I remember in the 90s when masturbation was beginning to be de-fanged as it were. It was the first of the sexual taboos to become more and more talked about in the mainstream. Bill Clinton's surgeon general, Joycelyn Elders, was even promoting jacking off to help curb teen pregnancy and STD infections. She was promptly fired by President Clinton. Oh The Irony!
I never felt bad about rubbing one out. It feels good and well clears the head. And yes, afterwards, I always wash my hands. To me the best song and video of the 90s about getting off solo is the Divinyls 'I Touch Myself'. The song doesn't hold up well--most pop songs from the 90s don't--but I still remember listening to it so much I received it as a Christmas present from my mom. When it comes to music, my mom has never been one to really censor what we listen to. My mom is actually pretty bad ass.
Growing up gay as a teenager in the 90s was interesting in a sense I was on the cusp with everyone else when it came to breaking all sexual taboos in the mainstream. Sometimes I miss those feelings of discovery. And yes especially the thrill of touching myself in those early years.
What are your thoughts on fucking yourself?
