May is National Masturbation Month! [View all]
https://sfstandard.com/2023/05/08/national-masturbation-month-a-quickie-history-of-this-sf-born-holiday/National Masturbation Month, a 31-day celebration of self-love, is well known in certain circles, thanks to the likes of nationally syndicated columnist and host of the Savage Love podcast, Dan Savage, and to promotions by sex toy companies. But did you know that the monthlong ode to solo sex was actually born in San Francisco?
Recently, the longtime sex educator, author and pleasure activist Carol Queen—who is the staff sexologist at SF sex shop Good Vibrations, director and co-founder of the evolving Center for Sex and Culture, and who literally holds a Ph.D. in the art and science of lovemaking—kindly reminded us that the celebratory season of pleasing one’s self has its roots in the same city that birthed the Summer of Love.
