Masturbation is not wrong!

The sin of Onan was to his unfullfilingness to his God, not his spilling of seed.
Masturnation glorifies god by exercising his temple (body) properly in the manner it was made to be used. sexual masturnbation is important for sexual and mental health and therefore benefits the temple (body) of God

Edit:

I put up the wrong webpage lol :banghead3 http://www.sexinchrist.com/masturbation.html

I disagree...

I also found much of the reasoning on the webpage proffered faulty...

So why would it be wrong for females? No seed spilled there.
Until fairly recently, i'm not sure it was considered to be possible for women to masterbate.

I thought that was part of the reasoning for female circumcision... shudder.

I was thinking more along the lines of the "myth of the female orgasm".


As historian Rachel Maines describes in her exhaustively researched if decidedly offbeat work, "The Technology of Orgasm: 'Hysteria,' the Vibrator, and Women's Sexual Satisfaction" (Johns Hopkins Press, 1999), the vibrator was developed to perfect and automate a function that doctors had long performed for their female patients: the relief of physical, emotional and sexual tension through external pelvic massage, culminating in orgasm.
For doctors, the routine had usually been tedious, with about as much erotic content as a Kenneth Starr document. "Most of them did it because they felt it was their duty," Dr. Maines said in an interview. "It wasn't sexual at all." The vibrator, she argues, made that job easy, quick and clean. With a vibrator in the office, a doctor could complete in seconds or minutes what had taken up to an hour through manual means. With a vibrator, a female patient suffering from any number of symptoms labeled "hysterical" or "neurasthenic" could be given relief -- or at least be pleased enough to guarantee her habitual patronage.

The body was made to be used for masturbation? Hmm... Learn something new everyday, I guess.

I don't believe there is anything wrong with masterbation as long as you are doing it for what its worth. No looking and lusting over a ????? while it's being done.

Some of us disagree with the proper manner our bodies are to be used for...

Your "if it feels good, then it glorifies God" ideal just does not work for me.... heck, all sin feels good... it is supposed to .... the pleasure from sinning is God's greatest gift to us (wrap your head around that one:D ).

Chastity (including not masturbating) includes an apprenticeship in self-mastery which is a training in human freedom. The alternative is clear: either man governs his passions and finds peace, or he lets himself be dominated by them and becomes unhappy. "Man's dignity therefore requires him to act out of conscious and free choice, as moved and drawn in a personal way from within, and not by blind impulses in himself or by mere external constraint. Man gains such dignity when, ridding himself of all slavery to the passions, he presses forward to his goal by freely choosing what is good and, by his diligence and skill, effectively secures for himself the means suited to this end."

Many people take drugs to "glorify" their mind and body... and it destroys them.

Many people develop eating disorders to "glorify" their mind and body ... and it destroys them.

Many people cut their flesh to "help" them cope.... it works for them, so it must "glorify" their mind and body and it destroys them.

You wanna give it a toss... boys and girls... be my guest... but please be honest and see it for what it is : the carnal animal in us, and not as some "divine" spiritual event.

Sheesh... guys will say anything just to be able to get off.... right ladies? :biglaugh:

Peace and love,
S

Masturbation might not be wrong, Lord Roghen, but it can be terrifying. You're alone, it's dark, you've no friends in sight, and if you call for help... who will answer? No wonder so many of us eschew it... at least on a public bus, I mean.

I don't know if I quite go for the "glorifiying god" thing, but I don't think there is anything inherently wrong with masturbation. I mean really. Can one person really give any valid reason that it shouldn't be done or causes harm to anyone? As long as the person is taking care of it themselves, they certainly aren't harming anyone else:p . If the only thing that says it is wrong is the interpretation of a passage written by some man ages ago who might or might not have been "inspired" to write such...then that really gives us nothing concrete. I say, let your fingers do the walking, your palm the talking, and have fun at the party for one;) :biglaugh:
