That Thing No One Likes To Talk About

Well well well week four was certainly a education. Masturbation. Ahh dosen't that feel better to say it without cringing and falling into that black hole next to you. I have to say though, something i learned was the amount of names for the subject in question. So - many - names. It was an interesting subject thuogh.
I never would have thought I’d be writing this at uni but life is full of surprises.
What I found interesting about the whole thing was how scared we are to talk about it. (Well actually people seemed quite at home discussing their dirty habits didn’t they?) It is a huge taboo in the media though. I think it was almost unheard of in the public eye a few years ago, and now it’s heard quite often in comedy shows and things like that. Although that is still reducing it to ridicule – is it okay because we are laughing about it and not talking it serious? Maybe. However behind closed doors it is an unspoken common occurrence so everybody is aware of it at least. It’s something people don’t like to talk about but are happy to do alone. Why do people get embarrassed though? I mean I was laughing in the lecture, but when we had to fill in that paper it was embarrassing wasn’t it? It seems to just be human nature. Maybe because it’s seen as ‘sad’ to be at home alone and giving yourself one? I coulnd't really explain it.
Men do seem more prone to it though, and they seem to find it easier to talk about. Funny that.
Has anyone watched Ricky Gervais 'Politics'? When he says his friend was doing this and when he opened his eyes he saw his mum had walked in and left him tea and biscuits??? Oh the Shame.

Being Bad Week Three

After watching Family Guy my views on shoplifting are - It is no different to any other theft. Stealing is stealing no matter what it is. you are still taking something that is not yours and that is bad no matter how big or small it is.
I think people who can afford things shoplift because it gives them a rush. Doing something that you are not supposed to do and not getting caught gives some people excitment and just that feeling of grabbing that book, or whatever, and managing to get out of the shop unnoticed is a feeling of high. I think they like the fact they are 'getting one over' on someone.

After watching breakfast at Tiffinays - I do not think it is prostitution to take money from someone who is expecting sex. It's more conning than anything else. She has conned that man into thinking he will have sex with her and he is a fool for falling for it. She is more a con artist than a prostitute.
On the subject of if it is more or less socially respectable i think it is less because she is taking advanatge of someone and that is always frowned upon.
Resonable charge - I say if you can get away with it take as much as you can get. If she has to endure this guy leering at her she might as well get handsomely paid.

After watching Peep Show - Stalking - A interest in someone turns into stalking when that person starts to obsess over someone in a unhealthy manner. This is following them, being always where they are, getting paranoid, asking univted questions and bothering them. These people can only think about the other person and it forces them to have this want to always be near them hence the stalking. (p.s if this sounds familiar change your lifestlye.)
