I did not say that it was weird - you misread - please do not put words in my mouth. In fact I said that it was very common.
What I do think is a tad weird is posting on a Little House on the Prairie forum wondering whether the characters did it.
I also think it a bit weird that you feel compelled to make a case for masturbation -

oh hell!
In other words, it's possible some or all did and possible some or all didn't.
But I still think the question is kind of weird to begin with
how can something be weird and common at the same time???????
I think the OP is trying to see into the past and wondering if they did it.
making a case for jacking off??? er, what? so if this guy is agreeing with you that it is 'very common' then why are you having a problem with him regarding making a case for it????
Oh God. Fortune

Goodness gracious I didn't say that masturbation was weird. I said that the QUESTION was kind of weird - if you look again at the sentence of mine that you quoted you'll see that the subject in the sentence is "question" not "masturbation". I find it an odd question. That has nothing to do with whether masturbation is weird or odd
I find it a little odd to sit and wonder about whether the Ingalls family masturbated. If you or the OP don't, that's fine. Sit and think about it all day if you want, I don't care
As for me and Authorized-User, you have it backwards - it was he who took what I said to the OP and misinterpreted it and made it seem like I was saying something I was not, which I addressed. Then he went out of his way to make a case that he believes masturbation is necessary for good health. And that's fine - he can think that. It was kind of odd to me that he went out of his way to do that. But whatever.
My only main comment was to the OP that back in times past, the mores about it were different than they are now and thus assuming that people in times past did it to the same level that people do now is probably a big stretch. It used to be called "self abuse" in my grandfather's generation and was definitely NOT considered "necessary for good health".
Personally I find this whole thread pointless and stupid and am sorry I posted on it and will probably not do so further. -

Perhaps. As stated, if I had it to do over again, I wouldn't have. Are you going to tell me that you have NEVER responded to a question that you thought was a little odd? Let us be honest here Mr. deem_bastille. You comment all the time on posts and I'll bet there's been at least one that you thought was a little odd If none other, you responded to my post that you thought was odd, so I guess by your logic your own action should seem bizarre to you too

What made me think about it was the speculation on Charles and Caroline's sex life. It made me wonder if they or their daughters ever had done it seeing as premarital sex was seen as immoral by most at that time (and by some today) and that it would be easier to hide masturbatory activity.

Well, we we know Mary certainly did. When I was a kid, the nuns told us that could happen if you did that too much. Come to think of it, I think Mr. Edwards had some hair on his palms. Hmmmmm!!!
I call woo woo on you, -
