May 7th is the international masturbation day! Did you ​May 7th is International Masturbation Day! Did you know? If not, now that you do know, how are you going to celebrate it? Have you even celebrated it before?

You might think this is just a silly internet gooner idea, but no: In 1994, Dr. Elders was forced to resign after suggesting at a UN conference that masturbation should be discussed in schools as a way to prevent young people from engaging in riskier sexual behaviors. Supporters launched this day to turn that controversy into a celebration of self-love and sexual health education.

​Beyond the goofy headlines you might see, this day serves as a vital reminder that personal health includes understanding our own bodies. It is about reclaiming a natural aspect of human biology from shame and silence. By promoting self-care and autonomy, we foster a healthier society that values informed choices over stigma. Whether you view it as a political statement or a simple moment of relaxation, the core message remains the same: education is empowerment.

Listen to me going on and babbling away. Anyways make sure to love yourself and take care of your own needs 🥰

Before your needs take care of you 😳
