The Junta de Extremadura has launched an advertising campaign to promote masturbation workshops under the slogan ‘The pleasure is in your hands’.
The campaign teaches youngsters how to masturbate and also encourages them to explore self-eroticism, stroking, and using lubricants and erotic toys.
25 boys and girls aged between 15 and 17 will attend two workshops on November 20.
The General Director of IMEx, Extremadura Women’s Institute, María José Pulido, said ‘It’s quite normal. Every year we develop a project and this year we have decided to promote healthy habits in adolescents. The campaign wants to promote erotic self-knowledge from a feminist perspective’.
Many Spanish papers have noted that Extremadura is the region of the country with the highest unemployment, and that 14,000 € of public money is being spent on the campaign.
Update - November 13 :-
Right wing grouping, Manos Limpias, (clean hands) has announced it is presenting a denuncia against the Junta de Extremadura because of the campaign, accusing them of corruption of minors.
