Masturbation

[Powerman]

Who thinks that this is a sin?

I think it's a good stress reliever personally.

And don't try to say you've never done it either. This isn't junior high.

How about urination?

Sometimes I feel like I have to do that, so I just go ahead and do it. I don't care if people think I am sinning. It happens about 5 times a day.

I feel the same way. I just wonder if people that think it's a sin actually feel bad about doing it.

99% of all men masturbate, the other 1% are liars.

They still teach that in basic training, do they?

Me too. Elimination of body fluids is essential, several times a day. Why deny yourself the pleasure of peeing.

If we didn't we would just blow up like water balloons. Both Christians and Atheists enjoy it.

Masturbation is not specifically mentioned in the Bible. However, lust is mentioned many times, always as being sinful. And masturbation is almost always accompanied by lustful thoughts, sexual fantasies, etc. So while masturbation may or may not be inherently sinful, the lust that accompanies it is, and so masturbation should be avoided as so not to lust.

 

[Mr. P]

.... and so masturbation should be avoided as so not to lust.

Putting the cart before the horse, aren't ya?

If that works for you, bravo. However in the modern world doctors have discovered that not "cleaning your tubes" by eliminating precious bodily fluids (Dr. Strangelove terminology) leads to all kinds of health problems. People who do not have sex age much more rapidly.

I file this Biblical recommendation under the same category as "don't eat pork and shellfish" i.e. dumb.

I'm just saying that because masturbation leads to lust, which is definitely a sin, then masturbation should be avoided.

In the modern world, as in the ancient world, your body has a great way of cleaning the pipes. It's called a nocturnal emmision, or wet dream. Or, if one is lucky, one has a wife who likes to get it on!

Haven't had a wet dream since teen years. Have a wife who fits that description!

Benefits of Sex

The following is a brief exploration of the benefits accrued from having sex on a regular basis.

Gain in energy:
Sex is a form of physical exercise. Sex three times a week burns lots of calories, and if maintained throughout the year, is equivalent to jogging 75 miles.

Increase in oxidation:
Sex increases the supply of oxygen to the cells and stimulates the activity of various organs and systems within the body.

Reduction of cholesterol:
Sex balances out the good cholesterol to bad cholesterol ratio, and at the same time reduces the overall cholesterol count in the body.

Pain relief:
Some studies indicate that sex may reduce headaches and joint pain.

Protection of the prostate gland:
Prostate gland-related disorders are known to be caused by or become worsened as a result of the secretions from the gland. Regular sexual activity eliminates these harmful secretions. However, a sudden change in the frequency of sex can also cause prostate-related disorders.

Stress relief:
The satisfaction and the relaxation after sex are beneficial for the mind and the circulatory system.

Marital bliss:
Love and affection can increase the level of oxytocin, a hormone that induces sexual desire. A higher level of oxytocin will increase the frequency of sexual encounters between the couple.

Physical energy:
Sex has an advantage, especially for women. Regular sex increases the level of female hormone, which reduces the risk of heart disease and softens the vaginal tract.

Hormonal increase:
Physical exercise, in whatever form, increases the level of the male hormone, testosterone, within the body. Experts say that this hormone strengthens the muscles and bones of the human body.

Hormonal supplementation:
During sex, DHEA is secreted throughout the body. During orgasms or just before ejaculation, the level of DHEA in the bloodstream is 5 times its normal level. This steroid secreted by the adrenal cortex is the major androgen precursor in females. It is also present in males. High levels of DHEA have been associated with longevity, enhanced libido, building muscle mass, and warding off depression.

The thought is the same as the deed. I guess it would depend on whether or not you were imagining your wife or someone else...

This statement is so far off from reality, but mainly it is important to mention I am not a Republican.
