Indian-American doctor arrested in US for masturbating on flight in front of young girl

<p>The origins of masturbation—historically believed to be pathological or a by-product of sexual arousal—has been traced back to ancient primates, around 40 million years before the first humans walked the Earth.</p>

<p>The scientists found this trait primarily in males and have argued that the apes engaged in self-pleasure tactics to improve their reproductive capacity, and, in turn, avoid contracting sexually transmitted diseases.</p>

<p>The findings were published in Proceedings of The Royal Society B journal after collating information from nearly 400 sources, including 246 published academic papers, 150 questionnaires and personal communications from primatologists and zookeepers.</p>

<p>The authors tracked the distribution of autosexual behaviour across primates&nbsp;to understand when and why it evolved in both females and males.</p>

<p>“Our findings help shed light on a very common, but little understood, sexual behaviour and represent a significant advance in our understanding of the functions of masturbation,” Dr Matilda Brindle, the lead author of the study, said in a statement.</p>

<p>There is, however, a scientific reason as to why primates regularly engaged in masturbation.</p>

<p>Based on their hypothesis, the scientists argued that male masturbation boosted the chances of impregnating a mate, and helped males shed old sperm, leaving them with fresher, more competitive sperm for sex.</p>

<h2><strong>Panacea against sexually transmitted diseases</strong></h2>

<p>However, that was not the only driver. The researchers claimed that male masturbation in primates rose in line with levels of sexually transmitted infections.</p>

<p>One possible explanation provided by the scientists is that masturbation after sex helps flush the genital tract, reducing the risk of an infection taking hold.</p>

<p>Though the study extensively delves into the functions of male libido, their research is largely silent on female masturbation.</p>

<p>That’s because biological studies from the past tended to ignore females, so the team had far less information and data for reference.</p>

<p>“More data on female sexual behaviour is needed to better understand the evolutionary role of masturbation,” she said.</p>

<p>Explaining why she decided to focus her research on this topic, Brindle said she found it “absolutely baffling that nobody has researched such a common behaviour across the animal kingdom".</p>

<p>“For people who think masturbation is wrong, or unnatural in some way, this is perfectly natural behaviour. It’s part of our healthy repertoire of sexual behaviours,” she added.</p>

'Give yourself a hand': Queensland Health aims to break taboos around masturbation

<p>So much has been debated and discussed about Swara Bhasker's controversial masturbation scene in 'Veere Di Wedding'. The actress has been relentlessly for defending the scene in the film. In fact, CBFC board member Vani Tripathi has lashed out at the makers of the film stating that the film is perverse in showing such a scene.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
While many have raised objection over the said scene, there are others like filmmaker Karana Johar who have come out in support of Swara and the scene itself. In an interview to a leading channel, Johar stated that he was glad that people were at least talking about masturbation openly thanks to the film.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"I think a conversation is always great. The much talked about masturbation scene in VDW has opened up a forum of conversation. There are all kinds, of course, like trolls, bad, ridiculous views, and some completely regressive perspectives but the fact is that suddenly we are talking about masturbation and let's say that that's a great thing. So for people out there who feel the concept only is blasphemous now are suddenly talking about it through a mainstream film. More power to those girls who accepted these roles and more power to the filmmaker who made this film. We are talking about this in an open forum suddenly," said the director.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
"There was a lot of criticism we got for 'Dostana' because of the stereotypical nature of certain representations and I do believe that a lot of criticism was justified. There was a certain kind of representation that was typical. But the fact is that it started a conversation, the issue became dining table conversation in parts of the country that are unaware of the concept of homosexuality. It was a conversation starter, "the director further added.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Swara has, of course, defended the scene and has even given a fitting reply to her trolls.&nbsp;<br />
<br />
Veere Di Wedding featuring Kareena Kapoor, Sonam Kapoor, Shikha Talsania, Sumeet Vyas and Swara Bhasker released on June 1st to packed halls across the country. It had the third highest opening of 2018 and has earned Rs 73.68 crores already at the box office.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Coming to her daughter’s defence, Ira Bhasker in a conversation with a portal spoke about the sexual connotations in the film. She said, "Let me begin by saying that sexuality per se in Indian cinema is not a subject that has been directly expressed. At the same time, historically, our cinema is unique in the sense that it has developed, over the years, a very complex and refined idiom on eroticism. And that idiom is the song.”<br />
&nbsp;<br />
She further added, "A lot of things that can’t be addressed directly can be addressed through the song. Be it the Hindi film song, or the Bengali film song. Malayalam or Tamil. You don’t find this anywhere else—as a fundamental and defining feature of the form itself. A lot of the articulation was done through song. Emotional articulation. Articulation of what is tabooed. Sexuality and eroticism."<br />
&nbsp;<br />
Stating more examples, Ira who teaches at a government university said, "Just think of Mughal-e-Azam: in that song Jogan Ban Chali, that word <em>jogan</em> actually is Meera—the one who has renounced the world for her lover. So this completes dedication to the object of your passion. What is that but female desire?"<br />
&nbsp;<br />
"These films didn’t have direct representation of sexual act or the act of lovemaking. Mahesh Bhatt has said that the most erotic sequence in Indian cinema is that of Dilip Kumar stroking Madhubala’s face in close up in Mughal-e-Azam," said Ira.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Swara later took to her Twitter profile to share her mother’s piece of advice and wrote: “Not grandmother, now the mother weighs in on the Great Masturbation Debate.. ?????? #veerediwedding #saga #MummySpeaks”</p>

<p>Swara was recently in the middle of another controversy when she called Pakistan a failed state as the neighbouring country chose to ban the release of her film Veere Di Wedding. A Pakistani actress, Urwa Hocane&nbsp;slammed Swara for her statement and in reply called her a “<a href="http://www.wionews.com/features/swara-bhasker-told-off-by-pakistan-actress-for-calling-the-country-a-failing-state--141923">failing human being</a>”.<a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/after-she-is-trolled-swara-bhasker-quips-indo-pak-peace-on-the-horizon-141980"><em> Also read:&nbsp;After she is trolled, Swara </em></a><a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/after-she-is-trolled-swara-bhasker-quips-indo-pak-peace-on-the-horizon-141980"><em>Bhasker</em></a><a href="http://www.wionews.com/india-news/after-she-is-trolled-swara-bhasker-quips-indo-pak-peace-on-the-horizon-141980"><em> quips Indo-Pak peace 'on the horizon'</em></a></p>
