Blogging is Like Masturbation because....

Andrew Boyd asks the important questions.

# it often gives the greatest pleasure to one person alone,
# it can feel weird doing it with someone looking over your shoulder,
# your spouse/partner/husband/girlfriend probably can’t understand why you’re doing this thing that doesn’t involve them (and you might be sneaking off to do it more often than they would like),
# sometimes you do it because it makes you feel good, and other times you just do it because you have to,


more guilt inducing squirmyness here.

Classic. I am just off to make a cup of tea blog now.

Thanks Andrew.

-You can't wait to do it but afterwards you feel slightly disappointed
-Some days you just can't get the energy up to finish
-you feel like all your dead relatives are looking down at you sternly
-the anticipation is sometimes better than the outcome
-with a hand held device, you can do it anywhere you want
-sometimes you misjudge it and things get messy

I'd better stop now...

oh fantastic post. I'd never seen the correlation before and I now I can't stop thinking about it... the correlation, ie.

You know I've written some things about whacking the meat monkey if you want to pop over for a squizz.

Hi Colin,

thank you for the link and for the encouragement. You seemed to get that it wasn't really about masturbation at all, but the freedom to do something that didn't get in anyone else's way :)

Best regards, Andrew

PS: If anyone is interested in masturbation but hasn't already seen it, I heartily recommend Ms Smack's wonderful blog :)
