A court in SWEDEN has ruled that it is acceptable to masturbate in public as long as it is not directed at anyone.

The ruling came in a judgement following a case brought against a man seen touching himself on a beach.

Masturbation is the sexual stimulation of one's own genitals, usually to the point of orgasm. The stimulation can be performed using the hands, fingers, everyday objects, or dedicated sex toys.

BENEFITS OF MASTURBATION: It is held in many mental health circles that masturbation can relieve depression and lead to a higher sense of self-esteem. Masturbation can also be particularly useful in relationships where one partner wants more sex than the other – in which case masturbation provides a balancing effect and thus a more harmonious relationship.
males masturbating frequently had a lower probability to develop prostate cancer. Men who averaged five or more ejaculations weekly in their 20s had significantly
lower risk.

RISKS OF MASTURBATION: Those who insert objects as aid to masturbation risk
them becoming stuck. Men and women can fall prey to this problem. Also, it can lead to poor satisfaction for the opposite party in a sexual affair, as the party involved may find real sex not interesting. It can lead Marrital problems...

In continuation of the story, the 65-year-old man, who dropped his shorts close to the water at Drevviken beach, Stockholm, and started to masturbate, was initially charged with sexual assault.

But in a surprise ruling, the Södertörn District Court acquitted the man. While the judgement stated it 'may be proven that the man exposed himself and masturbated on this occasion', it subsequently added that no offence had been committed.

The 65-year-old man was initially accused of sexual assault after he pleasured himself on an inland beach at Drevviken, near Stockholm, Sweden.
However, this judgement is surprising given that such an act could be witnessed by children as well as adults.

On the contrary, in UK anyone who masturbates in public or exposes themself in any way faces an indecent exposure charge.
