    Get those puns ready...

    I wonder how many people had a hand in organizing this...

    LONDON (Reuters) - Hundreds of Britons are being urged to attend what is being branded as Europe's first "Masturbate-a-thon", a leading reproductive healthcare charity said on Friday.

    Marie Stopes International, which is hosting the event with HIV/AIDS charity the Terrence Higgins Trust, said it expected up to 200 people to attend the sponsored masturbation session in Clerkenwell, central London, on Saturday.

    "It is a bit of a publicity stunt but we hope it will raise awareness," a Marie Stopes spokeswoman told Reuters.

    "We want to get people talking about safer sex, masturbation and to lift taboos."

    Participants, who have to be over 18, can bring any aids they need and can take part in four different rooms -- a comfort area, a mixed area, along with men and women only areas.

    However, the rules on the event's Web site states there can be no touching of other participants nor are people allowed to fake orgasms.

    "The amount you raise will be determined by how many minutes you masturbate and/or how many orgasms you achieve," the Web site said.

    The Marie Stopes spokeswoman said local religious groups had been initially outraged, but after people had heard what the event was about, most had approved it.

    Police had also given it their approval.

    Similar events have been staged in San Francisco for the last six years raising $25,000 (13,000 pounds) for women's health initiatives and HIV prevention. If successful, Marie Stopes said it could take place elsewhere in mainland Europe next year.

    Anyone seen the photos of the Japanese sex education class floating around?

    It's in a huge auditorium, and first shows a couple of hundred dressed girls standing on mattresses on the floor, each with their own mattress. Then a shot of them all standing at attention, with all their clothes in a pile beside them. Then they are laying on their respective mattresses doing what those Britons are doing to themselves, the girls, that is. Then their boyfriends/husbands are standing next to them, the girls presumably done with their self-pleasuring segment of the class. Then BF/hubbies are masturbating them (see? on topic... hand action!). Then they are doing different sex positions, with the couple of hundred couples all doing it in the, yes, the big auditorium. At the end, they all stand in a huge group, grins on their faces, nude, giving a thumbs up. Yes, I know, I used the word "then," a lot, being rather speechless from what I'm looking at. ;)

    Could any society but the Japanese do something like that?? WOW!!

    (not that there is anything wrong with it! ;) )


    I'm as liberal as the next guy... well, more liberal than the next guy, LOL, but this was pretty damned amazing, even to me! :eek:

    ^ Truly awesome. You sure that wasn't, like, p*rn you were looking at instead? :p

    My contribution to this thread: Sounds like a rather self-serving publicity stunt by the charity..

    Officials: Juror exposed himself inside courthouse
    August 5, 2006, 4:36 AM EDT

    NEW YORK -- A man serving on a grand jury has been charged for exposing himself inside a room at a federal courthouse, authorities said.

    Edwin Ng, 38, was charged with committing an act of public lewdness, disorderly conduct and destruction of government property, officials said.

    A female employee at U.S. District Court in Brooklyn saw the incident Friday and alerted authorities.

    Ng, of Brooklyn, was given a summons and told to appear before a federal magistrate at a later date. He faces up to a year in prison and a fine if convicted, officials said.

    Ng also was discharged from jury duty.

    How does one pronounce the last name "Ng?." Is it like "NNN" or "NNnng"
    or another variation? Or does it sound like the beginning of Nguyen?

    Its pronounced "ING" like at the end of a present tense verb conjugation.
