Celebrate with #MayWeRub
"ninety-eight percent of us masturbate, and the other two percent are liars." -Quote from EVERY masturbation month post!
WHAT IS IT:
National Masturbation Month was started by Good Vibrations (a sex store) in 1995 as a way to protest the firing of U.S. Surgeon General Jocelyn Elders, who had suggested that masturbation be part of sex education. So do her a solid and not ONLY rub one out, but also SHARE the good news!!! Teach, educate, and buy one of your friends who you know wasn't taught to love herself/himself a toy!!! Lets not let Elders have been fired in vain, lets keep her conversation and dream alive and going!!!
WHY DID THEY CHOOSE MAY?
Good Vibes choose May because I guess it has long been seen as symbolizing sexual awakening. They also choose it for the simple fact "May" and "masturbation" both start with "M". Hey it just goes together!!
MASTURBATION ON FILM Masturbation is so taboo, it wasn't till the 1990s that people kinda started talking about it. The first mainstream mention was 1992 on Seinfeld, George tells his friends how his mother caught him masturbating!!! the most out in the open coverage it got was when Sex in the City made the Rabbit famous in 1998, and finally women everywhere got the nerve to go and buy themselves a toy! On Friends season 9 (2002) Monica caught Chandler masturbating! Now it is slowly showing up in more films Not Another Teen movie and The To Do List had awesome women masturbation scenes! Also its on more TV shows as well, soon it may be just as common as sex scenes.
Hopefully those shows will help more people see masturbation is Fun and Normal, like they think of sex, and maybe less teens will be hopping on each other and instead will start playing with themselves. My opinion is just like that old quote "learn to love yourself, before loving someone else" Well discover/explore your own body, before you explore someone else! Learn what you like, so you know. So many women are so concerned with pleasing others that they don't worry about pleasing themselves, and a lot of it has to do with the fact they don't know how or if it is even possible (I was one of those girls)

SAFETY
Buy safe, non-toxic, non-porous and phthalates free sex toys from a trusted source that care about their customers, like shevibe.com! Better yet (if you are new to sex toys) go to your local sex shop (if there is one) and smell the toys, touch them?? Do they stink, feel sweaty, oily, gross? Don't get them! Ask the employee who will be more then happy to help you, for their recommendation! Don't be nervous or embarrassed they have seen and heard it all!!!
Make sure to buy and use lube!!! If you are using a silicone toy (cyberskin, vikskin, etc) use a water based lube DO NOT use a silicone or oil lube that can ruin your toy, also beware the hybrid lube that has silicone in it along with water that still will also ruin your toy. But if your toy is not silicone (hard plastic, aluminum, ceramic, steel, granite, wood, marble, glass, etc) or you are old fashioned hand using type of gal, opt for some silicone lube or hybrid! Especially if you dry up quickly or are planning on playing in the bath, as silicone and oil will last longer. (They are also harder to clean)
((I personally use a coconut lube for just about everything! For sex, for sex toys, masturbation! The only time I opt for a different type is when I use it during oral/finger fun! I give my bf a flavored lube to use on me (not really necessary or used often but it is a tasty treat, and if your partner isn't big on your taste or smell this may be helpful) I do own a silicone lube and it is nice and thick and smooth, but I don't have any oil lube!))
As for cleanup silicone, cyberskin and plastic toys, you can use a mild antibacterial soap and warm water. You can also boil silicone or Pyrex toys, but never boil glass or other heat-sensitive materials. Also consider using a specialized toy cleaner, these products can make cleanup easier! They also contain antibacterial substances. They are worthwhile to have if your a regular sex toy user!
If you’re going to attend any sex parties, make sure that you know how to safely share your toys!!! ;-) Condom them up if your going to be dipping from partner to partner, and also if going from vaginal to anal!
After cleanup dry your toys and store them in a safe, clean place! If they came with a pouch those are nice to protect your toy from dust and keep them in good condition! (I wrap mine in bandannas)

CLOSEING STATEMENT
Remember ignore the LIES and masturbation haters! Elder Mark E. Petersen of the Church of Latter Day Saints wrote an article called “Steps in Overcoming Masturbation” he teaches you how to cure yourself of those impure thoughts and overcome its evil!!! Well I say F*** those lies, masturbation is important if anything the LDS church should be teaching there teens that is is A-OK to masturbate, masturbation is the ultimate safe sex, and I bet it would help stay them to stay pure till marriage. We need to remind people that masturbation is natural, common, and fun! Let's not be so private about what we do in our private time. Remember masturbation is both a privilege and a right.
Bring it out in the open, help the people that have been lied to feel better about what they're doing, and if they are not doing it, we want to encourage it!!!! Masturbation is the cornerstone to a healthy sex life, it gives you the key information and awareness that you need to enjoy sex!!! I didn't masturbate most of my life, and did I orgasm with a partner? NOPE! Did I know how to communicate what I liked? Nope!! Shoot, I didn't even know what I liked. It wasn't until I got with my current partner who is 13 years older then me, and he told me I need to masturbate in order to be able to cum. I needed to figure out what I enjoy and learn to communicate that! Finally I did and it is such a blessing!!! We need to teach our children that it is healthy and necessary and completely normal!! Sexual pleasure is your birthright! Orgasms are a "inalienable constitutional right," according to sexologist Carol Queen! It teaches and is a expression of self love, become your own #1 lover. So you KNOW that you do not need a man (or other women) to make you feel good or make you feel loved! You need to know that you can do it, and that you can do you best at that!!!
