that's because there's nothing funny about masturbation. or so kegmama says. but i disagree.

there is no such thing as intellectual masturbation.
Just as there is no such thing as "thinking too much"

anyone who suggests it is just jealous of the mental girth and length!

There is totally such a thing as intellectual masturbation.
It's called a book club.
Or an artist's lecture.

ha ha

this reminds me of our book club from last summer, what a debacle that turned out to be. i blame arthelion for deserting us in our hour of need.

to the list of intellectual masturbation(s) i'll add then (for the fun):

a phd in the humanities
wire magazine
music discussions on the internet
religious, political, and philosophical discusion on the internet.
the internet.

Is it masturbatory to discus these things offline? does the masturbation element depend on the location? (I'd say it could be deemed masturbatory to discuss music in a chalet at ATP. Or with strangers at a gig. Also, to discuss politics/philosophy/religion in a student lounge I'd call public masturbation... but it's possibly not masturbatory to discuss any of the above in, say, a pub.. or comedy club.. or when lying on the floor half-asleep after a party. I'd call that either conversation, entertainment or wastedness.)



Now now, we all know there's nothing intellectual about 99% of the masturbation that goes on because of the internet.

So wrong. Intellectual masturbation comes with not making a clear and to the point observation about the world that surrounds you. Likely culprits on this forum or offline know, or more often don't know who they are.

I consider nothing to be intellectual masturbation, unless someone is being pretentious.

wow, you must smoke a lot of weed to lubricate your mind.
