July 28

National Masturbation Day

In which countries, outside the United States, it is celebrated? CometVolcano (talk) 15:28, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

The clue is in the title. It's national not international. Shantavira|^{feed me} 15:49, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

It is also known as International Masturbation Day. --CometVolcano (talk) 15:50, 28 July 2024 (UTC)

I don't know if you can say this day is "celebrated". Masturbation itself is celebrated every day, year-round, worldwide. Very few people outside the US, and I suspect also in the US, will have heard of a day specifically designated as Masturbation Day.  --Lambiam 12:26, 29 July 2024 (UTC)

It would only make sense if it happened just one day per year. As with fireworks on July 4th. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 11:45, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

No fireworks on New Year's Eve? 82.13.6.9 (talk) 14:51, 30 July 2024 (UTC)

That's also once a year. ←Baseball Bugs ^{What's up, Doc?} carrots→ 17:19, 30 July 2024 (UTC)
