Masturbation in Philosophy

The first part of this article contains an interesting take on the philosophy of masturbation as viewed by Greek Cynics. A bit intellectual perhaps, but an unusual and straightforward discussion nonetheless.

Remember, the first part is most related to masturbation.

Wow. I never realized spending a few minutes with a fantasy and a dollop of Astroglide was so deeply philosophical. 🤣

Some of those Ancient guys were very radical straightforward thinkers. Plowing straight ahead with a concept to wherever it might logically lead and not really worrying about the accepted social and moral aspects.

And you have to admit that when it comes to sex, people are so bloody emotional and irrational and twist themselves up into moral pretzels trying to reconcile natural desires and socially accepted behavior.

Good find @agracier , I agree with the whole premise , I just never felt the need to masturbate much as a youngster and now as an old man even less so .

So it falls in line with how i have lived my life as a whole . But it did bring into focus the behavior of some others , Maby someone should have taken them aside and taught them ? Then again there are those who if you can brake the pattern of "greed" , You would never get them out of the bathroom !
