Here's the problem when you start talking about sex and DD: The people mentioned above totally freak out.
Don't get me wrong, there are plenty of people who are very matter-of-fact about the topic. Plenty of people who recognize that pretty much everybody who has genitals wants to take them out for a spin every now and again.
By the way, did you know that we have evidence of fetuses masturbating? Bottom line, folks, you're playing with your junk before you're even born.
