“I would argue that masturbation is the human animal's most important adaptation. The very cornerstone of our technological civilization. Our hands evolved to grip tools, all right—including our own. You see, thinkers, inventors, and scientists are usually geeks, and geeks have a harder time getting laid than anyone. Without the built-in sexual release valve provided by masturbation, it's doubtful that early humans would have ever mastered the secrets of fire or discovered the wheel. And you can bet that Galileo, Newton, and Einstein never would have made their discoveries if they hadn't first been able to clear their heads by slapping the salami (or "knocking a few protons off the old hydrogen atom"). The same goes for Marie Curie. Before she discovered radium, you can be certain she first discovered the little man in the canoe.” - Ernest Cline

If this isn't a joke (which i think it is), you have a very skewed sense of scientists. If it is a joke, then carry on my dude.

Masturbation is an innovator. So many inventions go back to "because porn". Take current AI development for example, there's a massive drive because porn and porn has only one job.

"The little man in the canoe" might be the best one I've heard yet

Marie Curie had a husband though.

Had. And then she didn't. Their marriage only lasted nine years.
