Masturbation: Victorian Vs. Modern Society

Hello Everyone!

I’m back this week with another edition of Victorian Naughtiness… or something of the like. This week’s topic is masturbation. What was the public opinion on the matter? Did people EVER masturbate or??

Find out more below!

In Victorian times, masturbation was seen as a downright moral disgrace. Completely shunned by society, masturbation was even believed to cause heart disorders, cancer and hysteria (hello! OBVIOUSLY this one is true ;). Some even claimed that while it may not cause the 3 former conditions (Wth? they don’t even know?), it would surely worsen an existing health concern. It would also, undoubtedly, lead to hopeless insanity that was inheritable by your offspring. So, ladies and gentleman, be wary of masturbation as it is literally a sickness that can be transferred to your children! (hehe, kidding!)

Lastly, in the rarest of cases, some women accused of masturbation were subject to clitoridectomy (removal of clitoris). In extreme and extremely rare cases, even children or babies thought to be touching themselves might be subjected to clitoridectomy (not sure why little boys and men never were; can you guess?) and forever shamed by society or sent to convents. In spite of it all, masturbation was most likely still practiced during this time although it was likely a VERY personal secret due to the serious consequences one subjected themselves to if caught in the act. It is even more likely that masturbation was rare, not due to lack of desire, but only due to fear of the repercussions.

Back to the present! Thank goodness, all that talk of clitoridectomy really freaks me out. Thankfully, in modern days, society frowns upon the act of clitoridectomy rather than encourages it. Nowadays, masturbation is much more acceptable and sometimes even openly discussed among peers. Sex has graciously become a topic widely discussed as the years rush on. Still, with all the open minds, there are small populations of people who still consider masturbation immoral and wrong, specifically certain religious sects who believe this practice to be a sin against God and a way to bring Satan into your life(I do not believe in this!). I have actually even found websites that claim masturbation to be harmful to the body which I believe is completely and totally false. Studies have shown that masturbation and sex are both physically beneficial to the body, the heart, and your immunity. Whatever your beliefs, I humbly beg you to visit a credible medical website (WebMD is a good one!) or contact your primary physician with your concerns.

3 Fun Ideas For Valentine’s Day 2011

Whether you’re deciding to spend it with someone you love or you’re single and ready to mingle or perhaps you want to spend it simply with some friends. Whatever your plans, here are some fun ideas that can apply to any and/or all of you, depending on who you’re with.

Dinner & Movie Date: This idea may seem old fashioned, but bringing it back this Valentine’s Day in style could be just the ticket for couples and singles alike. Whenever I found myself single (which used to be a LOT! :P), my girl friends and I would get together on Valentine’s Day for dinner and a movie to avoid eating a gallon of ice cream at home alone. Yeah, ladies, you know what I’m talking about! SO, in order to avoid major pounds gained on V-day, we would all meet up at a restaurant and either do a Secret Santa type gift exchange or, depending on how many people make it, simply buy gifts for one another. It doesn’t need to be anything too expensive or big, but it should be in the name of self love. If you’re close and comfy with your friends, this could mean a vibrator or mini lubricants, but if you’re unsure, stick with feminine, beauty or personal products. Romance Attack has some cute items available here. If you have guys in your group, shaving kits are cool, travel size colognes or even small $5-$10 gift cards will do. For the movie, a comedy is suggested to keep spirits up and enjoy laughs and generally have a good time. If you prefer to avoid couples, rent some flicks and go to a friend’s house for movie night.

If you’re attached, married, and/or in love or possibly just having fun with someone exclusively, dinner and a movie is fun for couples too! In your case, I would decide on a restaurant early and make reservations. If you can, choose somewhere off the usual path of eateries. Last year, my boyfriend and I were literally cattle called into a Rainforest Cafe with a little less than 3 inches between us and the other couples around us. I felt like I could have commented on their conversation during the meal. Awkward. So for this reason, avoid the usual franchises if you can or plan to make dinner at home. For the movie option, agree on a fun film you both would like to see or rent some films and enjoy them on the couch without the crowd. Then you can easily transition to the bedroom when things get hot and heavy!

Spend A Romantic Night In: Valentine’s Day can be a scary train wreck of an event if you’re unprepared. Actually, even when I make an effort to call in reservations at a restaurant, it’s still packed everywhere. Therefore, I propose Valentine’s be spent at home. Whether you’re single or attached, the night can definitely be fun. If you’re single, plan a pot luck at your home or a friend’s home, make dinner or cater if you can afford to spend. Spend the evening drinking (21+ Only!) and dining with good friends and interesting conversations. Gift exchanges are fun, if your group is into that, but either way, you’re sure to have a good time. If you’re all girls, chick flicks are a go, but if you plan on having guys over too, dancing or karaoke are fun options to consider.

If you’re planning on spending this Valentines Day with your beau, perhaps one of you could plan to make dinner for the other or it can also be a joint effort. Decide on a new recipe to try or plan an old fashioned 5 course meal. Exchange gifts if you wish and end the night with naughty games, a movie or some fun alone time. Fun Couples Kits for these events are always a great addition to the night! If you’re a lady in a relationship, check out some Sexy Shoes & Lingerie for that special night. If you’re really daring, get one of these and do a naughty striptease for your lover.

Visit A Museum, Theme Park Or Go On An Adventure!: Whether you’re single or attached, this is a fun option to spend this special day. You can choose to visit a local museum or art gallery, Disneyland or another nearby amusement park, or go on an adventure. Museums are fun for those who enjoy learning new things or enjoy history or art, depending on the type of museum or gallery that you visit. For adventurers, Skydiving, Rock or Mountain Climbing or simply taking a hike are all fun ways to spend the day. If you choose to do something in the great outdoors, a picnic is a nice addition. If you can’t get to the wilderness, but fancy outdoor activities, many indoor rock climbing gyms have been popping up everywhere. Hit up google to find one close to you.

All in all, if you’re single or attached or somewhere in between, there are plenty of fun ways to spend this greeting card holiday. However you decide to spend it, make sure there’s plenty of laughs to be had and a great memories made. Worst case scenario, check out our Couples Kits, Toys for Men or Toys for Women for a Good Time Anytime!

Good luck!
