Sexuality as a social construct.

Postby Four-sided Triangles » Sat Mar 10, 2012 5:03 pm

In this article, he talks about the fact that pornography and masturbation are self-debasing toward the men that practice them. He also mentions the fact that our culture sees masturbation as an inevitable aspect of human sexuality, but is it?

Is masturbation really the result of "natural" instincts or is it nothing more than a socially constructed need? Would masturbation still exist if we didn't live in a hypersexualized society? I don't know as it would. Masturbation may indeed be nothing more than an artificial practice constructed by a society obsessed with sex. It's unnatural, and therefore, we can create a world where no one practices with self-abusive behavior.
This is why gay marriage will destroy American families.
Gays are made up of gaytrinos and they interact via faggons, which are massless spin 2 particles. They're massless because gays care so much about their weight, and have spin 2, cause that's as much spin as particles can get, and liberals love spin. The exchange of spin 2 particles creates an attractive force between objects, which is why gays are so promiscuous. When gays get "settle down" into a lower energy state by marrying, they release faggon particles in the form of gaydiation. Everyone is a little bit gay, so every human body has some gaytrinos in it, meaning that the gaydiation could cause straight people to be attracted to gays and choose to turn gay.

I have no opinion about the rest of your post but I will stay that I was playing with my cock in a pleasurable way about 3 years before I had the first clue what sex was.

Perhaps subliminal messages in advertising sexualized you without you realizing it.

Considering humanity has engaged in since actions since they evolved, and primates do this for pleasure, it's natural, its instinctive, it's inevitable.

Discouraging masturbation works so well in religious households.

Masturbation is natural
Bruce Bagemihl: Biological Exuberance: Animal Homosexuality and Natural Diversity. St. Martin's Press, 1999. ISBN 0-312-19239-8
"Autoeroticism also occurs widely among animals, both male and female. A variety of creative techniques are used, including genital stimulation using the hand or front paw (primates, Lions), foot (Vampire Bats, primates), flipper (Walruses), or tail (Savanna Baboons), sometimes accompanied by stimulation of the nipples (Rhesus Macaques, Bonobos); auto-fellating or licking, sucking and/or nuzzling by a male of his own penis (Common Chimpanzees, Savanna Bonobos, Vervet Monkeys, Squirrel Monkeys, Thinhorn Sheep, Bharal, Aovdad, Dwarf Cavies); stimulation of the penis by flipping or rubbing it against the belly or in its own sheath (White-tailed and Mule Deer, Zebras and Takhi); spontaneous ejaculations (Mountain Sheep, Warthogs, Spotted Hyenas); and stimulation of the genitals using inanimate objects (found in several primates and cetaceans).[35]
Many birds masturbate by mounting and copulating with tufts of grass, leaves or mounds of earth, and some mammals such as primates and dolphins also rub their genitals against the ground or other surfaces to stimulate themselves."

Sexual activities of any kind have been demonized and hushed up in religious societies for millenia.
Guess who's the world leader in google porn search? Pakistan.
Guess which state comes first in the US? Utah.
Obviously, "sexual propaganda" is not the key factor here.

Yes, cavemen/women 60,000 years ago were unnaturally sexualised by social and commercial propaganda.
