And, boy, can we women _fill_ that board with sound and fury. War stories, pain/blood/smells, and more info than anyone would ever want to read.

Which is why I read/respond at the L-J vaginapagina site.

“A place for everything and everything in its place.”

(Oh, sorry, thought that was Minstrelsy.)

Not sure why this is so controversial at a place that has extensively covered sexual lives, intimate details of marriages, wiping techniques and other bathroom habits, etc. I guess sex with someone you love is just too much for this place.

I don’t know. Same goes with sensitivity and the idea that we were robbed of our ability to feel pleasure. I definitely don’t need any more sensitivity down there. Not trying to go from like 30 seconds to 15.

I use various techniques.

I beat it like it owes me money.

I choke it like a chicken.

I occasionally engage in hand to gland combat.

Sometimes much agoo about nothing.

I also spank it like a monkey.

Thanks for asking!

It’s being treated with derision because:

1. The OP is a new member. Sure, we might discuss anything over the lunch table, but the new guy has to spend some time participating in _our_ discussions before tossing off his own.
2. It’s a poorly constructed OP. Sure, it’s in MPSIMS, but we expect at least some justification for a question. (Unless it’s something we all are perfectly comfortable sharing publicly, like mother’s maiden name and last four digit of account number.)

“We are college roommates. No need to be ashamed of masturbation. Feel free to jerk off whether I’m in the room or not. By the way, my name is Rob.”

Paraphrased from the Onion but somehow seems appropriate.

Back to masturbating at work, I once had a male friend tell me he had made a point of masturbating at every workplace he’d ever had.

This would have been merely an interesting fact, had he not told me from behind the bar where he worked. Where I was drinking at the bar. Quite close to the Gents toilets.
