May, colloquially known as Maysturbation, is a significant month for celebrating human sexuality, especially through International Masturbation Month.


Maysturbation is derived from "May" and "masturbation", referring to International Masturbation Month, which began in 1995 with National Masturbation Day on May 7, started by Good Vibrations in San Francisco to honor Joycelyn Elders, who was fired for suggesting masturbation be part of sex education [1]. The month promotes sexual health, self-pleasure, and stigma reduction, with a relaxed and celebratory tone, as seen in campaigns such as TENGA's #doitinmay since 2017 [6].

Key Events in May

International Masturbation Month (May 1–31): A month dedicated to promoting the benefits of masturbation, such as stress relief, improved sleep, and body confidence, according to Planned Parenthood [2]. It includes campaigns like Truemagicwand in 2023 for the 55th anniversary of the Magic Wand [7].

National Masturbation Day (May 7): The original day, started in 1995, focused on the right to masturbate and open dialogue, with events like Masturbate-a-thons to raise funds for sexual health [8].

MILF Support Day (May 11, 2025): Celebrated on the second Sunday in May, it coincides with Mother's Day, recognizing the sexuality of mature women. It is informal, with internet mentions of themed events in Philadelphia in 2024 [4]. Some sources mention May 10, but this appears to be a meme rather than a formal date [9].

National Outdoor Sex Day (May 8): A playful observance, possibly originating at Washington State University in the 1960s, with online mentions as a day for outdoor sexual activities, though not formally recognized.[5] Its popularity peaked in 2019, with 107 online mentions.[10]

For adult content creators, like user Onlyfansly, Maysturbation offers unique opportunities. They can create themed content, such as educational videos about self-pleasure, live streams, or challenges like vmtherapy.com's Maysturbation Challenge, which encourages personal exploration [12]. Collaborations are key, such as promotions with sex toy brands, aligned with events like the Lovense Orgy 2025 (May 24-25), offering a 55% discount and NSFW prizes, promoted in an X post on May 15, 2025 [13]. This allows engagement with audiences, sharing information about sexual health and helping to destigmatize masturbation.

Cultural and Social Implications

Maysturbation plays a role in destigmatizing masturbation, promoting a healthier attitude toward sexuality. Historically, May coincides with fertility rites such as May Day (May 1), with pagan origins in Beltane, reinforcing its focus on sexual pleasure [14]. For creators, this month is an opportunity to educate and advocate for sexual health, aligning with the blog's tone on sexuality and pornography, which explores the science and culture of sex without focusing on explicit content.

Historical and Ethical Context

Maysturbation’s focus on self-pleasure contrasts with more formal events such as World Sexual Health Day (September 4), which focus on rights and education. Maysturbation accepts pornographic aspects, such as the use of adult content at events like Lovense Orgy, but promotes ethics and self-care, with an emphasis on consent and privacy, as seen in Lovense’s terms [15]. This is crucial for creators, ensuring responsible practices.

Conclusion

Maysturbation, with events like International Masturbation Month, MILF Support Day, and National Outdoor Sex Day, is a vibrant month to celebrate sexuality. For adult content creators, it's an opportunity to connect, educate, and engage in conversations about sexual health. Let's remember to celebrate ethically and responsibly, respecting everyone involved.
