I Like to Jerk Off to Porn

I spend a lot of time surfing the Internet for porn, watching adult DVDs and satisfying my basic needs as a man with the latest in modern technology. I'm thankful for the many websites geared towards people of my background, and I'm thankful that I'm not the only perv in the universe. The fact is, sex is a vital part of life for everyone - even priests and nuns need to masturbate. We would be denying our natural instincts if we denied the fact that everyone needs to get off once in a while.

The way I see it, there's absolutely nothing wrong with consenting adults having sex, or watching other consentual couples, threesomes or groups engaging in sexual activity in the privacy of their own home. Texas finally became a part of the 21st century recently when they offered legal acceptance of gay marriages. It's this old-school mentality that governs local obscenity laws in a number of states and localities. Some states, like Alabama, have statewide regulations that deny adults the legal right to masturbate using a visual aid. Sad, but true. It amazes me that as free as our nation is, it is still controlled by an eighteenth century mentality.

As a twenty-something, straight male, professional New Yorker that's a bit on the shy side, I find myself in an awkward predicament. Working long hours, I do not have time to meet women in an ideal setting. As a result, I find myself going to bars and clubs every weekend not just to hang out with the boys, but to meet potential sex partners and perhaps a more long-term partner. Truthfully speaking, this is easier said than done. For the GQ, 6'1" prize hunk of a man, getting laid in this setting may not be a problem. However, most guys just don't fit this model. I happen to be a short, stocky dude that isn't good at drunken small-talk. For a guy like me, trying to get laid can be a real chore, and getting shot down is a regular thing. Don't get me wrong - I do get laid, but it takes work.

For those dry spells inbetween, I rely on my porn DVD collection, my bottle of Jergens and the few minutes in the morning between when my roommate leaves for work and I get up. Yes, it's true, I jerk off, every day in fact. I like jerking off and I will never stop masturbating for as long as my equipment is working. Even if I'm lucky enough to find a full-time girlfriend or wife, there will be those nights when she's not in the mood, or those periods when she's bloated, and on those occasions I will no doubt pick up a dirty magazine and hide in the bathroom with the fan on to muffle the sound of my shaft stroking.

Many of you can relate to what I'm talking about. We've all been there. Spanking the monkey, waxing the candle, slapping the salami, there are a million names for male masturbation, and for good reason. Don't be ashamed of the fact that you need to release your sexual tension in a self-indulgent way. It's perfectly normal. To those that say smut is wrong and porn should be banned I say thank God for pornography. Without porn, there would be more frustrated men on the streets doing who-knows-what to blow a load, and there would be more otherwise monogamous women giving themselves to strange men on an everyday basis (though I could live with that). Open your eyes America, and see the good within.
