Why has there been such a negative pre-occupation with masturbation by some individuals throughout history. Why would or does anyone care whether you self-pleasure or not. There is something very sick and twisted to this. Recently in Indonesia, two girls were beheaded by order of Islamic Clergy because they masturbated together.

Self pleasuring has health risks? I see better and feel better aftwards! They obviously didn’t have pocket strokers or doc johnson products back then! They must approve of masturbation if they make the toys to do it!

Isn’t something due to the derivation of the word” – “man(u) stuprare”, to defile with the hand? (Oxford Etymological Dictionary).
Obviously our cultural ancestors had a problem, too…..

Ha! I’ll never look at graham crackers the same way again. In fact, maybe I’ll go have some right now.

The reason for masturbation is clear to me, but what are the psychological effects of being taught that polishing the wood will make you blind (aside from the obvious guilt)?
