masturbation is probably such an underrated and useful tool in a man's arsenal (not sure about women on the other hand). and it's such a shame that people ridicule masturbation. first, the most obvious thing about masturbation is the relief of one's immediate emotions. in my terms, masturbation brings intelligence to men (again not sure about women). once a guy ejaculates, it's my suspicion that he mostly comes to his senses. it's like beating an animal to near death only to realize the animal was his dear pet; at the last minute you realize that all those feelings were pretty pointless. one of my friends pointed out that if the world lacked women, it would be a fairly peaceful place. i completely disagree. the US armed forces are clear proof that this is not true. the thing is that guys need to relieve themselves of their biological aggressions. that's just how it is. another point of proof for me that masturbation is a great thing is, imo, the difference between southern states and Japan. yes, i just said. i believe that in southern states where religion is a vital part of life, masturbation is outlawed and so a lot of guys aren't allowed to rationalize their biological tendencies. so you get these weird ass psychos like that guy whom the Silence of the Lambs was based on because of the strictness of religious life. compare that to Japan where there's tons of ways for a dude to get off. it's not uncommon out here to hear about some old guy in an adult shop just waxing his tail. but the difference is that people here are pretty calm for the most part. you don't hear too much about some of these bizarre murder cases that involve some sexual element. my theory is that there's a link in the freedom of sex that the Japanese can enjoy whereas Protestant/Catholic America doesn't. the other thing about masturbation is that i believe it's effects allow one to gain focus. think about being in an office where there's tons of hot women. how the hell can a guy do his work properly? simple: masturbate. if you're all outta juice, why would it matter? anyway, i guess part of this discussion came from the time i was on campus at goold old UCI and saw this old man wearing a body cast with tons of graffiti. one of the more remarkable writings had, "Masturbate and Be Free." Preach on brother.
