Masturbate-thon in San Francisco
Times of india ^

Posted on 05/29/2005 11:13:16 AM PDT by phoenix_004

San Francisco's Center for Sex and Culture played host on Saturday to the city's annual "Masturbate-a-thon," an event its organisers said could draw up to 120 people from across the United States aiming to have a good time with themselves.

Carol Queen, director of the center, acknowledged that the event is unusual -- even by San Francisco's standards. The permissive city, which helped ignite a debate on gay marriage last year, tolerates many sorts of sexual behavior but masturbation seems a topic that is off-limits, she said.

"Even people who are sexually frisky might have the bias that many Americans do, that it's second-best sex, that it's something you do if you can't figure something else out," Queen said.

The Saturday night event also had a competitive side. One New York man arrived shortly after 5 pm seeking to break the endurance six-and-a-half hour record set at last year's event. The rules allow for a five-minute break every hour.

The female marathon winner last year, Norine Dworkin, chronicled her experiences in the women's magazine Marie Claire, saying hours later the activity was "about as pleasurable as rubbing an elbow."

This year, others like Tony, who gave only his first name, attended the event to indulge in exhibitionist behavior in front of other people.

"I grew up believing that this is a horrible, nasty thing you shouldn't overdo," said Tony who is from California's Central Valley. "The whole point is coming out and making love to your best friend."

Melissa Gira, a former peep show performer who oversaw the evening's Web cast, was considering joining in, as she had done last year. "It's interesting to be sexual in public," she said. "These aren't things we're sexually socialized to do."

When I was in junior high school many years ago in a less enlightened time, a local doctor gave us a lecture on health problems pertaining to males. When he arrived at THE subject all the guys had expectant, fearful expressions on their faces.

"There's one really undesirable effect from masturbation I've observed during many years of practice," he said as we all cringed. "It can result in an overdeveloped right arm." As a great collective sigh of relief arose, he added: "Switch hands now and then to keep things balanced." [Relieved laughter.]

Basically, this is a contest for losers who can't get laid, and who no one wants a part of.

This is so pathetic.

Consenting adults. They can do it in fursuits while singing J-pop and sell raffle tickets, if that's what they enjoy. Maybe YKINMK, but there's nothing intrinsically wrong with it.

So there you go, the addition of homosexuality to US culture is to publically emulate 12 year olds.

Guy goes into his doctor. Says "Doc, all I can think about is sex, all day everyday. I make love to my wife once or twice a day, that's all she can stand. But it's not enough for me."

Doc asks "Have you considered a mistress or a girlfriend? It might take the pressure off your wife."

Guys says, I have several of each, and I make love to them once or twice a day, everyday. That's all they can stand too!"

Doc says "Man, that sounds like a really serious problem. Maybe you need to take it in hand."

Guy says "No use. I've tried that too. Once or twice a day, everyday!"

This type of conduct is illustrative of the inadequacy of our present attitude towards punishment. There needs to be serious consideration of bringing back the stocks, the cat-o-nine tails, the pillory, the dunking stool, branding etc. etc. Upon such punishments being applied to this nuisance behavior the weirdo's would crawl back into their closets.

I'd rather they did all this than procreated and gave birth to a whole new generation of mindless liberal freaks.

Noticeably absent were famous narcissists: Clinton, McCain, native wankresses Pelosi and Boxer, AL Franken, and even the grandstanding mayor himself.

Gee, I still can't understand why families are moving out of San Francisco in droves.

Which blinds you most quickly?

Viagra or masturbation?
