While listening to the Cyndi Lauper song "She Bop" a few days ago, after hearing the verse about going blind, I suddenly realized (for the first time ever) what the song was probably about. Considering that I've always liked the song, I'm surprised it never clicked for me before now.

Yet, I was 12 years old when the song came out. Even if I was able to decipher the song's words back then, I probably wasn't yet familiar with the saying about masturbation causing blindness. I'm not sure that I even knew a word for masturbation yet.
