Event Profile
Guys do it, nice girls do it so say it out loud: Masturbation. Come As You Are encourages everyone to touch themselves for a good cause. The fourth annual Masturbate-A-Thon is a weekend of solo sex to raise funds for women's health organizations. Ask your friends and neighbours to sponsor you for every minute of masturbation during May 18-19. The event is held on the honour system and you decide how long you want to masturbate in the privacy of your own home. This year's charity is the Hassle Free Women's Clinic.
The top fundraisers in each category win prizes. If you use vibrators, watch porn or plug it in, enter in the "Plug in" section and win $100 off your May electricity bill. If you prefer batteries, enter the "Turn On" category and win $100 in batteries; and if you're a manual type of person, there is the "Lube Up" category where you can win $100 of lubricant. If you do a little (or a lot) of everything, try the "Get Off" category and try to win a $100 gift certificate to Come As You Are.
Why Masturbate?
It feels good.
It helps maintain good pelvic blood flow and strong pc muscles.
It's safe sex.
You don't have to worry if your partner came.
You learn what's best for your pleasure by masturbating, which in turn improves your sex life with your partners.
It's great for stress relief and can help you sleep.
Interesting Masturbatory Facts:
According to the latest issue of Flare magazine, in the 1800s, physicians induced orgasm, considering it a valid treatment for hysteria because they thought the condition was triggered by sexual deprivation. Eventually, a doctor invented the vibrator so women could "treat" themselves at home. Yet in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, western doctors blamed masturbation for everything from mental illness and tuberculosis to loose morality. Treatments varied from spiked rings to prevent nocturnal erections in boys and clitoridectomies (removal of the clitoris) for women. An orgasm is considered a good way to temporarily relieve menstrual cramps in women and stimulate the prostate gland in men, reducing the incidence of prostate infections.
The Hassle Free Women's Clinic is a community-based clinic providing medical and counseling services in all areas of sexual health. It is the largest anonymous HIV test site in Canada, and one of the country's busiest sexually transmitted disease clinics. The clinic provides services related to all facets of women's sexual and reproductive health.
