So even if philosophy is a masturbatory excercise (and isn't everything, when you break it down?) it serves the purpose of pleasing its participants. Useful, then. Can't ask much more than that.

Except philosphy isn't itself the masturbation(rewarding part), i think in this example philosophy is the porn. That is, it is the object, not the orgasm. For some people senior porn just doesn't cut it, just like for some people existentialism just doesn't cut it. I think for me personally, most porn is useless. It doesn't turn me on and some of it even disgusts me. I do have my preferences though and i don't think all porn is useless. For me most of it is though.
