Thanks for playing, Thames. What is that "commoner English term?"

I think one of the problems with masturbation is the word itself. Most of us are long conditioned to think of that as a bad, even dirty word. And it just doesn't sound aesthetically appealing. I mentioned to Poet about the best-seller that uses "selfloving." That would sell much better to Mom and Pop, don't you think? But even so ... no way it's likely to fly very well.

"I mentally substituted the commoner English term"

I really like the commoner English term, and there are people that I cannot describe with any single word other than "wanker". You must admit, though, that it frequently is used to describe a number of common syndromes not directly involved with physical masturbation....
