I recently read a story online about a woman who was walking through a park and noticed a young man masturbating in public. At first, she thought it was just a prank, so she didn’t think much of it. But then, she noticed that he was doing it for a few minutes and she felt really uncomfortable. She started to feel angry and disgusted at the same time, but then something clicked in her mind.
This man was doin’ something he was ashamed of in public, something he would probably never do in front of a group of people he knows. It made me think about the levels of self-loathing and stigma that we attach to masturbation. It’s really quite sad.
The thing is, it’s a natural thing that people do, dildos and I think it’s about time more people talk about it openly. We need to destigmatize self-pleasure so that it’s not something that people are ashamed of.
When I see people masturbate in public, I feel a mix of emotions. On the one hand, I’m sure it’s coming from a place of loneliness and insecurity, but on the other hand, I’m happy to see someone feeling comfortable enough to be completely open about their sexuality. It’s something we should all feel equally free to do whenever we want.
On top of that, I feel sad and slightly embarrassed for them in a way, because I know that it’s not exactly a socially accepted practice. I imagine that if they felt more comfortable expressing their sexuality from other forms, like talking to people or indulging in healthy outlets, then they wouldn’t feel the need to do it in an extremely public way.
The thing is, we all need to be accepting of each other if we want to help cultivate a society where people feel comfortable being honest about their desires and needs. I think it’s important to remember that we all have things that we don’t feel 100% comfortable talking about, but it doesn’t mean that we need to be ashamed of them. We all have the right to explore and experience our own pleasure without fear of judgement.
Now that I’ve reflected on it, it’s clear that it’s not just about how we view public masturbation, but it’s also about how we view ourselves. We need to be kinder to ourselves and more aware of our own needs. We need to learn to get out of our own way of that’s enjoyable and satisfying. We must take some time to self-explore and understand our own bodies.
It’s also important to understand that everyone has different preferences and desires when it comes to self-pleasure. It’s important to respect their own individual wants and needs without judgement, regardless of what it looks like or how it’s expressed.
In an ideal world, we’d all be able to talk to each other openly and honestly about our own individual pleasure needs without shame. As a society, dildos we can strive to make our world a space where people feel comfortable to explore whatever it is that brings them joy without fear of judgement. We must cultivate a space of acceptance and tolerance, and understand that pleasure is not something anyone should have to hide.
