That article is interesting. I never know the body naturally produced any carcinogens.

Does the Focus on the Family Newsletter count as a peer reviewed journal?

How about MAD Magazine?

Reminds me of a Jeff Foxworthy joke: Him and his wife where trying to conceive, unsuccessfully. He was told that it easier to check the man, to see if his sperm count was high enough. His friend tells him, who had it done himself, that it's not bad. They give you a collection cup, put you in a room with x-rated movies and dirty mags. Soooo... He makes an appointment... continued.....

Gets to the doctor's office. The nurse calls him up, gives him a cup and sends him to the bathroom.. No movies, no dirty mags. He figures, what the heck, he's got a good imagination, so he does his thing in the cup, takes it back out front to the nurse. She looks at it, jaw drops, and exclaims, "Oh, no, Mr Foxworthy! we don't do that here! We just needed a urine sample!" His wife told everybody!

Masturbation is amoral - it's neither good, nor bad...I think, the world is over-populated enough as it is; the more people relieve themselves rather than each other, the better.

Brings up an interesting point. I usually think of masturbation as a solitary activity, but it can also mean stimulating another person with your hand, tongue (cunnilingus), mouth (fellatio) or a device such as a dildo or vibrator. Would all of those forms of masturbation be equally sinful or nonsinful?
