Youthwatching ’09 is a Belgian conference about youth culture. Luckily, they realize that such a conference is a pure fake when they’re no youngsters around. Thus they’ve invited young lads and girls to the give a short presentation about their projects and dreams.
Turns out that some guys have really noble goals in mind. Toon and Bert hate the taboo on masturbating girls. To combat this general perception, they’ve started an online initiative called WeMasturbate. With pages on MySpace and Netlog plus stickers, t-shirts, and buttons in the off line world they gain attention for their cause:
Boys masturbate and can talk and show off about it. But when it comes to girls and masturbation, ieeeuw.
The guys believe in positive discrimination, so only girls are allowed to befriend them. So far, 14332 Netlog chicks have joined their cause. Netlog founder Lorenz Bogaert also gave a presentation during Youthwatching and he advised Toon and Bert to expand their business to Turkey, where in a recent research 42 percent of the youngsters acknowledged they had stripped in front of a webcam.
I felt pretty dull when I had to give my talk about problogging…
















hahahaha classic!
Thanks a lot EJ! Great preso on why blogging is so important; must have convinced a bunch of people.
Kudos indeed for the WeMasturbate guys. Amazing story.
Thanks for the post EJ, we love you and we’ll keep in touch!
I’m pretty sure there is a taboo on masturbating for guys too. Right? Can someone open a MySpace group titled “WeMasturbateToo” for guys only? Not that I want to join but a friend of mine…
Nothing new, Toon and Bert are doing this since early 2007 if I’m right. They even got on national television for this.
That is zo true Ernst-Jan we are planning to take over the UK and The Netherlands next^^.
We will try hyves cause everybody tells us that it should work. If you have any tips to make a hype on hyves tell us;)! But we will send you a mail with some questions!
