Do you know that May is National Masturbation Month?
from the Good Vibrations site:
"Good Vibrations began celebrating National Masturbation Month in 1995. Earlier that year, then-Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders was fired for saying that masturbation should be discussed as part of young peoples' sex education. We were astounded. It was one of the most sensible things we'd ever heard a government official say -- and it cost Elders her job! We started National Masturbation Month to raise awareness, and because we wanted to highlight the importance of masturbation for nearly everyone: it's safe, it's healthy, it's free, it's pleasurable and it helps people get to know their bodies and their sexual responses. Of all the kinds of sex people can have, masturbation is the most universal and important, yet few people talk about it freely -- worse, many people still feel it is "second best" or problematic in some way. National Masturbation Month lets us emphasize how great it is: it's natural, common and fun! This year's theme is "Part of One!" Pamper yourself, enjoy your own company, take yourself out on the town -- even if you stay home to do it!"
From this year's general info:
"Here's how you participate: the Masturbate-A-Thon is like a walk-a-thon but more fun -- you don't need to leave your home and you won't get blisters on your feet! First, print or download our pledge sheet. Between now and May 16, ask people you know to sponsor you for every minute you'll masturbate during the Masturbate-A-Thon Weekend (May 15-16, 2004). After you masturbate for the cause, be sure to tell your friends how much money they helped raise. (We'll announce the grand total in late June.)
