A bit like this?
The song is a satire of Catholic teachings on reproduction that forbid masturbation and contraception by artificial means. The sketch, called "The Third World", is about a Catholic Yorkshire man played by Michael Palin, with his wife played by director Terry Jones. They have sixty-three children, who are about to be sold for scientific experimentation purposes because their parents can no longer afford to care for such a large family with the local mill being closed. When their children ask why they do not use contraception or sterilisation, or why the father does not perform self-castration, their father explains that this is against God's wishes, and breaks into song, the chorus of which is:
Every sperm is sacred,
Every sperm is great.
If a sperm is wasted,
God gets quite irate.
Not far from Yorkshire, 35 years later.
Mark Sergeant, a senior lecturer in psychology at Nottingham Trent University, told Metro that a masturbation break would be “very effective at work” and a “great way to relieve tension and stress”.
Psychologist and life coach Dr Cliff Arnall agreed. “I would expect a masturbation policy to result in more focus, less aggression, higher productivity, and more smiling,” he told Metro. “Certainly taking a masturbation break for boredom or an escape would increase work focus.”
First it's preposterous, then it's compulsory.
