Police on standby for UK's first 'masturbate-a-thon'

Police on standby for UK's first 'masturbate-a-thon'

Publisher: Jon Land
Published: 03/08/2006 - 14:29:23 PM

The police have offered to lend their services to Britain's first "masturbate-a-thon" if demonstrators cause any trouble, organisers said today.

Saturday's controversial event, which is also the first of its kind in Europe and has been exported from the US, is being filmed by Channel 4 as part of a series of shows.

The "masturbate-a-thon" will see individuals invited to pleasure themselves at a converted photographic studio in Clerkenwell in central London, while raising money for charity.

But the event, which is taking place with the involvement of sexual health agency Marie Stopes International, could attract protesters.

Marie Stopes spokesman Tony Kerridge said: "The police have offered their presence if we need it.

"We don't know yet whether there will be any protest but we have heard that there might be by MediaMarch (the evangelical group).

"The police will be there if we find that protesters are impeding access to the building, if there's an intimidating element or threat of assault or obstruction of the highway. Police will move them on."

Those involved are being asked to raise sponsorship for Marie Stopes and HIV charity the Terrence Higgins Trust.

Mr Kerridge added: "You can call it a stunt if you like but it's purpose is to get the discourse going.

"We've all seen the consequences of everyday penetrative unprotected sex in the form of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections such as HIV Aids, so for us masturbation is a really important subject.

"It is a subject we can't talk openly about. There's some element of shame about it. We've got to address that."

He added: "We've been engaging in a discourse with Islington Council and we're not contravening any licence arrangements.

"I think they would rather it was taking place in another borough but it's not.

"Their attitude is 'this is happening, we can't stop it even if we wanted to and we're going to keep well away from it'."

Organisers say that around 70 people - some from Europe - have pledged to turn up at the venue, which has a capacity of around 150.

Those wanting to take part will have the option of wearing clothes that "they feel hot or erotic in" and will be able to go into private booths, and male-only or female-only areas, should they wish.

Individuals who are to embarrassed to get sponsorship can "self-donate".

Around five people are aiming to break the masturbation record (eight-and-a-half hours for a man and six hours 20 minutes for a woman).

Dr Carol Queen and Dr Robert Lawrence, the US sexologists who are staging the "masturbate-a-thon", claimed it was "just like a walkathon or a bikeathon".

Dr Lawrence added: "I know that on this particular night we prevent disease for this group of people and that it works. Those people are going to engage in safer sex behaviour.

"The abstinence programme in the US, for the most part, does not work."

He added: "The world is full of anger with all the things going on right now. Can we bring a sense of love from this one night?"

Dr Queen said: "We don't expect a flood of people through the door who have always been ashamed of their masturbation but we do expect to get some further discourse to trickle out, even to those people."

Wow. I bet they're using some new space-age lube to attain that kind of record.
