National Masturbation Month: Give Yourself a Hand

Jacking offYes, you read that right: It's National Masturbation Month. Every May. All month long. At least in the United States.

NMM was started in 1995 by the San Francisco sex toy and education company, Good Vibrations. The previous year, America's first black Surgeon General, Jocelyn Elders had been forced to resign because of a single masturbation-affirming sentence she uttered in response to an audience question at a World AIDS Day speech.

In reaction, Good Vibrations began NMM to keep the focus on the issue, enhance public awareness, and to provide education and support for a simple, pleasurable, and healthy act.

A recent article by Examiner health columnist Jefferson Adams explains all this and goes on to point out that masturbation has a number of important health benefits for both men and women.

Nakedism joins Good Vibrations and others in promoting and supporting this enjoyable, healthy activity. Have you loved yourself today?
