National Masturbation Day

While reading PaulKatcher.com this morning (you should all be reading it - that and Tony Pierce's busblog), I saw that Saturday, May 7, is National Masturbation Day.
National Masturbation Day's roots extend as far back as 1995, when a San Francisco sex shop called Good Vibrations held an AIDS/HIV fundraiser that encouraged sponsors to donate money for every minute they spent masturbating on May 7.
I'm sure some of you "2 minutes is all I need" types could escape the day on the cheap but I like to enjoy myself. I like to savor the experience. And I know that I'm too much of a tightwad to be on the hook for $45 to some sex shop. Good thing May is National Masturbation Month... I'd hate to miss out on the festivities.

The amusing thing, to me at least, is that the day comes arrives one day before Mother's Day. I hate to be crass [I don't really but I have to say that for some of my more sensitive readers] but imagine how many potential you's were recklessly abandoned before your father happened upon a kindly woman and turned her into your mother.

Let the nausea begin :)

Cheers!
