Now here’s something you won’t hear about on this side of the Atlantic…A government sponsored program aimed at teaching teens “self-pleasure” techniques!

I think Spain should get the award for Progressive Health Care Nation indeed.

Of course, the religious parties are going bonkers over this – saying such a “touchy” *ahem* topic should be left for parents to discuss with their budding sexuality.

The target demographic is between 14-17 years of age, using pamphlets, etc. and also deals with issues of contraception and self-respect. Although the article doesn’t specify the “why” for this new outreach program, I’m assuming it’s to counter non-solo-teen-sex and lower teen pregnancy/STI rates.

Sounds good to me…At least from a logical adult perspective.

However, thinking back, I’m not sure I would’ve appreciated a cute-little government-made pamphlet trying to convince me that masturbation was better than “the real thing”. (Who are they kidding?!)

I can see these teens getting a good laugh out of it (maybe an actual pointer or two – “OK Ladies, now right HERE is where you’ll find your clit! You know,  just in case you’ve never noticed that super-sensitive spot on your body in the past 15 or so years!”).

Even worse, I can see teens taking pamphlets concerning the Other Gender (assuming they’re heterosexual) to get free sex tips on how to better pleasure their partners. It makes sense. If I wanted to know how to better pleasure my “boyfriend” and this pamphlet is made to teach HIM how to do it to HIMSELF, then wouldn’t it make sense for me to read THAT one instead? Yup. Yup.

So while I like the message and the forward thinking of this campaign, there might be some real-world design flaws that actually teach teens how to have better sex with Each Other rather than themselves – obviously undermining the actual campaign altogether.

Can’t “Win for Losing” I guess…*sighs*

***Other News Update*** I’m not sure what’s going on with this website-builder-guy I mentioned. I brought in one of my friends to see his new site and I think he was hitting on her…It was one of those situations where it could have been him just being “nice” – but afterward she asked if I’d noticed and we couldn’t decide either way – lol. Maybe I’ll bring her around more often just to see what happens between them Haha. So Bad.***

“I’m tired of using technology, why don’t you sit down on top of me? I’m tired of using technology, I need you right in front of me.” ~ Ayo Technology ~ Lyrics by 50 Cent & Justin Timberlake ~

As technology continues to aggressively permeate every aspect of our modern-day Western lives, including our closely held sexual expressions, could a sex-tech backlash be just around the corner?

Subjective Arousal is Different for Men and Women

For men, the process of arousal is pretty straight forward – 99% of the time an erect penis means he feels sexually excited. Sure there are exceptions here and there, but for the most part this correlation holds true.

Women, on the other hand, are a completely different story! Although her body may be displaying signs of sexual arousal (erect nipples, dilated pupils, a wet vagina, etc.) it does not mean she is subjectively “feeling” turned-on. In fact, research

Way back in the late 1800′s the first vibrator was created as a medical device intended to treat and cure hysteria – a “disease” which only affected women and was characterized by: irritability, depression, confusion, heart palpitations, forgetfulness, insomnia, headaches, muscle spasms, ticklishness or weepiness (Lindemann, 2006).

Apparently the founders of modern medicine, all men let’s remember, decided that women who suffered from any of the above conditions would feel much better if they simply orgasmed more.

I have to start by thanking Kristofer for pointing out that May has been declared National Masturbation Month since 1995 by the wonderful people over at Good Vibrations. How this has slipped by me is anyone’s guess, so I’m giving you, my dear reader, my not-so-sincerest apologies for having missed this monumental event in the past.
