Enough already, so I said I would document the protest, events both in and outside of my control made me a liar but oh well. From what I heard the protest was a success and about 500 strong showed up for the event. KNBC covered the event, you can check it out here.
Below is the transcript of an online debate that I had with an esteemed colleague of mine on the topic of public masturbation. Read and enjoy.
Ben: Among the many problems facing America today, perhaps the most pressing problem is Public Masturbation. It seems no matter where you live, someone you’ve met has been affected by open displays of self satisfaction. So now the question everyone is asking, “Do Public Masturbators Need Help?”
Ben: I think the answer to this question is obvious. The problem at hand can clearly be solved if the public masturbators seek professional help. Maybe guidance counseling of some sort should be offered at the local high schools.
Mac: Ben, you are a brilliant man, but on this point I must disagree. “PMs” don’t need professional help; the help they need can be given by anyone. When you see a PM, you must help them with their dilemma: Give them a helping hand. PMs don’t need hand-outs; they need hand-jobs.
Ben: So they’ve gotten to you too, have they Mac? Public masturbation is not only an abhorrent practice, it’s public nuisance and health hazzard. I would hate to have to count the many times that a PM has caused reckless endangerment by leaving his “tool” out in the open. It can get caught in machinery and also cause people to trip and fall. Let’s not also forget in the case of out good Hunchbacked friend, Kwazi, it can cause some people to gouge out their own eyes.
Ben: our*
Mac: That notion that masturbation causes one to go blind is nothing more than an old wives’ tale. I have successfully masturbated over 3,000 times, and my eyesight is still intact. Regardless, I think we need to get to the root of the problem Ben: You’re insecure about your sexuality. For what other explanation would make sense? You’ve failed to take into account the female masturbators, or “finger bangers” as the public generally referes to them. I think the sight of a penis in the open makes you sweat because you don’t want to admit to yourself that you’re homosexual, and your lack of reprimand for female PMs is nothing but a front.
Ben: A simple quip from a simple man. I am secure with my sexuality but am not secure with my sanity knowing that there are people like you out there who don’t mind whipping it out and whacking away in public. Imagine if you will, you’re eating at drive-through burger place. Wouldn’t you be the least bit shocked if you saw that your drive-through clerk had spooged on your bag because he couldn’t withhold the urge to masturbate during your order. While masturbation is a wonderful thing of which I’ve done many a time, I think that there it’s proper place is behind closed doors and not in a public setting. My lack of mentioning female PM’s stems from my knowledge that women do not masturbate nearly as much as men do and thus do not represent a PM demographic worth mentioning in this discussion.
Mac: ok the next exchange will be our final thoughts
Ben: aight
Mac: But picture this Ben. Say you haven’t had sex or masturbated in several weeks. You notice a huge swelling in your testicles, and it’s to the point where it pains you to walk. All of a sudden, one night, your testicles explode. This is the reality my friend: Exploding testicles account for more fatalities in men between the ages of 18 and 24 than automobiles and alcohol combined. If the man serving your burger is about to die, I don’t think you’d mind a little bit of secret sauce on your patty in exchange for saving a man’s life. Now don’t get me wrong, I’m not saying ALL public masturbators do what they do for health reasons. But what if you’re walking down the street and you can just take it no longer, and you are in legitimate danger of “busting a nut”? Surely you can’t fault someone for practicing self preservation through self gratification?
Ben: Is it so hard to keep masturbation confined behind closed doors? Surely at some point in time during the day everyone has the opportunity to masturbate without making a spectacle of themselves. Maybe people dying of a busted nut deserve to die. You know it’s said that idle hands are the devil’s work and it’s obvious that these so called victims haven’t taken advantage of what precious little time they do have to masturbate in private. Besides of which, what about people with STD’s that are particularly nasty in nature? If the site of another man’s bare penis alone doesn’t disturb you then does the site of a syphillitic one? Who are we going to grant these rights of public masturbation? It’s easier to just confine it all to private quarters and end the dispute that way.
