Sssh.com, The Screaming O Celebrate National Masturbation Month

BOSTON, Mass.—Sssh.com, the erotica and sexuality site created by and for women, and adult pleasure product makers The Screaming O are observing National Masturbation Month with a giveaway of Screaming O Bullet Vibes for the first 250 lucky new Sssh.com members who sign up during the month of May.

The ‘holiday’ designation was created 18 years ago in reaction to the firing of U.S. Surgeon General Dr. M. Joycelyn Elders after she promoted masturbation to young people as an alternative to riskier sexual activity on World Aids Day in 1994. Since then, Masturbation May has inspired sexuality workshops, education in schools and a surge in toy purchases, especially for women.

"May is one of The Screaming O's favorite months of the year and our popular mini vibes make it fun, easy and exciting to celebrate self love every day," said The Screaming O representative Conde Aumann. "There's no better way to make this an extra-special holiday for Sssh.com fans than with a free Screaming O Bullet vibe with each May membership -- it's the ultimate gift that keeps on giving!"

Sssh.com Publisher Angie Rowntree agreed, saying, "After the smashing success we had in partnering with Screaming O for the Academy Awards Luxury Gift Bags, we are thrilled to join them once again for another groundbreaking sexy adventure with the Bullet giveaway. Since Sssh.com is a women's go-to source for erotic material, we wanted to send them something to give their fingers a rest."
