SAN FRANCISCO (Reuters) - More than 100 men and women gathered in famously liberal San Francisco this past weekend for what organizers said was the city's second annual public "Masturbate-a-Thon."

Organizers said they have taken the event "from the sheets to the streets," offering volunteers -- 18 years or older -- the opportunity to overcome their inhibitions in "a safe environment" and raise money for charity.

Horace Santry, 55, said the Friday night event was his first. "I have a lot of anxiety, but doing this among a group of like-minded people does make it easier," he said.

Men and women ranging in age from the early 20s to the 50s, mingled at a local performing arts center in San Francisco's South of Market district, known for artists, galleries and nightclubs, before getting down to business.

To the strains of soothing new-age music, the men and women -- a number of them couples -- were shown into rooms for men, women or both.

"This is an effort to counter centuries of censure, to make masturbation more fun and to make it more accessible," said Thomas W. Laqueur, a professor of history at the University of California at Berkeley and author of the recent "Solitary Sex: A Cultural History of Masturbation," in a telephone interview before the event.

The event is a fund-raiser for the local Center for Sex and Culture, a non-profit organization that provides sex education.

San Francisco Masturbate-a-Thons have raised more than $25,000 over the past five years, said Center co-founder Robert Lawrence.

The event has inspired others in several U.S. states and countries, from Alaska to Germany, in which participants raise money in the privacy of their homes.

I belive this is run by the folks at Good Vibrations and they do a lot of sexual health education so I would guess some of it would go back into that. They rock!

Fuck this, some one gave a CAT a fucking shitload of money

LONDON (Reuters) - Black stray cat Tinker got all the cream when an elderly widow left him his own detached house in London and a trust fund to keep him comfortable.

Margaret Layne, 89, left the 350,000-pound house and the 100,000-pound fund to Tinker after he befriended her, the Times reported on Tuesday.

The childless widow made it clear in her will that Tinker, who has lifelong residency at the house, should not stray again.

"If Tinker abandons the property permanently the trustees shall at their discretion be entitled to bring the trust to an end," the will said, according to the Times.

Since Mrs Layne's death Tinker, aged about eight, has acquired two housemates at the three-bedroom property in Harrow, north London -- two other cats, Lucy and Stardust.

When Tinker dies the estate will pass to the trustees, Mrs Layne's former neighbours, the Times said.

isnt masturbation for self enjoyment .. and what the hell is "masturbation awareness" ? ..i think i want to attend just to laugh my ass off at all the freaks.... sounds like one big orgy....oh and i bet the guys will masturbate to the women masturbating..

Sarah_Jayne · 05-06-2003, 04:34 PM

you would be suprised how many women are afraid to masterbate. By not exploring their own bodies they often can't tell their partners how to pleasure them. Also, mutual masterbation is an option for early sexual exploration that is less risky than 'normal' sex. In addition to all of that there is still a public stigma to talking about what is a healthy thing to do. Just ask Jocelyn Elders.

Good Vibrations is a great sex shop targetted more at women then men. Brightly lit and a welcoming atmosphere with a huge slant on sexual education. They get huge thumbs up from me.
