I never said that. I said it is a vice. I believe masturbation, coupled with many, many other vices will land a person in hell. However, I also believe G-d is forgiving.
Yea I'm coming from a religious standpoint. It's like when Christians tell people that if they don't except Christ they're going to burn in hell. Well that's what a Christian believes, but to a non-Christian, that threat isn't so intimidating. So from a religious standpoint I believe it is...
I see that you are agnostic so I understand that. But for anyone who claims to follow a particular religion (in particular Christianity and Islam because I used specific examples from their scriptures to support my position earlier in the thread), they must see it is immoral. Now that doesn't...
Wow. You make me feel like my mother and I have a terrible relationship:sad4: A couple things though. Were you really aware of your sons' whereabouts 24/7? Secondly if your son has to beat his gf off with a stick I have news for you: that is a sign of a masturbation addict. Not saying he is but...
I'm 25 and I'm not uptight about it at all. I have masturbated before, however, as I try to gain a better understanding of the world and life, I realize that it is a vise. I'm just shocked that in a forum like this so many people think it's okay. I've smoked weed too but I'm not gonna defend the...
Yes it is! And there is a means to achieve this. It's called sexual intercourse. Making money is good too but there are different ways to do it. Some are good, some are bad. I think it is obvious that masturbation is unnecessary by the amount of people in the world who don't do it. If you don't...
How do you show thankfulness? Can one who accepts Christ and then acts immorally still expect this promise? Or can transgressions show a lack of gratefulness, thus nulling the promise?
This is a little different, as you said "during intercourse." The title of this thread is "Do Pictures of Nude People Lead to Immoral Behavior?" So the issue is looking at nude pictures, then masturbating. Having intercourse with your spouse is pretty much the complete opposite of that. Let me...
How do you really know? We all agreed that masturbation was a relatively private act. One could do it 5 or 6 times a day and no other human being would ever know.
Furthermore, is that why everyone on here masturbates? Fear of prostate cancer? The issue in this thread is the nude pictures! Do nude pictures remind you of prostate cancer?
Exercise is both natural and necessary. I'm exercising both my brain and my fingers as I type this response. It doesn't have to be going to the gym or sitting in your living room doing squat thrusts as you watch your favorite workout DVD.
Your body has a natural way of getting rid of semen if you are not married. Ever hear of wet dreams? It's ridiculous to think your prostate will explode if you don't masturbate everyday. Masturbation, like many other things can become an addiction. It's a "process" addiction as opposed to a...
Potentially, we could all be wrong. But to think you are not right contradicts what it means to believe. My beliefs could be wrong. But I don't think they are, otherwise I would not believe in them.
Also tolerance is so important. Regardless of what we believe we must respect what others...
I never claimed to be an expert on human psychology but I think if a child could see that they hurt someone, some type of feeling would come over them and I don't think it would be a good one.
Now there is an interesting point. However I don't think it really applies because when you...
