Come for a good cause!
This Sunday, May 25, is the annual masturbate-a-thon. Learn about masturbation as safe sex and help raise money for Center for Sex and Culture.
Watch this video of Carol Queen and Robert Lawrence discussing the masturbate-a-thon and you will learn that National Masturbation Month (of which the 'thon is a central event) was founded by the sex educators at Good Vibrations in protest of the firing of Dr. Jocelyn Elders, who was Surgeon General for a short time during Bill Clinton's first administration. You may recall she was fired after suggesting that teaching young people about masturbation would help prevent STIs, unwanted pregnancies, and improve sexual health, and delay the start of sexual intercourse.
The Center for Sex and Culture, in San Francisco, does really important educational and cultural work, and because of their level of honesty and openness about sex they can't get any federal, state or local public money. Their work depends on private donations. So, get someone to sponsor your masturbating on Sunday, or pledge to support another person's quest for charitable orgasms.
More on the wonders of masturbation another time. Right now please head over to CSC's masturbate-a-thon page and consider making a pledge. (You can also register on the CSC masturbate-a-thon page to watch live on Sunday!)
State attitudes to sexuality
It is interesting to observe where official State attitudes have gone between Dr Jocelyn Elders and the current Administration's policy 's around ABC. For a light hearted discussion see Dr Susan Block's article Come As You Are.
