Flying Solo

The Great 13th-century Persian poet RUMI was asked once what to do about a young man caught masturbating. Rumi politely told them to mind their own fucking business. ‘It just means he’s growing his feathers. The dangerous case is a young man who doesn’t masturbate, who then leaves the nest without feathers. One flap and the cat(pussy) has him. Be careful.’- Source

In the spirit of Rumi’s wisdom, self-exploration can be seen as a natural and essential part of personal growth. Just as a fledgling bird needs to strengthen its wings before taking flight, individuals need moments of self-discovery to build confidence and self-awareness. Far from being something to judge or repress, this practice helps cultivate inner strength and resilience. The real danger lies not in self-pleasure but in denying one’s natural urges, which can lead to a lack of preparedness for life’s challenges. Embracing these moments allows for a deeper connection to oneself and fosters the freedom to navigate life with HaPenis and courage.
