This is going to be a scene in, like, American Pie 7, isn't it?

this is quite possibly the worst idea for a thread i've ever seen, which is really fucking saying something.

J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Monday, 5 December 2005 11:23 (eighteen years ago) link

If the baby HAD to be in the same room, you could have at least turned them around to look the other way. Euw!

Panther Pink (Pinkpanther), Monday, 5 December 2005 11:24 (eighteen years ago) link

Come on people, if the baby's presence doesn't bother the poster, beneath the initial "Ewww!" reaction (brought up by cultural conditioning), what's wrong with this? No one gets harmed in any way, someone gets a bit happier.

Strongly disagree with you there Tuomas. it's not cultural conditioning, it's just pretty gross IMO.

Panther Pink (Pinkpanther), Monday, 5 December 2005 11:48 (eighteen years ago) link

cultural conditioning has its points.

Theorry Henry (Enrique), Monday, 5 December 2005 11:49 (eighteen years ago) link

it's only cultural conditioning that says you shouldn't masturbate over a baby.

Theorry Henry (Enrique), Monday, 5 December 2005 11:50 (eighteen years ago) link

Pink, of course it's cultural conditioning, what else could it be? In the Middle Age couples had sex with their children in the same bed, do you think they cared about masturbating before a baby?

Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 5 December 2005 11:50 (eighteen years ago) link

the plague was the greatest thing that could have happened to the middle ages.

how are your children doing, ken?

Theorry Henry (Enrique), Monday, 5 December 2005 12:11 (eighteen years ago) link

They are still at the planning stage. The plans are still pretty basic, but does include 'not to be subjected to witnessing masturbation while an infant' as one of the several important points.

J.D. (Justyn Dillingham), Monday, 5 December 2005 12:30 (eighteen years ago) link

Samuel Delany's "Heavenly Breakfast", a memoir about a year or so where he lived in a commune, points out the "dirty untold secret" that apparently baby scent is a crazy aphrodisiac. There is a description of a couple sleeping with the baby in their bed, and getting all hot and bothered, and having sex. And then (as I recall) feeling a bit weird about it, and realizing something about the baby was making them all horny, and deciding it was probably a natural enough reaction and not worrying about.

That said, while I doubt any harm whatsoever is going to come to a baby who watches someone masturbate, it's still easy enough to maintain a little privacy and put the baby (or yourself) elsewhere. The baby shouldn't have to watch you jerk off, you know? So, you know, why not? Especially if it isn't your baby.

Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 5 December 2005 12:53 (eighteen years ago) link

(I'm not saying Delany's theory is right or wrong, mind you. I have no idea. I am not a babyologist.)

Casuistry (Chris P), Monday, 5 December 2005 12:54 (eighteen years ago) link

Especially if it isn't your baby.

I hadn't even thought of that...

If you're babysitting, just call the parents and ask them if it's okay.

"Hi, Uncle Steve, I just wandered if it was... OK to... wank next to your baby?"

Sick Mouthy (Nick Southall), Monday, 5 December 2005 13:07 (eighteen years ago) link

Splashing around in that hot water with my woman, I began to get ideas, as they say. After a while I placed my body in such a position in the water that the baby could not see my hard-on.
I did this by going deeper and deeper in the water, like a dinosaur, and letting the green slime and dead fish cover me over.

Øystein (Øystein), Monday, 5 December 2005 13:16 (eighteen years ago) link

"Hi, Uncle Steve, I just wandered if it was... OK to... wank next to your baby?" - this is making me roffle like a madman.

Rumpie (lil drummer girl parumpumpumpu), Monday, 5 December 2005 13:20 (eighteen years ago) link

You could play Freak On A Leash. Errr, that's a different thread, I guess. Seriously, ew, masturbating in the same room as your child?!? Of course the kid's not going to know what you're doing, but don't/would you feel uncomfortable wanking in his/her presence?

Nathalie (stevie nixed), Monday, 5 December 2005 13:27 (eighteen years ago) link

yeah, there's actually a lot of research on infant learning that suggests they're considerably more conscious than we usually think of them as being. Assuming this already happened, 1) you seriously need to learn to reign in your impulses and 2) it probably won't do any long term damage unless it becomes a habit. In the eyes of the law, of course, it'd count as child molestation and get you ten years, and not without reason.

Banana Nutrament (ghostface), Monday, 5 December 2005 13:34 (eighteen years ago) link

Children are most receptive to learning and absorbing new things between the ages of 0-5, yeah? WANK AWAY.

Actually I'm PANTING. Shit, what about masturbating when you're PREGNANT? You keep on running away from the baby while trying to get yer rocks off.

