I don't see why this has to be 18+, and I also can't for the life of me figure out why some users are so upset about such an innocent topic.
Incase anybody has forgotten a pivotal point in history which was the sexual revolution of the 1960's-- talking about masturbation and masturbating is fine nowadays.
We live in a post-modern era right now. Not the middle ages. The days are gone where ye parents of olde would attach weapons to your genitals to stop you from sinful acts, before discreetly leaving you in your room so they could attend the latest witch hanging and burning-- where they would commune with Abigail Williams only to witness her fake a seizure and cry "witch!!!! witch!!!!!!!!!!!" then accuse them of possessing her, which in turn got your parents burned at the stake and your penis forever locked in some weird metal contraption of which only they had the key to unlock.
"Masturbation produces seminal weakness, impotence, dysury, tabes dorsalis, pulmonary consumption, vertigo, epilepsy, loss of memory, fatigue and death."
Benjamin Rush, 1812
"Today there are parents who are alarmed when they discover that their adolescent boy is not masturbating. Several parents who have consulted me about such adolescents are quite concerned that the young persons sexual development is not proceeding normally
Abram Kardiner, 1955
Times have changed. Seeing this thread deleted would disappoint me. However, on the other hand I have had experience both being admin and moderating forums and I know there is much pressure to keep things calm and collected around cyberspace. In the end, I always chose to go the liberal way when it came to rules, so far as posts weren't graphic, overly vulgar, offensive to minorities or contained extremely illegal discussion. Letting conservative posters complain and dictate what is morally acceptable to discuss, I found, can be more dangerous then taking a calculated risk in allowing topics that may make some people feel uneasy. I commend the moderator/s who decided to leave this forum be but also understand some who may have had reservations to allowing it's existence.
The average age people start masturbating around 13 years? Hmm... that's also the legal age people are allowed to be to post on these types of forums.
Personally I masturbate most days of the week, sometimes twice per day. Whoever says that such an act reduces stress and releases endorphens is right.
Don't Cut, masturbate :cool:.
