MASTURBATION


This is s subject that is not often discussed within groups of friends. However in my experience masturbation is often discussed more between males than females, this may be because they can make ‘jokes’ out of it and it is more accepted.

The males reading this will be happy if they read the article I found on New scientist website, (link below) which notes that masturbation may protect against prostate cancer. This is the first study I have found on such things and so am not aware how true it can be. Still interesting though!

In society masturbation may not ever really be a subject that can be discussed freely and openly because maybe it’s not meant for that. From the lecture on masturbation, we were shown pictures of the devices that were made especially to prevent masturbation and seeing these - people must have found it offensive. In general it still causes offense so it’s perhaps best to remain a subject that we all know goes on but is discussed in modest amounts.

I agree with your comment...who knows what masturbation can prevent. As you have rightly said, masturbation will always be problematic as a topic for discussion.
