MASTURBATION CONUNDRUM POSED BY CHRISTINE MCDONNELL

 

Christine McDonnell is against masturbation.  To infants, especially, life would be quite different without it.  For little boys, it is the only toy they cannot lose.  Yet, society makes certain that they know that they may only play with that toy in privacy.  They don't say that public masturbation would attract pedophiles which is dangerous.  Instead they say, though our bodies are programmed to want this feeling, we should not want it.


Masturbation (click here for a definition), by her group, is called self-abuse.  Most physicians and those interested in mental health call it self pleasuring.  One might ask, if man was made in God's image, why does the body of humans enjoy the action of masturbation and why, then, does it kick in the natural body opiate, endorphins.
 
McDonnell seems to truly believe that this is for people's moral good and, while she is a Teapartier and calls for smaller government, she sees no obstruction to the government involving itself into this personal intrusion.  Does she plan to tax nocturnal emissions by teen age boys?  Does she plan to tie the hands of little boys for whom it is the only toy they can't lose?  Does she plan to take stick ponies away from little girls?

WebMD writes several reasons why there is no such thing as abnormal masturbation.  Their list is: 

1. There's no such thing as "abnormal" masturbation.

2. Masturbation is very safe -- but not entirely safe.

3. Solo sex can supercharge your sex life -- or scuttle it.

4. Certain forms of masturbation can lead to sexual dysfunction.

5. Masturbation may affect the risk for prostate cancer.
