How does meladie take place in pop culture? We collected the facts. Here are ten information about masturbation in pop.
1. The songs about masturbation
From the “Orgasm Addict” of the Buzzcocks to Britney Spears’ “Touch of My Hand”, by Roxy Musics “In Every Dream Home A Hearthache” to Radioheads “Thinking About You”: Everywhere you deal with this type of self -employment. Also included: Tocotronics “don’t do it yourself” (“Those who do too much themselves will finally become stupid – except masturbation”).
2. The chart breaker
In 1967, The Who had a number four hit in England with her praise for the “Pictures of Lily”, which kept the band from sleepless nights. In 1972 Chuck Berry reached first place in the USA with “My Ding-A-Ling”. Pink landed a global top ten hit with “U + Ur Hand” in 2006. Other chartbreaker on the topic: Among other things, Billy Idol’s “Dancing with MySelf ‘”, Cindy Lauper’s “She Bop” and the unabashed “I Touch Myelf” of the Divinyls.
3. Björk swears by it
Contrary to centuries that are circulating that masturbation leads to blindness, brain softening, spinal cord loss, cancer, madness and leprosy, is not associated with health damage. She can protect the man from prostate cancer and increase the performance of both sexes. Björk confesses to masturbating twice every day before starting work: “Only then does the day really start,” she says.
4. “Penis injuries in masturbation with vacuum cleaners”
You still have to be careful: head on our own traffic. Especially when using “toys”. The 1978 dissertation “Penis injuries in masturbation with vacuum cleaners” by urologist Michael Alschibaja Theimuras testifies to this. Charlotte Roche went together with Christoph Maria Herbst in 2005 and on some appointments with Heinz Strunk on reading trip, where she performed extracts from the work.
5. Be careful
Michael Hutchence was found in a belt hanged in a hotel room in Sydney in 1997. The official corpses wrote down “suicide”, friends of the Inx singer and his brother, however, assume that Hutchence became the victim of a failed masturbation experiment with breathing control, a practice from the bondage area. The death of the Czech composer Frantisek Kotzwara, who died in the strangulation sex with a prostitute (who previously refused to cut his testicles) in 1791, is the first recorded death of this kind.
6. The George-Michaelsache
One should not (more) make it public … In addition to speeches, Diogenes also publicly his limb and philosophized about the glory of masturbation. About 2358 years later, his compatriot George Michael was arrested in a park toilet in Los Angeles in the public processing of his limb by a camouflaged civil police officer. Michael: “This man followed me in the toilet and started a game with me. I think this game is called, I show you mine, you show myself yours and if you show me yours, then you are due.”
7. The Nina-Hagen thing
In a discussion about emancipation in the ORF talk show “Club 2”, Nina Hagen showed in 1979, where the “Point of Woman Fick” (the clitoris) is located and demonstrated how woman can effectively masturbate. Moderator Dieter Seefranz therefore had to withdraw later as the host of the show.
8. Nature finds its way
Also animals do not necessarily need each other to satisfy sexual desires-and certainly not the guy of the cover of the NOFX plate Heavy Petting Zoo: bulls use their front legs, deer rubbing on trees, dolphins seals over the seabed, orangutan’s dildos tinker, and the goat can take up, as well as the kangaroo, its penis and is with it and is 99.8 percent of the male earth population ahead.
9. Even robots cannot leave their fingers off
We have known this since the video about Björk’s “All is Full of Love”. But the androids already did it decades before: in his autobiography “I was a robot”, Wolfgang Flur (1972-1986 near Kraftwerk) describes how he distributed in 1965 to The Whos “My Generation”, “groaning from youthful sins lust (…) in my parents’ most valuable room with liberating blessing.
10. The sleep does not last what the masturbation promises
My Morning Jacket [sprich: „jackit!“ Ha!] Support this pennant wisdom with your song “Into the Woods”: “A Good Showerhead and My Right Hand / The Two Best Lovers That I ever had.”
