From what we understand from the publicity deluge that's been flooding our inbox lately, the Masturbate-A-Thon is like a Walk-A-Thon fundraiser ... except that your legs won't get tired unless you're doing something really special. This year's wanktastic public event—and yes, it's a public event—features separate areas for participants and spectators, porn star appearancess, live webcam feeds, nervous journalists taking a walk on the wild side and more. It's held at San Francisco's Center for Sex and Culture this Saturday starting at 5 PM, with all proceeds going to the Center; on hand (literally!) will be porn stars and professional masturbators Nina Hartley, Michael Soldier, Tassy Pink (who'll be liveblogging it on her site) and Carmen Luvana. We plan on grabbing a snack and and playing the popcorn trick while watching the live feeds at Bondage.com and Nina.com. Find out more at the Masturbate-A-Thon site, which will explain what to expect . It's all rather fascinating
