The PGspot: Self-Love Season: Celebrating Masturbation May

The PGspot

In this special Masturbation May episode, we journey through the rich (and often misunderstood) history of self-pleasure. From historical attitudes toward erotic autonomy to the invention of the first vibrator, we explore how solo sex has evolved - and how it's been shaped by science, stigma, and shifting societal norms. We'll examine the lasting impact of Puritanical values on modern views of masturbation, and take a comparative look at how different cultures around the world understand and engage with self-pleasure. It's time to challenge shame, reclaim pleasure, and recognize masturbation as a vital part of human sexuality and wellness.

I would love to hear your feedback about today's episode, as well as any questions or topics that you would like addressed in future episodes. Although "Fanmail" doesn't allow for me to respond back directly, I am happy to address any questions in upcoming episodes.
