o Donation Appeal from Jack Hoffman
This site has cost me about $8,000 this year, excluding the several hours each week spent maintaining the site and corresponding with people. Frankly, that's too much for me to bear alone. Since December 31, around 50 very kind and helpful people have donated around $1400. Also since December 31, there been 410,000 unique visitors to JW. That means 409,950 people DIDN'T donate. Would you be so kind to help us keep the site safe and with no advertising? Please go to Donate and consider sending in a donation of $5, $10, $20, $50, $100, $250, or whatever you can reasonably afford. If you would like, we can either keep your donation anonymous or acknowledge your donation on our Donate page.
o Latest QotW Answers Revealed
We just published 214 responses to last week's Question of the Week, Have you ever tried to make your penis bigger? If so, how and why?. While many have answered that they are satisfied with the size of their penis, all too many have tried to do something about enlarging it. Guys, there's no such thing as true penis enlargement. Pills don't work. "Jelqing" doesn't work. Pumps don't work. The penis isn't a muscle, "exercising it" won't work. Think about it. The penis is a neat assortment of blood vessels, chambers, nerves, mucous membranes and connective tissues. If pills did something, they would be regulated and available only by prescription. Pumps and jelqing are principally similar, they rely on the concept of tissue expansion. The amount of tension and time (medical tissue expansion is done for 20+ hours a day) required is not something you would be able to safely do yourself, and the potential for tissue, nerve and vascular damage are simply too great. Your best option is to accept yourself for how you are down there. The person you'll be sharing it with will love it just as much as they'll love you, and folks doing some "comparing" in the showers might as well be comparing the sizes of every other body part as well. None of it makes any difference. See JELQING: URBAN MYTH OR PRACTICAL PENIS-ENLARGEMENT SOLUTION? for more on our position regarding jelqing.
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 our volunteer team. Contact us.
o More Biographies Now Available!
We have completely migrated our collection of Biographies! There are hundreds of personal autobiographies written about their relationship with their bodies and masturbation. 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.
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!
