10 Fun Facts You Didn't Know About Masturbation
"Hello, sex for one please, and plenty of it."
Masturbation. A night in for one. Playing with your hand or flicking the bean. Eurgh. Bean. Whatever you want to call it, you're aware of it and you probably do it yourself. The history of masturbation isn't exactly a pleasant one as it used to be considered destructive to living a good and moral lifestyle; so it didn't just make you a bad person in the eyes of society, but it was also thought to damage your state of mind. All that power in one hand... Of course, masturbating doesn't cause you any physical harm (unless you're a bit too, erm, vigorous) and it most definitely doesn't mess with your psychological state in the way that the Victorians believed that it did. But don't worry because it's common, it doesn't make you dirty and it's instinctive behaviour for both men and women. But here are some fun facts that you might not have known about the act of masturbation.
