From today's Tufts student paper:


Public masturbation a persistent problem at Tisch Library


Let this be a warning to you. Public masturbation is only appropriate during the Naked Quad Run.

How did I know I'd get blamed for this?

I'm not a perv.

PRO: A quiet academic library that's open to the public until 1am?!
CON: Public masturbation...

I'll have to think about this.

'For lack of definitive evidence, the police issued the suspect a trespasser warning and did not arrest him, Tilton said. "Unless we see or have clear and convincing evidence, we are not going to take that person into custody; we are going to give them a trespasser warning," Tilton said.'

Er, I don't want to think about what kind of "evidence" the police are waiting for.

Man, why don't I ever see anything fun when I'm at the library? The public humiliation of a public masturbator would really brighten my evening when I'm stuck there writing essays.

My favorite part was where the cops spoke with him, and "determined that he did not know that his behavior was offensive". Mmmm mmm, that's good police work.

He must have come in to read the Life of Diogenes of Sinope in Diogenes Laertius..."Would that the hunger in my belly could be satisfied so easily!"

Nah, Tisch's classics collection sucks. Props for the reference, though!

I'm having a hard time figuring out how someone could be aroused by a treatise on nanomaterial assembly.

Did you say nanomaterial assembly?

...I'll be in my bunk.

Harvard is very strict now about requiring an ID to get into pretty much all of their libraries, and extension students (who can be anybody that can afford a class) can't use Widener, only the Extension library. But they still tell us to be aware of what's going on around us in the stacks.

Dang. I've been looking for someplace relaxed and chill, yet in tune with my pseudo-intellectual character, to masturbate of an evening. The headline made me think that there was a society of lovable-rogue masturbators using the library for self-gratification. Instead it's just the usual One Creepy Guy. Boo!

am i evil for assuming this would be about students getting it off?

i'll admit, doing it in a library is one of my bigger fantasies

In my experience as a library drone, it's always unappealing nerds wanking and snuffling. So not hot.
