Are we suddenly going to start cutting federal employee pay and letting them go home earlier each day, thanks to all of the efficiency earned from keeping men's greasy meat-sticks out of their hands while at work? If not, then the whole "WE'RE IN DEBT!" shtick is so stupid and pointless; it'll cost the same whether they're fapping or not.

This isn't about money. It's about the fact that you shouldn't be practicing your flute solo at your job. Do you? I didn't think so.

Except that's not what it's about, according to the bill's sponsor:

Rep. Walter Jones, a North Carolina Republican, is leading a crusade to stop federal employees from watching and downloading porn on government equipment while at work.

“We are over $19 trillion in debt, and taxpayers are paying for federal employees to waste time at work surfing porn,” Jones said in a press release. “This is a well-documented, government-wide problem. It’s time to put a stop to it.”

And just for the record, before I was self-employed, yes: I did beat my meat at work. Yet somehow, I managed to do all the work I would have done on the job anyway and the company didn't lose any actual money!

Did you seriously not have enough self control to just wait until you got home? Disgusting.

That is true that the sponsor may have been a crazy, but the point still stands that there are many good reasons that you shouldn't be watching porn at work.

Highly disturbing that this is treated like a bad thing with the way the subject is phrased (and by who)...

<full disclosure, I've spanked it at work and have had sex at work...and a lot of other sh**t I'm less proud of Wink>


On topic (sort of), as of last night, I can't post to Atlas from work.  I can read, but I can't do things.  This is unfortunate.  We've gained and lost another message board I frequent about a half dozen times over the years (and what spurned me to seek out another place to drop my wisdom, which is how I found the Atlas in the first place), so it will probably work again in time, but as of last night, no.  They currently let us use Facebook and YouTube so I can't imagine how posting here (and other places I post at have the same problem) could be worse than either of those.

A disturbing trend from the disgusting puritan anti-sex losers once more.

You can't watch porn at any other civilized workplace computer.  I'm not gonna act like this isn't a good idea to avoid being called whatever retarded nickname you assign to normal people next.

Seriously? Are we seriously discussing if it's OK for people to masturbate in a professional setting, in a space that they share with other people? Are we actually calling people who say no "prudes"?

I mean seriously, can't you even wait until the workday ends and do it at home. Or OK, if you really can't help yourself, just go to the bathroom? Are you a prude if you don't believe that immediately getting your orgasm takes precedence over literally anything else?

This is pure insanity.

I don't know how anyone in their right mind would watch porn during work given the risks, but I'm not a big fan of this law.  Why block people from pursuing pleasure?  I think the social pressure against doing so (except perhaps at odd early/late hours or during lunch break) would be great enough that this wouldn't be something you'd have to block.

For the record, I had my own office that automatically locked from the inside! Who could resist the temptation?

At any rate, I was on a kick from 18-22 of just seeing how many different places I could masturbate in for the sake of doing it and bragging about it. At work, while driving, in an airplane bathroom, etc etc etc. I sadly don't find it novel enough anymore to engage in such shenanigans. Cry

Sadly, this congressman didn't follow the same path and became an old man who's still obsessed with masturbation!

So what do you guys think about having a quickie with your bf/gf in the company bathroom or utility closet? Not a chronic thing, just a one time lust-filled moment of unbridled passion?

If he's that concerned about such low level issues he should be proposing bills to deal with water coolers, staplers and carpet tiles.

What a waste of everyone's bloody time.

You're not normal though. You're quite clearly a sex-hating puritan loser.

I bet if you asked the greater public, they'd tell you they simply don't care.
