I was wondering, with the orgasm competition, how do you count those? Is it all in one sitting? Over the course of the day. Basically we let them get up and pee and get a soda in between. Someone could go and masturbate for three hours and we would still count all of the orgasms... in the context of the event. Lots of people ask me, "How do you know people are really masturbating at home? Who's watching them?" I'm like, most people lie about not masturbating. We're going to trust people on this. If they lie and say they did something and then send $40 to a charity, the charity is going to accept that, so we're just going to take peoples' word on it. We have someone there who can count [the number for you] — I know from experience that you could lose track. If you want a counter, we'll assign a counter. That isn't something that most people have. Kind of like an Olympic sport in that way. The other thing that we'll do in a situation like that is, we'll have someone keeping time there with a stopwatch, because we really want to know — we're keeping this record.
Did you try to contact the Guinness people? They've totally roundly ignored us.

- The original DIY, observed
This explains a lot: May was National Masturbation Month, first held by the San Francisco-based sex shop Good Vibrations in 1995, and celebrated nationwide. (Some places even hold Masturbate-A-Thons to raise money for local HIV- and AIDS-prevention organizations.) Is that why everyone's been so giddy of late?

Back in May, staff writer Camille Dodero reported on the state of sex in Boston through interviews with straight, gay, lesbian, bisexual, and transgender people (“ Sex (Circa 2006). ”) Topics ranged from one-night stands to monogamous relationships, from the bro job to the growing fluidity of sexual orientation.
