Post title: Masturbation

Posted by: Kimberley


Well good, there is another topic we both agree on, along with our movie favourites...hehe! I would like to also state that, masturbation is a perfectly normal aspect of our sexuality and nature. Every single creature on this planet does it; from animals to humans, from adults to teenagers. Actually it is also well known the fact that, infants have an extreme sexuality and tend to “play” with their sexual organs during the first years after birth. Would you consider them as immoral, corrupted or bad? Personally, I find my story rather funny but also a fine example that masturbation is in our nature no matter age, ethnicity or sex. At the age of 12 I learn that, what I was doing with myself and felt so much shame all the time, was actually called masturbation; and was something that everybody, even my parents and grandparents, seemed to discuss it in the shadows. In contrast, as you and Michelle said masturbation in public and especially in the presence of children sounds like a pervert running loose and it just makes me sick. On the other hand I argue that, masturbation is not always bad in the view of others. There are people who may enjoy watching or be watched. They have unconventional sexual tastes and seek to expand their erotic spectrums in different ways. I believe that, as long as, it is a consent act between free thinking and critical reasoning adults, it must be tolerated and accepted even if we may not agree or identify with their attitudes. From my point of view, there are people that no one can or should try to shape or fix. I would not judge someone who likes to masturbate in front of others as long as the others are there to watch... What people may do in the privacy of their home, alone or with company, is no one’s concern; but in a public place in front of children for God sakes...?

Yes we do agree on some things! and as it happens we share the same star sign.
I saw your field trip suggestion, Camden, London is a great idea. I went to Camden market for the first time last year, but i was with a friend and her friend who lives nearby. I wish i had been able to explore it by myself and for longer than an afternoon. I think it is the type of place that i could have experienced much more just by standing still and observing my surroundings. Being pushed from one sex shop to another...well once you have seen one latex gimp mask youve seen them all ;-D
