Masturbation

Why is masturbation such a taboo subject?

What's wrong with it?

Truely the safest of sex to be sure.

What is it about exploring, and educating yourself about your own sexual foundations that causes such strong emotions throughout society?

Or, is the attitude towards masturbation changing amoung the younger generations?

Should masturbation be discussed in sex-ed classes?
Should parents talk about it with their children?
Is there gender issues with masturbation? Ok for one gender, not ok for the other?

If there was less of a negative stigma regarding masturbation how would that effect society?

Because it feels so good. Religions hate anything that feels good.

Superstitions don't have to make sense, and usually don't.

We would see more commercials for "personal lubrication".

Folks, talk to your kids, be honest.

If people understood how to do it properly, they would be better lovers, people would have more sex, and there would be less angst in the world.

Re: Masturbation

That's just it.

If the subject of masturbation was not taboo then talking about it would not be a problem.

Why is it taboo to begin with?

I like the comment on religion hating anything that feels good.
But is that the only reason?

Re: Masturbation

Its like everything else in life. Nothing wrong with it, in and of itself, but if it becomes excessive it can become a problem. I know a couple that divorced because the guy masturbated to online porn 6 times a day and never wanted to have sex with his wife.

That guy sounds like a real douche. Who has time to masturbate to online porn six times a day?

I know. I think if I had a day off and nothing better to do, and no wife, I might be able to manage it 3-4 times. I am willing to admit I have looked at my fair share of internet porn, but six times a day is unbelievable. He must eat ginsing root for breakfast or something.......

Definantly. In my grandmother's day if you did it, you certanly didn't talk about it. Then we had the hippy movement (easly confused with a bowel movement), and now we have sexual material all over the media.

More than gender, in fact. IMO if one is married then they should be focused on their spouce and non other. I'm not sure what issues your eluding to here, however. Could you list them please?
