Government rules on masturbation



News is slow to reach this still very wet corner of North Wales, and so I am grateful to an NHS BLOG DOCTOR reader for drawing my attention to an hilarious document, entitled Pleasure, which has been produced by NHS Sheffield.
For too long, say the authors, experts have concentrated on the need for safe sex and committed relationships.

“Together with your five portions of fruit and veg a day and 30 minutes of physical activity three times a week, what about sex or masturbation twice a week?”
Much hilarity amongst the medical profession, but the Archbishop is not amused. This is just more New Labour top-down micromanagement. Is there no part of our private lives in which they will not interfere? Too silly words. Twice weekly masturbation? How precisely does Gordon Brown propose to enforce such a restriction of teenagers? Oh! Dear. I fear it is back to the cork and a piece of string

So basically Old people who need care and attention should be shunted off to Dignitis at their own expense. while the government spends out tax on producing pilot studies and leaflets about how often we should masterbate. The ancient greeks used to throw their elderly off cliffs. we are not much more civilised nowadays are we. Those rich posh "musical operatic" people are supporting euthanasia and by doing so they are contributing to saying "its ok". lets face it they are role models to lots of people: being intellegent and middle class ect. by endorsing it they are saying it is acceptable. soon it WILL be acceptable. how else will they cope with the fact that for every one young person in 50 years time, there will be 4 old people. "OH I KNOW we will restrict masterbation and therefore zinc levels."

Perhaps the government should be encouraging masturbation or even mutual masturbation, on the basis that it might help to keep down the birth rate amongst teenagers - it certainly worked for my age group! Maybe I led a sheltered life but I didn't know anyone who got pregnant while still at school. There were rumours of one girl who had run away with an older man but her parents tracked them down and took her back home.

Thank you! Your help is appreciated, Very very interesting article. Thanks for collecting and providing so much info. Erectile dysfunction is certainly a curse to the mankind as because of it many couples are ending their marriages because of the unsatisfactory sex life. Erectile dysfunction has lead to divorce among many couples in the world. The population in many countries is taking a toll because of erectile dysfunction. It happens in rare cases that a couple shares a healthy relationship without having a satisfactory sex life. Men always feel embarrassed if they are unable to perform well on bed. They even face social stigma as a consequence. Such people, it’s seen, lose their confidence level. The feel of not being able to give total satisfaction to the partner kills them from inside. .Erectile dysfunction has also lead to the breaking of marriages. The partners of the men suffering from the erectile dysfunction starts to believe that her husband is losing interest in her or that she is no longer attractive to him. The unsatisfactory sex makes the woman feel inadequate, contributing to rejection, loneliness and depression. Thus, it is very necessary for the men to discuss with their female partners if they are suffering with the erectile dysfunction. The female partners should support their husbands in treating the erectile dysfunction.Don’t worry about the erectile dysfunction because it is 100% treated with the help of medicines like Generic Viagra

Are you sure you are not thinking of the Spartan approach to congenital disease?
