I learned something new today. It's National Masturbation Month, which is celebrated all over the world, according to Dr. Carol Queen, a sexologist for "Good Vibrations", a sex toy shop in San Francisco (where else?). Meat beaters and dildo diddlers of the world, unite, you have nothing to lose but your you-know-what.
Even more interesting, in Brazil a court has declared it legal and acceptable that Ana Catarian Bezerra be allowed to masturbate at her workplace. It seems she suffers from extreme anxiety and finds relief in masturbation, which she has done up to forty-seven times a day. A doctor has put her on tranquilizers and reduced the need for such play to eighteen times a day.
It makes me nervous and tired just to contemplate that much manual action. I don't somehow think this action will become commonplace in the American workplace. Too distracting and detrimental to office efficiency. But I've been wrong before...
Some companies have found nap breaks beneficial to productivity. I think masturbation breaks would have the opposite effect, with everyone taking a nap afterwards.
