Now here’s an idea that every high school with a sex ed program should embrace: an annual Masturbate-A-Thon. The fundraising part might initially be tough: “Ask your friends and neighbors to sponsor you for every minute of masturbation during May 18-19.” I can think of a few neighbors who’d likely be, um, turned off if Johnny or Susie knocked on their door, asking for pledges.
But it would be fun to host anyway. Match this up with a Rounding the Bases approach to sexual intimacy and we might actually make some progress in addressing our culture’s myriad sex-related social problems.
