How many songs are there about masturbation? I’m sure that we could compile a CD’s worth of material for it. So far, we have: _She-Bop_ by Cyndi Lauper _I Touch Myself_ by The Divinyls _Rosie_ by Jackson Browne _Turning Japanese_ by The Vapors _Blister In the Sun_ by the Violent Femmes _Dancing With Myself_ by Billy Idol I’m sure there are many others that I’m not thinking of. ---

I read somewhere that “Pump It Up” by Elvis Costello and the Attractions was about, er, self-love. It had something to do with the “No use wishing now for any other sin” line. ---

_Turning Japanese_ is about masturbation? I thought it was just about sex in general. ---

Not about masturbation, per se, but _Lady Picture Show_ by the Stone Temple Pilots is about a pornography stash. I forget the artist, but the song is called _The Stroke_. Oh, and _Good Vibrations_ by the Beach Boys. ---

How about Tori Amos’ _Icicle_, combining religion and self-love? There’s a combo bound to make some folks mighty queasy… key lyrics: And when my hand touches myself I can finally rest my head And when they say take of his body I think I’ll take from mine instead Getting off Getting off While they’re all downstairs Singing prayers Sing away ---
