Taking Sex Into Our Own Hands

I believe...

Masturbation is our first natural sexual activity. Masturbation is the ongoing love affair that each of us has with ourselves throughout our lifetime. Masturbation is an erotic meditation. Masturbation inspires creativity. Masturbation is a way to gain sexual self-knowledge. Cultural denial of masturbation is the basis of sexual repression. Sharing masturbation with a lover enhances sexual intimacy. Being responsible for our own orgasm gives us a choice when it comes to partnersex. Threesomes help us overcome society's conditioning to hoard sex for one person. In the tradition of many cultures, some people enjoy celebrating sex in a group. Selfsexuality is our daily bread, partnersex is an evening of dining out, and groupsex several times a year is a grand banquet. Selfloving allows us to design a sexlife like an ongoing work of art.

I propose...

Organizing a sex positive movement with millions of activists joining me on the barricades against sexual ignorance. If you're a friend of sex who would like to take a stand, start today by enjoying your own selfloving sessions without any guilt or apology. Go public by telling a few friends about your favorite masturbation techniques with a description of one of your better orgasms. Finally, sharing masturbation with a friend or lover qualifies you as an activist in the erotic renaissance of the new millennium.

Today there are many articles on sexuality but very little in the general forum about masturbation. For instance I just read on WebMd about 15 cheap self-indulgences.  Sex was mentioned with partners but nothing was said about the best and greatest self-indulgence - masturbation.  What better cheap and priceless activity could you have than masturbation but it is still taboo as a topic of conversation in the general populous. It is a subject that a very few will speak of.  Nobody wants to admit they masturbate but will admit to just about anything else.  A sad commentary on the state of mind in our culture.  Masturbation is still looked upon as a degradation of the self and outright scorned by many.
