#4 Auto-Erotic Asphyxiophiliacs

The rationale behind auto-erotic asphyxiophiliacs needing to cease reproductive activities is simple: if someone’s life is so miserable that they feel the urge to suffocate themselves with a Ziploc bag while masturbating, they probably should not be around kids. Honestly, what the hell is wrong with these people?

It’s presumable that they’re at least slightly depressed if normal masturbation is not cutting it anymore.* Most likely, “slightly” does not cover it. I know that when I feel a little blue my mind definitely does not jump to you know if I choke myself while sexually climaxing it might really make me feel better. In fact, I’ve never been remotely close to the state of mind where that seems like a good idea. Since depression is at least partially about brain chemistry, it’s imperative these degenerates keep their damaged, depressed, “crying softly to themselves in the bathroom stall at the office” alleles away from our clean, non-fetish practicing, and generally happy genes.

And then there are the highly publicized cases of people dying (Michael Hutchence, David Carradine) from feeding the geese with their balls in a bind and shoelaces around their necks (insert your own “while in Bangkok” joke here). These more than demonstrate the risks involved with this behavior; leading one to believe that these people are either stupid or suicidal. Neither of which are traits that really need to be passed down the ole family tree. Additionally, children of suicides are more likely to commit suicide themselves (that’s just science), so if self-slaughter is on the table, do it before creating miniature self-replicas. It will save society from having to clean up the mess later.

This is a fair deal really. Masturbatory masochistic multi-taskers will not be (openly) judged, or called out for their disturbing, scary sexual fetish as long as they agree not to make babies. Both sides win, civilization gets a little help with its overpopulation problem and auto-erotic asphyxiophiliacs can hop in the crawlspace, pop a condom over both heads, and rub one out whenever the mood is right.

* stopreproducing.com wants to make it clear that we are not against masturbation, but actually in favor of it. Anything that ends up with sperm somewhere other than a woman’s birth canal is aces in our books.
