How do you weigh in on the Vance-couch conversation?

It’s a creative form of masturbation that may feel pretty darn good.

This, if he’d done it, would be perfectly okay.

I don’t see what’s wrong with banging couches.

Did your siblings abuse you growing up? Not your parents, specifically your siblings, or other children in the household you were raised with.

We need to stop shaming people for healthy activities they do in the privacy of their own homes.

Masturbation isn’t bad. It provides most of the benefits of sex, many of which actively improve human health, with zero risk of disease or pregnancy. It is an objectively good thing that most of us ought to do more often. Not for pleasure, though pleasure is also good, but for our health.

Should women be allowed in “combat roles” within the military?

Creativity is also good, especially as the story would cause no harm to the couch and didn’t involve any direct contact with it. There’s no ick factor here, just a young person having fun in a way that doesn’t harm or impose upon anyone else.

But what if he had? Why are we shaming him for this? Why would we shame anyone for this?

Vance didn’t, or that’s the story. And honestly, I believe it. He’s a bit too uptight for that sort of thing.
