Beat Off the Pandemic!

According to a squib in Fortean Times, (Yes, they finally sent an issue), some doctors are suggesting people in self-isolation try to stave off Covid-19 through masturbation. They point out masturbating is known to boost the immune system and increases white blood cell count, as well as relieving stress and encouraging restful sleep.

Well, if nothing else, we know Giraffe will be all right...

Hmm, is there a peer-reviewed study supporting this, or is it just conjecture? At first glance, it looks like bleach and hydroxychloroquine.

Even if it doesn't work, masturbation won't kill you like those will.

Chafing and/or bruising are early warning signs of possible overdose.

No better place for jackin' it than San Diego! Come, take a load off.

Crisco has a lower coefficient of friction and better film strength than any other household slippery stuff.

Every time you kill a kitten, Jesus's chances against Covid get a little better.
