#Masturbation

Masturbation is the ultimate solo entertainment, short-circuiting the pleasure circuitry with one’s own fingertips. It is so universal that society averts its gaze, yet so taboo it is seldom spoken aloud. The nightly ritual becomes a hymn to both undisturbed dominion and the loneliness that allows it. Once captivated by its sweetness, all rational thought is instantaneously drowned out. Concludes with a fleeting euphoria and a dollop of regret—a bizarre ceremony of self-validation.
