While we're on the subject of sandwiches, why does the average person in our society tolerate pornography from a moral perspective, and not prostitution? The pornography industry, after all, trades in sex, and as such, pays people to have sex, only it is more 'degrading' than prostitution because everybody else gets to watch.
Getting paid to masturbate is about as good as it gets. Imagine someone purchasing your time, let's say at the rate of about 33 cents a minute, and then simply spending that time -- this time which belongs to somebody else -- on pleasuring yourself. Employers of unskilled workers tend to fail to account for productivity lost to secretive masturbation, and this is why so many small businesses fail. The practice is even more rampant in the office, but the owners of these larger corporations tend to assume that their minions all suffer from irritable bowel syndrome. And maybe they do, but colour me sceptical that four out of five white collar workers deal with this condition. No, they are committing onanisms (to use a biblically friendly colloquialism) on somebody else's dime.
The chance of these people washing their hands is not great, but they are not the sort that tend to be guilty of noise pollution.
This public nuisance is caused by many things -- motorcycles, sporting events, political rallies -- but the underlying theme connecting all of these sources of unwanted din is a pent up frustration. Whether it is long standing anxiety regarding the inadequacy of one's social status, or even just a proclivity to being bitten by mosquitoes, the solution for these obnoxiously loud individuals is clear: find a job, and start masturbating there. As long as it's not in a pornography studio.
