Shouldnât have to say it this late in the 20th Century but maybe 10 years ago I remember a round table on a now-defunct competitor to Bust and Jezebel called, I think, Cherry, where most of the 20-something women said, basically, âyeah, growing up we were all taught that masturbation was only something boys did.â
Back in the 20th Century not only was masturbation something women werenât supposed to do, it was supposedly something only unhealthy, degenerate men and boys did! It was considered far âhealthierâ to… go to a brothel or âstreet walker.â
Not saying thereâs anything wrong with sex work, but there was something seriously wrong behind that attitude that hiring someone else was preferable to masturbation!
Note: itâs ok to DYI!
Also no, so long as youâre able to do everything else you need and want to do in a day youâre probably not doing it âtoo much.â Â
I probably shouldnât be so dour about men halting sex and then wanking themselves porn-style instead of coming the ânormalâ way during sex. Because, to be fair, for about 85% of women wanking after sex is the ânormalâ way to come, isnât it?
And to be even more fair, I suspect this stupid porn trick has done quite a lot to lower rates of unwanted, unplanned pregnancy and (though to a lesser extent) communicable disease transmission.
All the same Iâd rather we put more effort into it the other way. When we have sex I do all I can to make sure you come, using my hands and my mouth and my thigh if youâre going to grind one out.
The stupid porn trick of literally stepping back and jacking away while you sit or kneel or polish your nails because Iâm not touching you at all nor are you touching me?
If thatâs the way we were going to do it, angel, Iâd still want to be lying side by side with you, leg over leg, shoulder to shoulder, and eye to eye while we did it together.
I mean old 20th-Century style âmutual masturbationâ is actually a lovely way to feel good together!
But according to the Porn Gods and, I supposed, at least 3,000 years of gender assumptions, even though you could be enjoying yourself as much as I, youâre supposed to just sit there and be âgratifiedâ with my little spatters. Â
Ugh.
Yuck.
Fuck that shit.
Iâll get you off if youâll get me, ok, sodapop?
I know that Iâve put this out here before but Iâd love to see more responses.Â
This qualifies as kink?
Okay, if you say soâŠ.
Yes we have. Itâs hot as fuck! Getting myself off watching my favorite IRL pornstar as Heâs getting off on me? Whatâs not to love?
Iâm in expert hands, giving Him a command performance, naked and exposed to Him as He strokes and moans and whispers filthy encouragements to me âŠ..
I get the visuals, His pleasure, submission service needs tended to, and a rocking orgasm on command all while He simultaneously strokes my fragile body image ego!
UmmmmâŠ.
DUH !!!
*** watching a partner masturbate is one of the best ways to learn them btw
An excellent reminder that weâre still emerging not from vanilla culture (vanilla people can be pretty cool) but from what I like to call âmissionary culture.â Missionary culture – brought to us by the same twisted Victorians who popularized virtually all our tropes for BDSM as well – is a severe rule-based, orgasm-denial, impregnation kink where sex is strictly limited to infrequent, silent PIV intercourse, in the dark, only till the man ejaculates, and ideally only often as needed for pregnancy.
In missionary culture, which fancies itself to be ânormalâ and âmainstream,â anything else is a boundary issue. Â
The difference between missionary kink and missionary culture is that in kink the rules apply only to you. In missionary culture you want the rules to apply to everyone else!
Since at least the turn of the present century gay and straight vanilla partners have been having oral sex, sex in multiple positions, sex with the lights on, anal sex, light spanking, light bondage, roleplaying, mutual exhibitionism, and, of course, mutual masturbation.
But because we still live in missionary culture those utterly vanilla practices are often referred to as âkinks.â But ahahaha, yeah, missionary propaganda notwithstanding, theyâre not kinks. Theyâre perfectly normal. And therefore perfectly vanilla.
Vanillaâs hot. Missionaryâs… not.
I dunno. Maybe Iâm just old. But outside of the production requirements of porn this seems like the only time âmoney shotsâ make for actual people.
âMutual masturbationâ has got to be the most prim, boring term in the world for something so objectively hot.
Anyone know if thereâs a better term in other languages? Because the Victorian âsexologistsâ really booted this one in English.
UPDATE: after all my grousing in my last post, someone whoâs actually getting herself off while getting a facial! Which just makes SO much more sense to me.
Decision, decisions. Hold onto the headboard or… watch the show? Youâd be delicious either way. And if I donât have your hips in my hands to hold you up or hold you still Iâd probably be doing this either way. So… which would you choose?
But when I get home to you
I find the things that you do
Will make me feel alright
