- National_Masturbation_Day abstract "International Masturbation Month (IMM) is an annual event celebrated in the month of May to protect the right to masturbate. The first National Masturbation Day/Month (now International Masturbation Month) was first observed in 1995, after sex-positive retailer, Good Vibrations, declared the month in honor of Surgeon General Joycelyn Elders who was fired by President Bill Clinton for her statements supporting masturbation for sexual health. The IMM is organized to protest against social stigma against masturbation. Sexologist Carol Queen, an organizer of IMM, argued, although 90% of men and 65% of women in North America masturbate regularly, masturbation is viewed negatively in contemporary culture and deliberately excluded from the formal education system. According to Queen, "We gave our heads a shake and said it's about time we fought back. That's when we founded National Masturbation Day."The IMM in the United States was being organized from its beginning primarily by the San Francisco-based sex toy retail chain Good Vibrations and its supporters. The 1999 National Masturbation Month celebrations were organized by Good Vibrations with its general manager describing masturbation as a "birthright". In a press conference held during the 1999 IMM celebrations, Queen declared masturbation and "right to orgasms" to be "inalienable constitutional right".The sixth International Masturbation Month was observed in 2001 and its sponsors included major names in the sex industry, including Good Vibrations, Toronto-based co-operatively run sex toy retail store Come As You Are, and Babeland. John Karastamatis writing in the Toronto Star noted that the organizers of the 2001 National Masturbation Day were associated with sex store businesses. He also pointed out that the majority of the IMM organizers were women. According to Cory Silverberg, one of the founders of Come As You Are, "The message we want to spread is that masturbation promotes health and happiness- that's what National Masturbation Day and the masturbate-athon are all about." The organizers of National Masturbation Day stressed the health benefits of masturbation citing examples such as stress management, healthier pelvic muscles, secretion of endorphins, decrease in chances of prostatitis among men, decrease in candidiasis among women, cardiovascular exercise and safe sex.".
