LONDON (Reuters) - Hundreds of Britons are being urged to attend what is being branded as Europe's first "Masturbate-a-thon", a leading reproductive healthcare charity said on Friday.
Marie Stopes International, which is hosting the event with HIV/ AIDS charity the Terrence Higgins Trust, said it expected up to 200 people to attend the sponsored masturbation session in Clerkenwell, central London, on Saturday.
"It is a bit of a publicity stunt but we hope it will raise awareness," a Marie Stopes spokeswoman told Reuters.
"We want to get people talking about safer sex, masturbation and to lift taboos."
Participants, who have to be over 18, can bring any aids they need and can take part in four different rooms -- a comfort area, a mixed area, along with men and women only areas.

Interesting. I didn't know it meant "pollute with the hand". What a terrible word.
LordByronsays...It doesn't mean to pollute with the hand; it means to disturb with the hand. These pop scientists, Phd or no, are usually for the birds.
Manu stuprare means to defile with the hand, thus we have the word manustupration. Different, more critical interpretation of the act, and so less widely used by middle of the road folks like us.
