Possibly my favourite lecture on this module so far! I was wondering why it was included as part of bad behaviour as I, like others probably, do not consider it to be a bad thing. Thanks to the lecture I can see in its historical context why it was considered to be bad.
I think I would agree that it happens more than actual sex. Personally I do not see it as a poor substitute to it either (maybe I've just been unlucky!)
I was reminded of a story I had heard regarding Cornflakes, namely their inventor Dr Kellog. Cornflakes were inveted as a way to combat masturbation (see link). While not exactly a creation myth it is at least one example of how masturbation led to the creation of something!
