Taboo Topic #1

I am going to be going through some topics in the next few weeks that would normally be considered "taboo" or uncomfortable to talk about.

Taboo topic #1: Masturbation

I know some of you are hastily clicking the close button right now, but for the rest of you hang with me! (No pun intended)

Some people are from the school of thought that its not good for you, and some are from the school that says in moderation its okay! As for me, I am from the second school.

Masturbation, in both men and WOMEN, is healthy and natural. I come from a family that doing 'that' is no acceptable. Period. But, as I got older I have found many things out. Masturbation is healthy (much more so than say having multiple partners) and its a great release for frustration and stress. Its also healthy for your future sex life, or your current. We all know how aggravating it can be to not orgasm when you know your close or that you should. Here's the thing ladies (and some guys too) if you masturbate, by yourself, then you can take the time to find out what you need to get you there. I had a teacher in 11th grade (so serious) that put it like this, "Masturbation is natural and healthy. Think about it like this if you don't know what you like, how can you expect your partner to know what you like?" A profound statement that made an impact on me.

We are pleasure driven creatures, motivated by instinct. Several other species of animals masturbate. Why? Because, hey it feels good, and also because it ensures that when its time to actually reproduce offspring you know how to do it. Some people think that we should evolved past that point, but truthfully we haven't. When you're hungry you eat, when you're tired you sleep, and when you need sexual release you take matters into you own hands!

This comes with a caution though, please remember that there's a time and place for everything. And frequent masturbation in adults (not so much for teenagers) could be a sign of something more serious.

If you have a taboo topic you'd like me to talk about you can send me an anonymous comment here or send one to my e-mail. I promise I will use the ut-most discretion and names, addresses, and comments will never be posted for others to see.
