o New Survey!!
Due to popular demand (and because we haven't done one in a couple of years), we're happy to announce JackinWorld Survey 2009!! It will be open from now until 11/22/09, after which we'll be analyzing the data and publishing the results. Remember, be honest with your responses. Fictional responses will simply screw things up for everyone else.
o Latest QotW Answers Revealed
We just published 216 responses to last week's Question of the Week, Do you find yourself sometimes holding your breath while masturbating, and if so, why?. Many folks hold their breath a least some of the time, either because they're trying to be as quiet as possible or because they get a different overall sensation from the experience. While there's no proving that there's anything wrong with the practice, our official JackinWorld position is that it's probably best to avoid doing it, if only because we're designed to breathe.
o Searching for vBulletin Experts!
Getting forums going has been part of the plan for the last year, but we're going to need a bit of help in setting them up at first and moderating them for the rest of eternity. Are you over 18 years old, responsible, have good judgment, of clean character, can pass a background check? Tell us about why you should be on the team. Contact us.
o 100 Biographies Now Available!
We're just over a third of the way in updating our collection of Biographies! In a week or two we should have the remaining 200 all ready to go for you. As always, we invite you to send us your own stories about how you learned or developed your masturbatory habits by contacting us.
o H1N1 Flu Tips
It's cold and flu season and everyone is getting worked up over H1N1 (formerly known as "swine flu"), vaccines, prevention, etc. A couple of words of advice from our medical staff at JackinWorld: wash your hands frequently, and don't touch your eyes, nose or mouth unless you've just washed them and haven't touched anything else in the mean time. If you have a cold or flu, avoid contact with others. Keep your used tissues (the ones from your nose and mouth, not from jackin') away from others, and if you have to cough or sneeze, do it into your elbow or armpit. To top it off, just stock up on a few weeks of food and lube, stay home to avoid contact with the general public, and masturbate while reviewing our collection of techniques.
o Share Your Story!
Our Biographies section is very popular with many readers. Many are interested in how others discovered masturbation and how it is a part of our normal healthy sexual lives. We're always looking to add more biographies, so if you feel you'd like to share yours, please contact us for more information on our publishing standards. And no, we haven't forgotten about the older biographies. We'll be putting those up eventually.
o Twitter and Facebook!
Do you want to be the first to know about updates to JackinWorld and other fun stuff? Friend us on Facebook and Twitter! JW on Facebook and JW on twitter.com
o A Note for Parents
If you're a parent, please talk with your children about safe sex options. Surveys have shown that kids are becoming sexually active younger and younger, both independently and with partners. Sharing age-appropriate information with them is a great investment you can make in their lives, and works a lot better than keeping your eyes closed and hoping for the best.
We continue to collect ideas for new Questions of the Week, so please send us a question or few that you would like us to ask the JackinWorld community.
As always, we welcome your suggestions and comments!
