I chose this video to represent masturbation. This video clip is from the TV show One Tree Hill, one of the teenage girls gets caught masturbating in the bathroom and is so embarassed she denies doing it. Later the friend that caught her tells everyone, they all laugh and turn the whole thing into a joke.
"Tis nothing good or bad but thinking it makes it so "--William Shakespeare
-This quote was associated to the idea of masturbation. In some cultures masturbation is considered a taboo and people feel embarrassed and uncomfortable discussing this idea. It is considered self abuse to some people.
Most religions consider masturbation a waste because it is not male and female coitus.
Third wave feminists believe that masturbation is empowering, that each woman is reponsible for her own pleasure and orgasm.
In the clip posted previously, there is alot of embarassment about the whole idea of masturbation so much that the girl caught tries to deny having done it. On the other hand, the other girl playing "I Never" admits openly about doing it all the time without uncomfort or embarssment.
It definately depends on ones religion and culture that sways one's opinions and views about the idea of masturbation, and it still continues to be embarassing and uncomfortable to discuss.
