I don’t understand this response. A bunch of willing exhibitionists/voyeurs will masturbate for each other and a bunch of willing voyeurs. Everybody will be above the age of majority, and will have given their legal consent. Statistically, some of the Onanists will even be hot.
Why the disgust?
If you have to ask then I’m not able to explain it to you.
Enlighten us anyway.
:dubious:
Damn, eight hours is their record? Jesus, how would you have any feeling LEFT? Or skin, for that matter.
Actually, I feared that would be his answer. I suspect that this is one of those’our world views are so radically different that we don’t share enough mutual concepts to explain our views on this to eachother’ things.
If you can’t explain it you don’t know yourself, which is your sorry-ass ignorant problem. “Unexamined life,” and all that.
I would think the breast stroke would be applicable here 
Though perhaps they don’t care as long as you use a hands-on approach.
Hmmm, I was thinking that “Dutchman” had made a very hip joke about ice cream, semen and cops that I just didn’t get. Anybody want to take a whack at a punch line?
Please don’t be afraid

I hardly think my attitude towards public masturbation constitutes a world view.
How do you explain what makes you sick? My daughter thinks its sick when my wife and I kiss for longer than a second in front of her. I don’t ask why she feels that way. I know I wouldn’t understand anyway.
It ain’t that simple. This is one of those cases where esthetic judgment is inextricably tangled up with ethical judgment. Esthetic judgment, insofar as it is a matter of personal taste, requires no defense or explanation; but ethical judgment does.
Your daughter, presumably, is a child, which means she’s immature.
What’s your excuse?
Are you mature?
Take a moment and imagine your parents kissing.
With tongue.
Barfing yet? 
What happens at the end of eight hours? Is it the mother of all orgasms (maybe not the best choice of words)? Do you just kind of fizzle out? Do you give up due to boredom? Pain? Blindness?
See the “Catholic High School Girls in Trouble” sketch in The Kentucky Fried Movie. “The truth about masturbation!”
Its entirely true that excessive masturbation can lead to feeble-mindedness, as anyone who has seen Texas A&M can readily testify.
But lets consider the public health aspects of this: if, as we are given to understand, an erection lasting longer than 4 hours is a dangerous condition, cardiac-wise. So any number of people aiming for the 8 hour mark are going to bust their blood-pump in mid-stroke! They won’t know if they’re coming or going!
“AAaaargh! My heart!”, he ejaculated…
Dutchman, I believe they have curtained cubicles for the uh, participants.
From the site “There will be three communal areas—mixed, men=only, and women only—but each of these will have screened areas for private masturbators.”
There will be areas for those who want to masturbate in private. But the default is a place where you can see others in your section (men, women, or mixed) and they can see you.
More from the site
" Please respect people’s privacy. The single-gender areas are, obviously, only for people who identify themselves as that gender and the cubicles are for people who want to take part in the event but are only comfortable masturbating in private."
What I want to know is: “What constitutes masturbation?”
You can’t have a record unless you define what you are recording.
If I just sit for nine hours have an extremely light fondle, just enough that it feels good, is that masturbation? Who’s to say? Where do you draw the line?
I dunno, call me old fashioned but if you ask me it’s a bit like synchronised swimming at the Olympics. It’s all a bit wishy washy.
“having”, sorry.
Or, what about “eargasms?”
