Sometimes I can not believe the things I see — Masturbation Month Sale advertised in the Daily Beast.
I am not saying it is wrong but it is jolting for someone who was raised in the 1960’s and 1970’s. I didn’t even know the correct spelling of masturbation until a few months ago and I am a little embarrassed about using the word even today but I had to relay this important information to all of my reader.
You can thank me later.
Sometimes when I see ads, like the one below, against all better judgment on my part, I surrender to my curiosity and click on the Learn More link. Even though I know it is going to be disappointing, Even though I know it is linking me with some business network who, now knowing that I exist and am willing to learn more, will flood me with more and similar advertisements. Even though, there is a strong possibility that it is loading malware on to my computer. Despite all these risks, I press the learn more link.
The one above is taunting me right now. They hooked me with the sexual tag line and then I wondered what on earth could they be talking about. What biological reason might cause one to masturbate after 50 – other than horniness and convenience? I know it will be a disappointment. They always are. But, I, sort of, want to know and the learn more link will tell me. It is right there waiting for me to depress the learn more link.
It’s really important to learn more, right?
Take my word for it, it isn’t. Do not ever click on the learn more link. If you do, two annoying things will occur. You will page through about a hundred pages of nonsense and each page will have advertisements. They really don’t have anything to say about the topic, or nothing new or interesting, but it doesn’t matter. They weren’t trying to educate you, they wanted to show you their advertisements. And, boy will they advertise to you now that they know you are a person willing to learn more.
All I wanted was to sate my desire to learn more about was why people might be masturbating after 50. Something, by the way, I wasn’t the least bit concerned about until I saw the above. Bastards.
I saw the above advertisement in the Cheap Undies site the keeps sending me emails totally against my will — just so you know that I would never solicit this kind of material on my own. It just comes to me. Twice a day. Against my will. Really. Believe me.
Any way, I have asked before and I will ask again. Is grabbing one’s junk a good pose for selling men’s underwear? I think I know why in this case. The company wanted to show the see through capacity of the underwear without showing the male appendage. But it just drew my eyes to the appendage and I am straining my eyes to see if I can determine if those are fingers or the male appendage.
I am seeing this grabbing the junk pose with increasing frequency and every time I see it I think the same thing. This is crossing a line. I don’t know what line it is crossing but it just feels like a little too much even for a liberal gay guy like myself.
Is this crossing a line? Or am I showing my age? Any thoughts?
