Why Wack Off Alone? Why Indeed... Masturbation is primarily a solo activity, aside from the occasional couple's play where you watch each other masturbate as foreplay. I have no judgment on mutual masturbation - other than the fact that if some guy blows his load and rends himself useless to me, well, he'd better come back quickly & stronger than before. Otherwise, he'll find himself replaced by my solo masturbation.

However, I do find the business of selling masturbation amusing.

I find it amusing that AdultFriendFinder uses "Why Wack Off Alone" as a pitch line, when in essence, that's exactly what they are selling. I'm certain there are folks who do meet in non-internet spaces, i.e. the 'real world,' to date or screw (or have a screwy date), as do folks from MySpace, Yahoo 360, or some forum for Star Wars figurine collectors. But those meetings are fewer than the folks who chat online. And by 'chat' I do mean cyber.

And by-and-large, isn't cybering the act of "Whacking Off Alone"?

(It's also for the straight-and-small, the gay-and-medium too.)

Unless, of course, AdultFriendFinder member A is doing the typing to AdultFriendFinder member B while person C (or persons C though G) are doing the masturbating...


......

Sorry, I had some fun visualizing that.

:ahem: Back to business.

This business of selling masturbation, and that's what internet pornography is, has become increasingly pointed.

But perhaps so pointed, that they no longer see the forest for the trees.

At High Joy, they don't just sell you the membership to meet other masturbators, but the means to masturbate - because, after all, your hands are busy typing or adjusting webcams etc.

I know the Internet Enabled Rabbit is hardly news, but isn't it a bit strange that we need a toy to masturbate us while we type dirty fantasies to one another?

I believe masturbation is healthy, I do. I do it myself. And yes, I enjoy arousal, with or without company. I have an excellent fantasy life, thank you very much. But what I wonder is what the hell do we do for ourselves any more?

We are no longer supposed to be content with mental images, self-created fantasies, touching ourselves, or bringing ourselves to our own damn orgasm?

How lazy have we become, anyway?

Some folks worry that the future will be sexless. I worry more about the fact that everything will be done for us. Even our masturbation.

I say "Hello, alien race. Beam me up if you allow masturbation alone." And they will say "Yes, we allow & encourage solo masturbation." Because they are, after all, a more intelligent life form.

By the way, folks who meet in 'the real world' the folks they met cybering online are truly whack jobs in every sense of the phrase. But more on that later.  ¶ 11:15 PM
