Who gives a toss?

Good old Channel 4. If nothing else, the broadcaster's latest promised offering will wind up the Daily Mail.

The San Francisco-based Centre for Sex and Culture has run mass masturbation events in the US for the past five years as a way of raising money for safe sex projects and groups, and is now organising its first such event in the UK.

On 5 August, men and women have been invited to gather in a hall in Clerkenwell, central London, to take part in a sponsored "masturbate-a-thon".

Whilst doing their thing, they’ll be filmed by independent production company Zig Zag for a documentary, provisionally titled Wank-a-thon, which is expected to air on Channel 4 late this year.

Prizes will be on offer for those who clock up the most orgasms and those who can masturbate the longest. Organisers say that the current record is eight-and-a-half hours.

That's enough to make most people clench their thighs together and wince.

To qualify for the record, the Centre for Sex and Culture says that "at least 55 minutes of every hour shall be spent self-pleasuring by manual or sex toy stimulation", with a meagre five minutes to "replenish and renew".

How could anyone manage 55 minutes, non-stop, with a Jessica Rabbit, for fuck's sake?

But setting such thoughts aside, people train to run 26 miles so, given the task ahead, how will these sexual athletes prepare for their marathon? What sort of training regime should be employed? Will a morning and an evening session suffice? Or would you be better advised to nip into the office loo for a not-too-quick tug at lunchtime too? And would the boss be understanding if your orgasmic groans were heard by colleagues?

One thing’s for certain; keep the lube handy and apply liberally!

Another thing: will this be one of those rare times when people will be called ‘wankers’ and won’t object?

And how will the Daily Mail review the eventual screening of the documentary without using the words ‘wank’ or ‘masturbation’? As of yesterday, a search for the latter on the Wail’s website produced nothing more than a series of problem-page letters along the lines of: ‘My boyfriend masturbates. Does he love me?’

What a load of wankers!

Hi Southern Comfort,

There's a link in the story, but http://www.masturbate-a-thon.com seems to be down at present.

The home site for the San Francisco Centre for Sex and Culture is at http://www.centerforsexandculture.org

And the story that I originally saw is from the Guardian and is at http://media.guardian.co.uk/broadcast/story/0,,1822750,00.html

Thanks for logging in and saying 'hello'.
