Comment on “What about Masturbation?”

You have a very thoughtful and informative blog. I thought your comment about a “negative fascination” with masturbation was especially insightful (What about Masturbation?). Over-vilification of the practice seems to have a net negative effect: it incentives further concealment of the act, engenders negative feelings of sexuality in general, and ruins self-esteems. A less dogmatic and condemnatory approach for dealing with the topic would go a long way toward encouraging restraint without the obsessive guilt and shame that usually accompany the issue of masturbation. Great blog, keep it up.

Thank you for your kind words. I couldn’t agree with you more!
