My opinion is that our society and the people who live in it will be much more informed and healthy as a result. News You Can Use, which Bill says has about 600 subscribers, consists of short accounts of various masturbation anecdotes that remind one of nothing so much as Penthouse Forum letters updated for the '90s, with plenty of goodies for women and gay masturbators included to ensure multi-masturbational correctness. It's affiliated with Fun Talk - a private mailing list for discussing masturbation issues. Online newsletters, mailing lists, chat rooms, Web pages accessible to all - it's not clear that this is what Dr. Elders had in mind. But the Net may be her best chance at ultimate vindication.
Masturbation is no longer a private affair.
