Is masterbation allowed? I'm trying to stop for about the fifth time.

Personally I'd say it's not allowed. However, from what I've heard it's almost impossible for males to avoid it (O che sciagura d'essere con coglioni!) so perhaps it would be unreasonable for me to kick you out for it. In any case, I wish you good luck in stopping it.

What language is that, and what does it mean?

Thanks for not kicking me out. I'll do my best to stop it.

It's Italian. It's a paraphrase from Candide by Voltaire. The actual line is from a castrato saying "What an affliction to be without testicles.". I changed it to "What an affliction to be *with* testicles.". At least I hope that's right--I don't know Italian.

I wish you the best of luck.

Thanks.

I actually read Candide over the summer, although I don't recall the line. I wonder why it was in Italian. Weirder still, my English teacher announced today that we're reading Candide this fall. Weird luck.
