More masturbation healthy

I think more people should masturbate.

Think about it, masturbation is the safest sex a person can have. There's no guilt, no angry partner and no backlash (unless you do a poor job on yourself).

While most people don't like to talk about the dirty deed, it needs to be addressed.

Is there a safer method of sex? It's just a hand and your private part.

Then there are always the sex toys from porn shops. It just depends on one's preference. But if you're going to go that route, you might as well pick up some magazines as well.

But I'm sick of going to Tower Records or a 7-Eleven and getting a frown just for buying a nasty book. It never fails. The clerk (especially if female) will always look at me like I'm about to commit a crime.

Why? I just want to have some fun.

It's not like I'm buying a handgun (which would probably get me no look at all) or a dead body.

Maybe the next time I buy my Playboy I'll just buy some petroleum jelly and toilet paper as well. I'm sure the clerks would love that.

Virgins would also be helped by masturbation. They could hold out even longer, making their peers respect them even more.

AIDS and HIV rates will be dramatically decreased if people would just relax and spend some time with themselves.

Rape would also decrease as well if masturbation were taught in schools. Unfortunately, that may never happen.

Too many groups frown on taking matters into one's own hands.

I know religion and parents frown upon masturbation, but we all as groups can think for ourselves. That's why we go to college right?

And if you disagree with masturbation, don't practice it. But don't deny others their right to enjoy it.

But some things you should watch out for include masturbating too much.

It can ruin your sex drive and make you lazy. More than three times a day can be a bit too taxing on the body.
