Dis the cons - participate in the Masturbate-a-thon?
Devised as an outpost against the sexual conservatism of the american neo-cons, the annually held Masturbate-a-thon of San Francisco flashes a lot of people peacefully coming together to celebrate and well, you guessed...The event is hosted by Good Vibrations, a sex shop owned by women, that wants to promote masturbation by ridding people of feelings of guilt. What better way to do so than hold an event that sports thousands of people from all over the world masturbating at the event and over livecam!
Participants need to provide a sponsor that pays for every minute of masturbation (single person record is at six and a half hours!). Winner is the one that masturbates the longest, but there´s also a runner´s up price for the one with the most orgasms. Oh, and by the way the money goes to charity as usual.
The rules are rather peculiar as you probably guessed...
- Genitals must be showing
- No touching other participants
- Participants may continuously stimulate any part of their body as long as they are demonstrating true arousal to such stimulation
- No drugs or alcohol. No smoking. (Aaawww, come on!)
- NO FAKING ORGASM. Do not waste our time. If you have an orgasm we are happy for you but this is not our goal. The first detected faked orgasm shall be reason for a 15-minute penalty against accumulated time.The second detected fake orgasm shall be a thirty minute fine against accumulated time and the third will disqualify the offender from further competition at that event
The event is part of the "National masturbation month" that was introduced in 1995 as a reaction to the firing of Clinton administrations Surgeon-General Dr. Joycelyn Elders. She was sacked for her statement that masturbation "... is part of human sexuality, and perhaps it should be taught [to prevent the spread of AIDS]".
Now what beats me is: how do they differentiate between real and fake orgasms?!
