Masterbation?

[Jonathan Rex]

Nevermind, I probably can't ask this question. Don't need more warnings.

if it is a real question feel free to email me and i can ask it for you if i think it is appropriate. i do not have any warning points at this time

peace

if you are wondering why it is frowned upon, it is because it is extremely unhealthy. "the tao of health sex and longevity" or "the complete book of chinese health and healing" both by daniel reid. also you could search for sites on (taoist) semen retention to explain the benefits of not ejaculating, especially during masturbation.

I don't habeeb (believe) it. Sad, even I can make a book claiming ancient exotic cures for your ills

Are you trying to say that it is unhealthy to masturbate? That is what's being said here isn't it?

That is what he is trying to say... :areyoucra

I am new here. So I would like to ask, am I the only one who finds that preposterous?

Considering it's been put in Abrahamic Religions I'm sure there's got to be a religious twist to it. Otherwise why not put it in the sexuality section or in the Eros room? So, is it if masturbation is a sin? Are you looking for verses to verify that it's a sin?

 

[Draka]

I believe, considering the sub-forum this is in, that the question is referring to the view upon masturbation religiously. If there is another question concerning masturbation I believe it should really go in another sub-forum. Such as either the health or eros ones.

edit: sorry this seems to be what Moni Gail basically said. I was slow on the typing thing and was dealing with something else at the same time. I swear she had not posted that when I started. But I guess it's true what people say about great minds all the same.

yes, even small amounts of research will show you that it is unhealthy. if you take the time to read any recommended things in the post above you would see that. but i suppose making an uninformed condescending reply is good too.

You're kidding of course. Aren't you? I mean let's get real. You want real info then all you have to do is look it up and the facts don't lie. I can't believe I'm going to post this and I'm hoping you ARE kidding...but here:

3) Masturbation is bad for your health.

This myth originated with an anti-masturbation tract that was written in 1712 as a way to sell a bogus “tonic” that was supposed to stop the disease of “self-pollution”. Through the years there have been many colorful attempts to pathologize masturbation. They say it will make you go blind, it will give you acne, and it will grow hair on your palms. All claims that have been refuted by science. Today virtually all physicians and scholars agree that masturbation is harmless.

Your previous post is not correct. Ask a doctor.

It wasn't. Sorry :no:

 

[Draka]

Hey Mods, can this thread be moved to "the Social World" in "sexuality" or perhaps "health and healing"? The conversation would be better there.

So, can you please provide for me some real medical reports made within the last 10 years or so that demonstrates that masturbation is bad for one's health?
Having studied sexual psychology and biology for my job, everything I have read purports the exact opposite, and I would go so far as to say that it is more than beneficial for a healthy sex life.

 

[john313]

i see you have not read any of the suggested material. that is your choice. doctors are trained to diagnose and prescribe.

If I didn't masturbate, my head would explode (No pun intended.)
