A certain amount of discretion should always be observed when talking about bodily functions or the fulfillment of bodily needs.
Take, for example, the need to expel waste. You don't casually bring up in a conversation: "Man, I just took the biggest dump," or "I love taking a piss, it's such a relief." The same goes for the fulfillment of other needs/urges (depending on your perspective) such as masturbation. It's one of those private things that you just keep to yourself. It's not pleasant to talk about, so people don't, and let's face it- the world is not 100% mature. People are often uncomfortable talking about sex, intimacy, what have you. It is partially for the sake of these people that you don't talk about these things, and partially because of cultural conditioning.
You can rage against society and culture all you want, but that won't change what is and will be for a long time. Maybe you're a non-conformist, but in this case, you basically do so to the exclusion of having non-extremist friends and normal relationships if you bring this sort of thing up a lot.
EDIT: For the record, recent statistics state that 96% of males do it. I don't know the female statistics, and I won't hazard a guess.

This post made me want to masturbate on your face.
This has become a terrible thread. Look at yourselves. What are you even talking about? So many posts and so little meaning. Shame on all of you.
