own masturbation and/or the masturbation of  others  about
whom they are interested in and/or concerned.

masturbation  practices  affect their  relationships  with
other people who are nearest and dearest to them.

practices  affect  the quality of their  various  personal
relationships.

the  centuries  upon the qualities of the lives of  people
affected by those teachings in regards to masturbation and
human sexuality in general.

     7.  The   differences   between   purely    objective
consequences  of  masturbation  which are  independent  of
human  responses  to  masturbation---and  reflexive  human
responses  to masturbation which are not purely  objective
in nature.

     8.  How  differing  patterns  of  human   fantasizing
during masturbation relate to differing  patterns of human
relationships  with those who may (or may not)  have  been
the foci of those fantasies.

assumptions,   thoughts,  beliefs,  and theories regarding
human  masturbation and all of its objective and reflexive
outcomes.

     10.  The    various    possible    and     reasonable

pertaining to human masturbation and which are  considered
in   the   light  of the above and  other   considerations
not addressed above.

     11.  A    tracing   back   to   their   orgies    the
embarrassment,   shame  and  guilt which  has  often  been
associated with human masturbation.

     12.  The ways in which human vulnerability,  security
and   defensiveness  are  associated  with  human   sexual
activity and intimate relationships.

     13.  Human  tendencies to project our  own  reflexive
realities out upon others---as if our reflexive  realities
are objective and real apart from us.
