Hi, Brian.
How do you say "mental masturbation" in your conlang?
In UTL it would be said "mentala masturbio", though having -at- as
passive suffix, I was wondering what could mean "masturbatio" in UNL.
It would mean literally "the action of being masturbated", but since
masturbate/masturbi is a reflexive verb (by definition) this would
make not much sense in a logical language like UTL. Btw, I could not
logically say "to masturbate another person" as masturbi is reflexive.
Btw, do you say in English "I masturbate" or "I masturbate myself"?
Well, as we have seen some problems may get aroused with the verb
masturbate if we let it reflexive, so I think it's better having it
defined as transitive and let no reflexive verbs in UTL. But how can
"masturbate" be transitive if its definition is "to provide oneself
sexual pleasure"?
I'm afraid this is becoming another mental masturbation...
