Historically, masturbation has gotten a pretty bad rap. It's been said that jerking-off can cause blindness, will make you impotent or infertile, can lead to mental illness, or, arguably the worst of them all, will result in you burning in eternal hellfire. However, that hasn't seemed to deter most of us. Personally, I side with Louis C.K. when it comes to ideas about jerking-off: "It's easy, fun, and no one gets hurt." Below are 12 of the best ever quotes about masturbation.
