How do you weigh in on the Vance-couch conversation?

Vance didn’t, or that’s the story. And honestly, I believe it. He’s a bit too uptight for that sort of thing.
It’s a creative form of masturbation that may feel pretty darn good.
Masturbation isn’t bad. It provides most of the benefits of sex, many of which actively improve human health, with zero risk of disease or pregnancy. It is an objectively good thing that most of us ought to do more often. Not for pleasure, though pleasure is also good, but for our health.
This, if he’d done it, would be perfectly okay.
I don’t see what’s wrong with banging couches.
Creativity is also good, especially as the story would cause no harm to the couch and didn’t involve any direct contact with it. There’s no ick factor here, just a young person having fun in a way that doesn’t harm or impose upon anyone else.

But what if he had? Why are we shaming him for this? Why would we shame anyone for this?

We need to stop shaming people for healthy activities they do in the privacy of their own homes.
