Did you know that May is National Masturbation Month?

Founded in May 1995 by San Francisco-based sex toy company Good Vibrations, National Masturbation Month is a celebration of self-service that was a response to the firing of Surgeon General Dr. Joycelyn Elders in 1994, who advocated for masturbation being part of sex education for teenagers.

Elders was quoted as saying, “We know that more than seventy to eighty percent of women masturbate, and ninety percent of men masturbate, and the rest lie.” This month is a time to celebrate the masturbatory truth.

But everyone here is a fan of one-handed reading — and writing — so who am I telling about the joys of masturbation? If you’re reading this, you already know. I wish you a happy Masturbation Month just the same. May your hand get tired and your batteries all run out.
