SPANKING-THE-MONKEY’

….pounding-the-pudd, whacking off, jerking off, the five finger Mambo, choking the chicken, and my all time favorite…’spanking the monkey’!  These are only a few of the slang terms used to describe the act of ‘self-gratification’ or, MASTURBATION…(which is the more accepted, ‘scientific’ terminology).  As a child, I remember older folks warning us (in hushed tones), that if you did THAT, you would suffer a long list of severe punishments, including; going crazy, and growing hair on the palm of your hand….which if were true, would find a lot of ‘hairy-handed’ nuts running around all over the place!  HA! 

Masturbation has been performed by both boys and girls, men and women, more often then any other activity one could name.  There is no direct reference to it in the Bible and as far as I know, it has never been proven to be harmful in any way.  Of course there is always the exception…the one who does it 24/7.  Anything can be detrimental if carried to the extreme.  But on the average, I would surmise that nearly everyone has engaged in the practice at one time or another.   

It is unfortunate that this ‘healthy’ act has been condemned by the ‘pious’ prudes throughout history.  Yes, I believe masturbation is a healthy, safe way to release pent up sexual frustrations.  When those adolescent hormones kicked in, you had to have a way to ‘get-off’ or walk around with a perpetual hard-on!  How many of you guys have had the embarrassing experience of being in class, daydreaming about sex and getting a ‘woody’, when the bell rang to go to another class and you had to try to hide the ‘bulge’ in your pants?  Happened to me often.   

The point of this is; with teenage pregnancies on the rise, AIDS taking people out by the millions, and all manner of STD’s prevalent…masturbation should be encouraged as a sexual outlet.  Besides, taking a line from the classic gay movie, ‘The Boy’s in the Band’…”the great thing about masturbation is, you don’t have to look good”!  Also, it’s not just a boy thing; girls do it just as often.                

    I am 62 years, old and still enjoy masturbating.  It is something pleasurable that I do (in private), and I hope that desire remains with me until I croak.   

   So, I say to all of you out there…”take a little time out now and then to get up close and personal with your sexy self”…
