Merry Month of Masturbation (MMOM)- day 1

[meridian_rose]

As I wrote about before, it is the tenth anniversary of mmom, the merry month of masturbation. I'm going to try and write fic for it this time around. I have in the past featured it in my fanfic (not written specifically for that comm); 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

And in my original fic; Different Does Not Mean Changed

I've also talked about why masturbation is an important subject generally and tackled some myths – it's not unhealthy but rather a great way to avoid most of the risks associated with partnered sex; it's not selfish and it can be the primary way women in particular achieve (or learn to achieve) orgasm; it's not a lesser experience, nor something that just stops if you have a partner but something most people engage in whether they're in a relationship or not - and how it's particularly important for me:
Asexuality and Masturbation part one; part two

There might be original fic or meta amongst the fanfic this time too.

Last year allbingo posted a Solo celebration bingo card. The comm is hosting something different this year but given the laidback nature of the comm last year's card or any variant you make can be used.

With all the het, slash, femslash fics and variety of kink memes, it continues to surprise and sadden me that masturbation is so overlooked. Here's to creating and consuming more works featuring people talking about and engaging in it.
