But what's really interesting is that masturbation is kind of left out of the equation.
while we have these constant negotiations about what it means to have sex and have sex with other people, other genders, that's constantly in discussion, masturbation just kind of slips through the cracks.
So much so that it takes until this publication in 1712 for the term masturbation to even be coined.
Up until then, it was really just, as I say, such a normal part of the human experience that we didn't even think to give it a name.
Progressively worse and worse would be the non-official answer to that question.
Kellogg said that you could literally die by your own hand, which is a phrase that I love so much.
And if women's orgasm is not needed, then we need to stop her touching herself because it serves no social purpose other than giving her pleasure.
I think even the most sex positive people in our society have still had to go through a big process of unlearning this sense of guilt and shame that has been associated now for, as I say, two centuries.
But the main takeaway is that it has always been a part of the human experience and will continue to be part of the human experience.
And therefore, it's really important for us to have a good understanding about how we can engage with it in a healthy and ethical way.
