Masturbation isn’t bad. It provides most of the benefits of sex, many of which actively improve human health, with zero risk of disease or pregnancy. It is an objectively good thing that most of us ought to do more often. Not for pleasure, though pleasure is also good, but for our health.

But what if he had? Why are we shaming him for this? Why would we shame anyone for this?

Why are so many people anti-Trump? People didn't like Obama either, but he was the president, so people didn't do this. What makes Trump different?

It’s a creative form of masturbation that may feel pretty darn good.

We need to stop shaming people for healthy activities they do in the privacy of their own homes.

Creativity is also good, especially as the story would cause no harm to the couch and didn’t involve any direct contact with it. There’s no ick factor here, just a young person having fun in a way that doesn’t harm or impose upon anyone else.

This, if he’d done it, would be perfectly okay.

My husband asked me why do I keep on complaining about him cheating. Why don't I just leave?
