Masturbation's Good For You

[koshergrl]

Well, I don't really think that because people read an article, that they are suddenly going to become masturbation fiends. I don't think it changes anything. People are still going to do what they are going to do with their bodies. I think only people who have some kind of issue would really have to worry much about this type of thing.

Eh. I think you'd be surprised.

Most people masturbate anyway. However, if you tell them that it's not only nothing to be ashamed of, but something good for them, well... Let's just say that a lot of people are going to take that advice the wrong way.

Think about how people react to diet pills that promise that they "won't have to exercise." lol

The long and short of the matter is that people are stupid. It's also quite easy to get addicted to something that feels good and you like doing anyway.

Can become psychologically addicted to anything, even a glass of water. But if you become addicted to masturbating, compared to other addictions you could do a lot worse.

People who are "addicted" to masturbation are the most insane of the insane. Having worked with insane people, I guarantee you..the fruit loop that whacks off continually is the one that is in a straight jacket the most often, and spends the most time with no clothes or sheets in lockdown the most often, and is the most dangerous and unpredictable.

Having worked with PREDATORY SEX OFFENDERS I can promise you, excessive jacking off is not indicative of anything even remotely related to good mental health.

And when I look at the major players in that discussion, I know I'm right.

Hey!!! Are you calling me a pervert?!

Hey! Some of us don't have partners at the moment, so we do the best we can!

Seriously though, why can't this be a lighthearted thread. Why does it have to be about something nefarious? There certainly ARE health benefits to masturbation, and I am certainly not thinking about sexual predators, just everyday people. After all, EVERY ONE does it, whether they want to admit to it or not. Lol!

And if someone is looking at porn?

So what?

Move away from the window and stop being a Peeping Tom.

MYOB.

So now, those who masturbate are "insane PREDATORY SEX OFFENDERS who whack off continually".

You're the crazy one. You always are. Sickening is that you have come out in favor of 14y/o girls "marrying" adult men but you're against, of all things, healthy masturbation.

Calm down and MYOB.

And I haven't lost sight of the purpose of the thread..this thread was created as an offshoot of the meme that porn addiction is the same thing as masturbation, and therefore porn is just a natural, healthy sexual outlet for young men.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of porn, although I have seen it. I think most of it is way over the top ridiculousness. The acts, the positions, the sound effects - Good Grief! Most of it is really, really . . . stupid. I think people who get addicted or have problems with pornography are in the minority. I think most people view it in moderation and don't suffer from any bad consequences.

Important to remember that porn's been a part of the human condition from the beginning. Erotic drawings and paintings go all the way back to the earliest cave paintings. But there's only so many ways to show people having sex, so what I think repels many today (including myself, being a fan of classic-vintage era content) is the so-called gonzo genre. If you don't constantly get more and more outrageous, you're not doing anything that hasn't been seen already.

But just as there's good art, and lousy art, there's also good porn and bad porn. I like the older stuff referring to it at times as 'graphic lovemaking' more so than anything tawdry or cheap. Round about 1985 or so, porn went decidely downhill. But a lot was made from about 1920 onwards though most of our understanding of history is absent this material. Most people think of the 50s through the Happy Days/b&w Leave It To Beaver filter. I did as well until I started finding all the erotica made back then (having been looking for it hehe.) I'm still kinda surprised by it, certainly doesn't seem to fit the coat and tie depiction of the post-war era. But we've been maing porn all along. As we dug out Pompeii we found the brothels, and all the murals and paintings depicting what went on in them. And the Greeks were using dildoes way back then as well. Sex and our depiction and enjoyment of it isn't anything new.

What is new is society's attempt to suppress and demonize it. America has the dubious distinction of being amongst the most sexually-repressive cultures the world has ever seen.

Hmmm. How common is "common enough" though? It is probably people who suffer from sex addiction or something who would be doing this to excess. Not to mention, MOST people don't have time to sit around, watching pornography and masturbating all day!

Frankly, that's kind of the issue in the first place. It's a lot easier to get "addicted to sex" these days than it ever was in the past.

Like I said, I wouldn't say it's a problem most people have to deal with, anymore than most people have to deal with alcohol abuse or drug addiction. However, it is common enough that most people should at least be aware of it, and the risks it poses.

No such thing as sex addiction beyond how we can become addicted to anything psychologically. There's no physical addiction or dependence though which is what comes to mind typically when we think about addicition. Current science-fad of declaring people sex addicts is a cop-out at best (I'm not a drunk, I'm an alcoholic and have a disease, no, you're just a drunk,) and a deliberate attempt to further demonize pleasure and joy while the state glorifies violence and war.

I accidentally found this nutter site while researching pentecostal baptism. These people are frikken weird.

Does anyone remember their parents telling them that doing it would cause hair to grow on the palms of their hands.

And how come nobody says anything against girls/women doing it?

Still get to laughing when I see the fella who boasted after the last election that voting for Obama was more fun than jerking off but was more honest than most liberals and did it only once. With regret, of course.

I am totally lighthearted about this topic. I'm not that worried about people masturbating too much or watching pornography. As long as they are done in moderation, I think both are harmless and can even be beneficial.

I can agree with you that SOME pornography goes way too far though. As far as people masturbating too much, I think there are probably worse vices.

As do I, much of the porn produced from 1990 onwards is of the sort most anti-porn types are always yammering on about, and the stuff from about 2005 on is patently disgusting. Problem is though, if we ban some what's to prevent banning it all?

I've seen and agree with the defining of the 'Max Hardcore' stuff being declared obscene, it is. And it's less "sex" than "grotesque and vile interactions between two people." But just as pornography in general is the price we have to pay for free speech, bad porn is the price we must pay for porn in general.

I just wanted to make it clear to Koshergirl that I'm not talking about sexual predators but regular people. And I don't believe that masturbation/porn really have much to do with sex crimes. You are either a sexual predator or you are not. I don't think either porn or masturbation would turn a person into a sex offender. I think something like that is probably preexisting in a person. Perhaps the porn might make it worse, not sure.

Actually, you created to it perpetuate the myth that Mormon's are anti-masturbation, when in fact they are anti-porn addiction.

In other words, you created it to promote porn addiction as *healthy*.
