"Do you think there's a difference between jacking off and masturbating?"
Of course, there's a difference. In my opinion, anyway. Jacking off is a means to an end - to satisfy the a boner, to get your rocks off, to relieve the ache in the balls.
There's nothing wrong with that, mind you. It might even be done in an effort to calm nerves before a presentation, or as a sleep aid, to pound one out before a date - so partner sex will last longer.
Masturbation is taking your time and enjoying it for the pleasurable sensations along the way to ejaculation.
There's a reason the colloquial term is "self pleasure."
Faithful Reader Ian would like us to have a discussion. He sent these two music AI-created music videos (which is a thing, I guess?)
and then poses the question:
"These cowboy songs perhaps hold the promise of replacing Dad jokes and enabling adult male talk among men via humour.
It's even worse with women feeling they are the only ones deserving choice over sex and not understanding that every time a woman chooses not to have sex, they are also choosing for men, who get no independent choice of their own. There's a queue of men behind every woman waiting for them to say yes, but not the reverse, because men's sexual expression is currently tied to womens choice. That isn't to say we advocate for men overriding women's choice over sex, but men need to be able to make their own choice over sexual expression and have that fulfllled like every woman on this planet potentially can, if they only said yes, and this means breaking the monopoly women have over sex by making men aware of other possibilities that gay men have understood for ages because of need."
Well, I think women are becoming more sexually active, but they do get to decide --- like everyone should --- who they will engage with.
The old adage, 'Necessity is the mother of invention,' rings true, though. If men want sexual release or fulfillment, there are options, and having a male FWB has become more acceptable within mainstream society. Bisexuality has been accepted as "normal." Which, I think, may be why the evangelicals have been pushing back so intently.
