May is national masterbation month. There’s a giant rock on my campus in front of the library that students often paint for special occasions. My friend Suzanne and I want to paint it in honor of next month, but we’re at odds as to what color it should be. I think white, and she says pink. Her boyfriend suggests black. I’d like to take a vote–or listen to any other opinions. ---

Not pink. Maybe white. I say you go with red. Whoever says Purple as in “Purple Head Yogurt Slinger” or “Purple Helmeted Soldier Of Love” DIES! ---

I would go with either perl white or thigh shaking red. Although I must admit that purple wouldn’t be a bad choice, since it IS associated with masturbation via the “Purple Head Yogurt Slinger” or “Purple Helmeted Soldier Of Love” references we all know and love so much. 😃 Come on ThisYearsGirl, you were just asking for it… ---

It would have to be black as Bashing The Bishop will definitely make you go blind. ---

I vote for pink, since any guy that masturbates has pink on his mind! You’ve already got the rock-hard dymanic going. 😛 White is to puritanical for sexual thoughts, and black is too deviant. Red is a good color for sex. Paint it red. ---

I’d do a dark color, let it dry, and then put white splotches all over it. ---

Pink was the first thing that popped into my mind when I clicked on the link. Go with pink. You’ll feel better about yourself. ---

Purple … because I was told it’s the colour of sexual frustration. ---

No, purple is the color of royalty. And if you had your own harem, you’re NEVER sexually frustrated. ---

National masterbation month? Well, I’ll be quite willing to celebrate… But who declared this? When? And why May? ---

I’d say purple - something about how the skin of the penis looks at a certain point. Patty ---

To the OP: Pink. _Hot_ Pink. [May is National Masturbation Month](http://www.goodvibes.com/nmm/index.html?BASKETID=00_3aebc07328b00) according to [Good Vibrations](http://www.goodvibes.com/gvindex.html?BASKETID=00_3aebc07328b00). But _I_ knew that. 😛 Now, who wants to sponser me in the [Masturbate-a-thon](http://www.goodvibes.com/nmm/mathon.html) on May 6? 😃 ---
