seconds before letting go of it.

It’s hard admitting to the above information; on some level, it makes me feel perverted and ashamed. However, many would argue that sexual thoughts are natural and part of the human make-up. I’m a sexually active man in his late 20’s and indeed I have random thoughts in a sexual nature.

I’m confused on why many men are still nervous or shy when it comes to speaking about masturbation. In my opinion “Masturbation” is simply a part of human nature… it’s a part of our lives. Remember the Seinfeld episode where George, Kramer, Elaine, and Jerry have “The Contest”; it was to see who could go the longest without pleasuring him/herself. The entire show revolved around the fact that all men (and women) masturbate.

One of my favorite quotes is from Woody Allen; regarding masturbation he said “Don’t knock masturbation… it’s sex with someone I love.” Funny as that quote is; the fact remains we are simply fulfilling a bodily function that makes us fell good. Masturbation is becoming accepted as a healthy practice and safe method for sharing pleasure without some of the dangers that can accompany intercourse. It is socially accepted and even celebrated in certain circles.

Once again, there are some things that I realize are out of my control… It’s my strong belief that Masturbation is one of them. To be honest, I enjoy and celebrate this portion of my daily/weekly life. I’m not ashamed or embarrassed by it; I understand that it’s as healthy and natural as a person eating and sleeping! Listed below are some additional famous quotes regarding the topic on Masturbation:

The good thing about masturbation is that you don’t have to get dressed up for it.
Truman Capote

If God had intended us not to masturbate, He would have made our arms shorter.
George Carlin

Philosophy is to the real world as masturbation is to sex.
Karl Marx

There is always a time and place for selected topics or opinions. That being said, I’m not trying to say you should hold an open table discussion on Masturbation during your office meeting at work. I’m merely reminding today’s society that 99% of men masturbate… the other 1% have no arms!
