I don't know if it's endemic to America or what, but people jerk off in libraries all the time -- it is a real problem.

Maybe because the homeless or impoverished get internet in libraries and nowhere else, but regardless of the cause, something should be done.

The last time I used a computer in a library, I reached down to grab the side of the chair to scoot it under the desk, and received a handful of ejaculate for my trouble. It was a nice library too.

One of my best friends works in a different, nicer library, and constantly complains about people jerking off in there. They catch them and kick them out, but it doesn't stop the problem any more than swatting mosquitoes stops that problem.

You may say mental illness because of your particular environment or upbringing, but I feel below a certain level of society it's the natural state of people-- if they're able to see a naked picture they pursue the pleasurable sensations it produces until that process completes itself. Altering the environment seems like a damn fine idea to me.



That story is crazy. How did you react to it? What did you do to him?


There was no one around to confront. All I had was a goopy hand and a dirty chair.

I looked at my hand as awareness set in, and then I stood up and walked to the bathroom. Then I told the librarian, and she gave me some paper towels to clean the chair. I couldn't think of how getting angry would benefit me so I didn't bother.
