A sponsored wank!

Although it's already happened, the web site for the UK's first masturbate-a-thon still makes for interesting reading. When I first found this web site I couldn't believe it! Is this really the best way to raise money for charity? As far as I can tell though, the web site is genuine. Apparently it was an event to raise money for Marie Stopes International, which provides sexual and reproductive health information and services across 38 countries, and is a UK registered charity.

It appears that people who took part were sponsored by the minute, given the following extract:

Once you are settled in we will assign a monitor to you. They will maintain your time sheet and determine minutes for your sponsors. If you would like to be considered for the "Most Orgasms" category please inform your monitor. Monitors are trained and will not be embarrassed by anything they witness in the rooms. Also - monitors are NOT voyeurs, so will not be watching you directly as you masturbate, but merely remaining at a discreet distance and recording the time you take for your sponsorship form.

According to the web site, the UK TV company Channel 4 was filming there, but it doesn't say when the program about the event will be (or was) on the air. So if anyone reading this took part, or knows anyone that took part, please leave a comment and say what happened. I would be interesting to know the gender and age profile of the participants, how many people there were, how much money was raised, and so on :-).
