Why Masturbation is so Popular

I believe that "The Contest" was so successful because of its mass appeal. Adolescents liked it because it was funny and adults liked it because it was applied to them. Due to the taboo nature of masturbation in modern society it was a chance for people all around the U.S. to hear about this "horrible" act in a lighthearted manner. When it first aired, I believe that people were scared to be caught watching the episode especially younger americans. When it was aired a second time it was learned that they never actually said the word and this eased the enterance of it into homes across the nation.
