When I woke up today I never imagined I'd be reading a Heideggerean analysis of fapping before sundown. But now it's happened I have to say I enjoyed it. Now we need to synthesise this with our previous Heidegger-tinged discussion of work and address the question - is wanking work?
Puts me in mind of Diogenes who enjoyed both public defecation and the odd hand shandy in the public ágora. When challenged on pulling his plonker in public he famously said "Would that I could satisfy my hunger by rubbing my belly so!"
Truly an animal in every good (becoming) sense of the word, that wonderful Mr D. I would love to set up a bar fight between him and Nietzsche.
I think it does qualify as work, at least in a broad enough sense, and some people do get paid for it. That Diogenes anecdote is one of my favorite biographical bits from the history of philosophy
Presumably you know the one about when he was visited by Alexander the Great, master of the known world. "I can give you anything you desire, just name it!" said the world-monarch. "Sure, can you move a little bit to the left? You're blocking my sun."

Yes that one might be even better

ProTip for office life: fuck off to the movies at lunch at least once a month. Try to implicate others in this hooky.
