Masturpation/Self abuse



So is masturbation really a cultural problem like smoking, i don't think it is. Millions of people admit to smoking, i mean people do it in public places. So i wouldn't accept this statement.

There are afew things that mates just don't speak about. And this is definitely one of them. You can call someone a 'wanker' and that's a pretty offensive thing, but what do you call a women that does it. Maybe its assumed that women don't or won't.




Masturbation is a very taboo topic, it seems that this module should be called 'what is being bad?'. I mean this behaviour isn't killing anyone, its not a form of evil but it is frowned upon and classed as bad by a lot of people.


Masturbation has been deemed by the following crude phrase's:


Jerk the Gherkin

Bash the bishop

Choke the monkey

Toss the salad



That's all i could think of in the lecture as i don't really think about it much.


Its not something that i think is bad, but i think its something that should be private and kept that way. People can talk about sex, but sex with themselves is seen as weird especially if your a bloke however not so much with women.



I think society is very quiet about it, amongst other things.



The lecture didn't shock me, but i think made me aware of how much of a tricky issue it is.