Nathalie (stevie nixed), Monday, 5 December 2005 14:14 (eighteen years ago) link

First of all, even if the baby was conscious of what's happening and if was close enough to actually see what the person is doing (both big ifs), it would have no idea of what masturbation is, so all it would see is someone moving his/her hand. You all seem to be saying that it feels weird for someone to wank with a baby in his/her presence, which is probably true, but that's only because of the culture and time-dependent ideas that, a) masturbation is wrong, or at least kinda yucky, and b) children and sexuality should be in no contact with each other, even if the child in question would be in no way affected by what's happening.

Is it wrong for a couple to have sex while their baby is sleeping in the same room, knowing that the baby might wake up? Or if the baby isn't sleeping at all? Or for a couple to have sex in their bedroom, with their children sleeping in adjoining room, even though they might wake up and hear the noises? How are these things different from the original poster's question?

Theorry Henry (Enrique), Monday, 5 December 2005 14:32 (eighteen years ago) link

When I was a kid I did hear my parents have sex on several occasions, and once I walked into their bedroom while they were doing it, but I don't think it ruined my life in any way. And I was old enough to be conscious of what they were doing, unlike a less than a year old baby.

Tuomas (Tuomas), Monday, 5 December 2005 14:32 (eighteen years ago) link

with their genitals growing bigger and then stuff squirting out of it.

anyway i think the worst part is you knowing the baby being there and still doing it. i mean, that's like sick. it's almost as bad as shagging in a room where there's a huge photo of your parents somewhere in it.

FAMILY groups are demanding The Janoskians apologise for the baby skit Little Britain star Matt Lucas slammed as ''repulsive'' and ''witless''.

In the sketch, uploaded to YouTube, members of the Glenroy boy band are seen simulating lewd acts in bus shelters, shopping centres and under escalators, with one member telling a mother "your baby's sexy''.

Leza Sullivan, of child protection group Bravehearts said: ''Simulating sexual acts in front of a child, and exposing a child to that, can be classed as sexual assault.

''Then, to make fun of it, and trivialise it, is appalling. But they took it one step too far when they started engaging actively with children.''

Bravehearts and the Australian Family Association said The Janoskians record label, Sony Music, should force their act to take the video down.

''The Sony brand should not be associated with this behaviour,'' Ms Sullivan said.

Anti-abuse lobby group, Safe Australia Movement, said the clip contains ''paedophilic references aimed at a six-week-old baby and her mother''.

''To harass a mother in such a way is abusive. Anyone that accepts this behavior is accepting abuse,'' said spokesman William Fagan.

But the group defended the video in a series of tweets on Wednesday night from their official Twitter account.

The five-member group said it didn't regret filming the video.

"OK guys so the hole (sic) purpose of public wanking is to see unseen reactions,'' the Janoskians said.

"It's never been done before and it's interesting to see reactions.

"For the people who think we took it to (sic) far have really closed minds about the subject.

"It was acting and if you couldn't tell we weren't really wanking. Not only the baby would never understand what's going on.

"The hole (sic) purpose was to see the mother's reaction ... and it was good. Definitely our favourite video.''

But Terri Kelleher, of the Australian Family Association, said the clip was ''highly offensive''.

''They should have been arrested,'' Ms Kelleher said.

Ms Kelleher added to calls for Sony to take action against the boy band and also urged parents to discourage their children from supporting The Janoskians, who are performing shows for touring giant, Live Nation, later this month.

Little Britain's Lucas took to Twitter on Wednesday night to slam the video.

''The group member claims that the baby sexually excites him and proceeds to stand by the pram while pretending to masturbate, to the obvious and not unreasonable distress of the baby's mother and grandmother,'' Lucas said.

''Am I too old to get it? Maybe I am. If so, I'm glad. It's repulsive.

''It's probably already criminal. It's certainly utterly witless.''

Sony Music did not respond to calls for comment before deadline.

Just as a side light to show how the world changes, in most of the world and for most of history, poor families (meaning the vast majority) have lived in houses with one or perhaps two rooms, where everyone ate, slept and lived. That included minors along with adults. In northern Europe it often it included a few farm animals, too. Much sexual intercourse happened in those houses in spite of minors being present.

A new take, found in Elizabeth Von Arnim's The Caravaners

"My hearers will agree with me that such raptures are well enough in a young girl in a white gown, with blue eyes and the washed out virginal appearence one does not dislike at eighteen before Love the Artist has pounced on it and painted it pink, and they will also I think agree that the older and married women must take care to be at all times quiet. Ejaculations of a poetic or ecstatic nature should not, as a rule, pass their lips. They may ejaculate perhaps over a young baby (if it is their own) but that is the one exception; and there is a good reason for this one, the posession of a young baby implying as a general rule a corresponding youth in its mother. I do not think however that it is nice when a woman ejaculates over, say, her tenth young baby."
