It’s sad but true that many of us — well, not me personally — still have a problem accepting masturbation as a natural part of human sexuality.

It’s amazing really that more than half way through the nougties, both men and women still often believe that it’s wrong to ‘play with yourself’.

I’ve heard of men who believe that doctors can tell that they masturbate just by examining them and women who feel they’re no better than whores because they enjoy fingering themselves. One guy I spoke to was sure he’d burn in hell because he masturbates because the Bible says something about not letting your seed fall to earth. I told him to catch it in some tissue like everybody else then it wouldn’t be a sin. Ok, so maybe that’s not good Christian advice but I’m sick and tired of meeting people who are frustrated and scared because of something that was written almost 2000 years ago and it doesn’t feature in the commandments.

I’ve also heard women say that they’re men don’t like them masturbating because they “shouldn’t need to”. What?? A woman who’s lost interest in touching herself has usually lost interest in sex in any form so guys should be happy as long as a woman wants to masturbate because the more she does, the stronger her sexuality and the better he’ll feel in the sack!

Masturbation is perfectly natural; almost everybody does it. It feels good, it relieves tension and men who masturbate regularly are less likely to develop prostate cancer.
