Masturbation for all!!! Why, one might ask? As a program facilitator with Sex Out Loud, I am constantly being asked questions about pleasure. How can I have a great orgasm? How can I last longer? Well friends, your answers lie in just one word… MASTURBATION. And while we're at it, let's make it a masturbation fiesta.
But there is more to masturbating than just screaming it to the world. Masturbation gives people control over their sexuality. Let's take women, for example. A lot of men are out-of-the-closet masturbators, so ladies, we need to step it up!
By getting in touch with your body, being completely comfortable with it, you are opening a massive window to your sexuality. Knowing how to orgasm by yourself will increase your chances to orgasm with a partner. You'll be able to cue your partner in on what feels good, because you already know. And BTW, it feels GREAT!
Now gentlemen, masturbation is more than just your favorite pastime. It also allows you to discover where you like your balls stroked, if you like your taint rubbed or pushed, what movements make you … (insert appropriate sexual innuendo here). Masturbation can also help increase your stamina in bed, by knowing your own physical limitations.
So friends and neighbors, I can't stress it enough: if you want to know the best way to have a fabulous sexual experience, the key to your lusty door lies in masturbation. So give yourself a hand … or a vibrator, and go to town! MAD SEX WEEK is this week. Please go to Sexoutloud.com for more information.

I'd raise my hand to salute you, but it's ummm... busy.

This is what it takes to get a letter to the editor published in this newspaper? My goodness, Badger Herald editorial staff, I didn't think it was possible for you to sink even more in my eyes.
With the exception of the Mohammed cartoon, you'll never publish a letter that involves an issue riased within your pages. You won't let people respond in print form to your editorials, or call columnists out when they're stretching facts to make a point. Every day, the paper is full of wasted "Badger Herald: Since 1969" space that could be used for honest dialogue. But no, letters to the editor aren't important. Unless they're about masturbation.
I suppose the next time that Beckstrom is prattling on about how her limited view of the world should be the one that everyone takes, I should write a letter in response that somehow wraps up my response in an analysis of self-gratification. That'll get it published.

Wait, you seem to be implying that there are other kinds of sex other than masturbation? I had no idea. You mean, like, sex with another person? I....don't understand. The concept is so alien to me that I can't fathom it.

Maybe she means with the naked ladies on the computer screen?
