Sorry if all that definitional discussion suggested a lack of specifics in
Dawkinsian memetics. I trust the subject at hand will straighten this out...

I wasn't trying to be mysterious. Those reading from the printed hard covers
of THOUGHT CONTAGION will see masturbation listed in the index as pages 3-4
and 90-91. Those reading from on line don't have page numbers, but can find
the first section (the one I was recommending in my earlier post) by
searching for "masturbation" at http://www.mcs.net/~aaron/tc1.html.
I hope this satisfies...
