First of all, indulge me long enough to let me set the mood with a song, OK?
Drive By (Glen Phillips)
I was the driver for the drive-by of the neighbor's dog
Dad had always hated him and he said "Come on son,
"Get into the Vega now and I'll go get my shotgun"
It was a military holiday and kids were everywhere
I hid behind the steering wheel and tried to disappear
I tried to speak but couldn't, Dad was whistling and drinking beer
And I prayed "Dear God, if You save this dog
"I will never get high, I will never jack off
"I will do all the things that I should but have not
"I'll be a good boy from now on"
We turned around the corner soon and saw the neighbor's yard
Dad lit up a cigarette and rolled his window down
And grinning like an idiot he stuck his head and body out
And I prayed "Dear God, if You save this dog
"I will never get high, I will never jack off
"I will be all the things that I should but have not
"I'll be a good boy from now on"
Well he popped in a shell and took aim with the gun
Then a flash and a bang and the dog it was gone. . .
Jumped up and he ran away
Dad had shot right through his chain
Dad said "Take me to the Dairy Freeze, I want to have a shake"
We sipped them on the benches there and stared out on the lake
And Dad has never said another word about that day
And I hope you're not disappointed, God
'Cause I still get high and I still jack off
And you knew I was lying but you still saved that dog
You're such a good God
Such a good, good Godâ¦
And I'll be a good boy from now on
Pretty evocative of that period of life, huh? Beyond the fun god/dog wordplay at the end, it conjures (for me, anyway) that feeling of still being under the influence of our parents and other authorities yet on the edge of something new.
Now that weâve activated prior knowledge , letâs move on to the question at hand: Were you taught to feel guilty about masturbation?
Because of parents, teachers, friends, church, whomeverâdid you carry a burden of guilt over it? And, since we all did it anyway, how did you finally justify it for yourself and move past that guilt (particularly if it was a religious issue for you)?
(Oh, and if youâre going to tell me you didnât/donât masturbate, how do you rationalize choosing to lie like that? B))
