Britain's first 'masturbate-a-thon' could be policed to stop demonstrators causing trouble, organisers said.
Saturday's controversial event is being filmed by Channel 4, as part of a series of shows dubbed W*** Week.
The masturbate-a-thon will see individuals raising money for charity by pleasuring themselves at a converted photographic studio in central London.
But the event, which is taking place with the involvement of sexual health agency Marie Stopes International, could attract protesters.
Marie Stopes spokesman Tony Kerridge said: "The police have offered their presence if we need it.
"We don't know yet whether there will be any protest but we have heard that there might be by MediaMarch (the evangelical group)."
Those involved are being asked to raise sponsorship for Marie Stopes and HIV charity the Terrence Higgins Trust.
Mr Kerridge added: "We've all seen the consequences of everyday penetrative unprotected sex in the form of unwanted pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections such as HIV Aids.
"For us, masturbation is a really important subject."
Organisers say around 70 people - some from Europe - have pledged to turn up at the venue, which has a capacity of 150.
Those taking part will have the option of wearing clothes "they feel hot or erotic in" and will be able to go into private booths, and male-only or female-only areas.
Around five people are aiming to break the masturbation record - eight-and-a-half hours for a man and six hours 20 minutes for a woman
