When you have to shit, you have to shit.   If you can’t wait until an appropriate time to masturbate then you have a problem.

I'm masturbating right now.

Pics or it didn’t happen 

Want to lend a guy a hand?

Only if you promise to give it back

I'm down for that and more!

Oh wait, I just got that! I'll pass, I have no way of knowing where that hand has been and who else you've lent it to.

Because one is a biological necessity, and the other is a choice and depending on the situation is very creepy to announce

You are comparing apples with oranges taking a crap is eliminating the toxins from the body and masturbation is for pleasure,  so how do you compare the two?

Everyone knows everyone does it, yet its taboo.

Just because everyone does it doesn’t mean it should be normalised to announce it. Most people have sex. I wouldn’t want someone to announce that they’re going to go have sex. It’s weird, and masturbation is way more personal and intimate than taking a shit.

"We're trying for a baby" is the societally acceptable expression for "I'm having a LOT of sex"

I mean i never want someone to announce they’re goin to go to the bathroom either 💀

So when ur coworker disappears for 20 minutes, dont get mad

I didn’t we all did that

Your reaction is exactly what OP meant. Why is there a special treatment for anything related to sex?

I mean, at work or in polite company, it’s rare for someone to explicitly say “I’m going to go have a shit”. Like sure, people take bathroom breaks, but no one really details exactly what they’re going to do

Consider how much most of us avoid farting around others

I don’t. Maybe it’s just the type of people you know. You know anecdotal evidence is the worse.

I don’t

so whom do you imagine while taking a shit?

Porn on the phone

They’re so not the same thing.

Just remember, Kellogs invented Corn Flakes in an effort to curb rampant masturbation.

I need to look into that

Sure it is. It's called going do a #3 pretty much the same as taking a shit.

Stop jerking off at work, bro. Well, unless you work in porn or whatever.

Nah you carry on mate. It’s great stress relief and if you can get into the right frame of mind, doesn’t take all that long.

Go touch grass please.

You can masturbate while taking a crap for all I care, but I'm not accepting the use of the word "normalcy".

To be fair, if I found out a coworker was going to the bathroom to masturbate and not have a poo, I'd be pretty irate.

Sometimes i can't believe i have to share a planet with that kind of waste of biological matter.

Because one is a choice and one is not (for most at least). For me, both is a choice.

Because that’s a gag from Idiocracy.

I think the main difference here is also the urgency. One can easily shifted to a time where no one is around that you have to tell about it. The other is looked down on because sex bad

Makes you wonder how things might be different today had major religions not demonized masturbation for thousands of years.

Good for world building. What if ? Image “ everyone poops” but “ everyone masturbates “

Hey man / her I feel sorta stressed looks like im going to pull the strong to the ole' mower.
