THE rape of women and children in Mzansi has become a national crisis.
But Mashao Molepo said he has the solution to the problem.
He urged men to masturbate instead of forcing themselves on women.
The 45-year-old father of four, who is originally from Limpopo but now lives in Etwatwa, Ekurhuleni, said he was disgusted by men who rape. He said men knew how to sort themselves out.
“It’s pure insanity to spend years behind bars only because of pleasure that lasts a few minutes,” he said.
Mashoa told the SunTeam every time he heard about a rape, it filled him with rage. He said he was tempted to force himself on women when he was in his 20s but he masturbated instead.
“One night I was drunk and heard a knock at my door. It was a girl from my neighbourhood who I had a crush on but she constantly rejected me,” he said.
“She asked me to accompany her to her boyfriend’s house because she had a fight with her brother. I said I would on the condition that she slept with me. She agreed because she needed help.
“On the way, I realised I was wrong and I decided to masturbate when I got home. I felt good knowing I didn’t force myself on her and I was also able to get the same satisfaction she would have given me.”
Mashoa said there were other times when he masturbated after being tempted to take advantage of a woman.
“I want to reassure men that masturbation is the solution to end rape. Men need to stop raping our sisters and mothers because all we want as men is to ejaculate. We don’t need another person to help us. We don’t even have to pay for it,” he said.
To try and spread the word, Mashoa has written a book called Skomora Vision. He said his wife was supportive of his campaign.
“My wife supports me because she is not bothered when I masturbate. Women are beautiful but men need to realise we can’t have them all.
“Even when my wife is not in the mood for sex, I don’t force her. I just masturbate.”
