Almost everyone does it, no one talks about it. In a world that increasingly demands guidance, the concept of "guided masturbation" is now emerging. From natural body discovery to voluntary renunciation - masturbation is more complex than it seems at first glance.

In our world of disorientation, there are guided walks, guided dreaming and now also guided masturbation. That's funny, I think to myself. After all, even unborn babies in the womb find their pleasure-giving body center with somnambulistic certainty. Even if it's often said later: "Hands off!", it's actually only in exceptional cases that we lack the ability to give ourselves pleasure.
