Nearly every masturbator has at sometime encountered the shroud of shame that often surrounds the act of masturbation. In the teasing of teenagers, jokes in books or movies, disapproval of parents or religious figures, prohibition by athletic coaches and scout leaders, casual insults equating masturbation with ineffectualness (what a jerk-off!), etc. Even if the masturbator has never or no longer feels a personal shame for his habit, he can not escape being touched at some point by societies opprobrium. This podcasturbation is dedicated to that aspect of our vocation, and even revels in the naughtiness of it all.
