Many Christans and other religions say that if you masturbate, you wont go to heaven, etc.

Do you think that this sexual act is a way against christ?

no, i dont think its bad - why is it bad? its better than having sex!

i mean i think that is the dumbest thing ever

o and BTW i dont have any religius views

Well it's just a very dirty thing to do, and also kind of a sin considering if you go to church they just say "don't do it". It doesn't necessarily mean you're not going to go to heaven, I mean the religioin of Christianity says we can't all be perfect and I'm sure you could just repent or something for whacking off.

Its just downright stupid. While it may be considered wrong because its a worldly pleasure. But its biologically very hard to go without it for a very long time. the longer sperm stay in your testicles, the more likely they are to

A. Give you testicular cancer
B. Create mutations in the cell.

Your body somehow knows this, and tries to reid itself of these elderly sperm.

Hell No there aint nothing wrong with a pull every now and then

Masturbation is technically a sin. But like D_S mentioned, it can be forgiven and/or repented for, like most other sins.
The reasoning behind masturbation being sinful is that we are to use our reproductive organs for just that: reproduction. Sex for pleasure and masturbation are both considered 'misuses' of the reproductive organs, and thus sins.

Yeah, whatever church says that it can't be forgiven is just BS, but then you know as humans we can't help it, we have to whack ourselves off eventually.

Hell No there aint nothing wrong with a pull every now and then
You heard it from our residential follower of Christ.

But, then again, where again in the bible does it say "I shall not masterbate"? I dont think "masterbating" is the same as "cheating on your wife".

It's not on the ten commandments but it's still a sin because you're indulging in worldly pleasures.

one site explains it all. http://www.jackinworld.com They express "theories" on it.

So basically... anything that feels good is bad? Then why have we been made to feel some things as good if they are so sinful

But isn't that the reason for a wet dream?

And also, sperm only live 24-48 hours.

I am not clicking on that link.

It has no photos or anything on the main page.

Yea, that comic. But its not sick or shows naked people.

Some people probably don't wet dream for some reason, but you're right with the sperm not living for too long.

It's not a sin. Some people are just paranoid that their sons will turn gay or something, which is stupid.

If it is a sin, than about 95% of the world is going to hell.

Exactly.

yeah, since when is that a sin?

If it is a sin, than about 95% of the world is going to hell.
That's if they committed blasphemy or something.

So basically... anything that feels good is bad? Then why have we been made to feel some things as good if they are so sinful

To make life harder.

I'm 15...i can't have sex yet but i can get horny as hell...and so...instead of going to go F*ck someone i beat it. No big deal. And if i burn in hell...it was sooooooooooooo worth it. XD

Dude, that was good for a lot of laughs. A LOT of info. lolololROFLCOPTER!!!

But isn't that the reason for a wet dream?

And also, sperm only live 24-48 hours.Woops, I didn't see this. I'm fairly certain the reason for a wet dream Is just your hormones acting up. and sperm can live much longer than that, especailly in the place where they're made. They die when they run out of food, just like anything else in this world. which is in about 7 days, but thats when they dont have anything to "eat" aka semen.

Did I go too far?

To make life harder.Actually It has everything to do with the Christian religion. Such as in the "Lords Prayer" where you say, "Deliver us from temptation."

Wet dreams are also to relieve sexual tensions, so should we go to hell for something we can't control? Because it's almost the same as masturbation.

Thanks for the laugh; I nominate this post for post of the week.

No, not really. When you masturbate you intentionally give yourself pleasure while you're awake, but when you wet dream that's a totally diffrent story. I mean you're not awake and you totally do not know what's going on when you wet dream. The reason it's a sin is because you intentionally indulge in those pleasures.

That's going in my sig.

Now it's in his sig.

Why is everyone spelling masturbate wrong?

I never looked at it as a sin, because it is very healthy for the male body.
Females though-it's healthy, but not as much.
Are handjobs looked at the same way? Nevermind... dumb question.

there is nothing in the bible that "clearly" states masturbation is a sin. I promise, there is nothing wrong with http://www.jackinworld.com/. there are some links on there that talk about it.

That website actually helped me with ideas to use on my boyfriend :p

Is that too much information?

keep it in your pants

keep it in your pants

That's demanding

it was only a joke - do whaterer you want

EXEPT: be on the jerry springer episode "14 and pregnate"

keep it in your pants
Good luck backing that up, but if it's a joke....well that's different.

i want pictures platinum, i want pictures. no, jk. but it sort of was too much info

That website actually helped me with ideas to use on my boyfriend :p

Oh gawd, keep your pants on.

umm well, yes just a little, I'm sure he'll be very happy though

hopefully - unless he is gay and thinks your a man...

i find nothing wrong with it and seeing as i am a non believer i have not sinned in anyway.

i would just like to point out that the word 'masterbation' is spelt wrong. it should be spelt; ' masturbation'. but thats just me being picky


please note: i am a master-debater

Actually It has everything to do with the Christian religion. Such as in the "Lords Prayer" where you say, "Deliver us from temptation."
The "Lord's Prayer" was for the Jews, a long LONG time ago. It's no longer needed.

Do you think that this sexual act is a way against christ?
Lets look at it like this.

Orgasm or fairy tale land?

*Heaven

Orgasm. Definitely.

Orgasm. Definitely.
I agree
Unless heavan is one continuous orgasm for all eternity.
Then i'd choose that.

Since I'm an extreme atheist I honestly don't give a fvck (Hey, new latin-style spelling!). I'm free to do what I want without the constraints of religion.

mee 2 But I look at it like this,

Unless Jesus said "Do not masturbate" I don't think it's against him.

He said nothing of the sort, but hell there's nothing wrong with masturbating.

Unless it becomes an obsession.

I don't think there's anything wrong with it, it's actually supposed to be healthy, and a good way to relieve stress.

AS far as the against christ junk goes, why is it that everything that feels good is wrong? We should be able to enjoy life, as long as we don't hurt anyone what's the problem?

Not masturbating means that a man will be more likely to get prostate cancer, but so does doing it more than 5-6 times a week.

Speaking of masturbation, read the sex section of www.wired.com. The woman who writes most of the articles, Regina Lynn, not only has hand-carver ceramic dildos in her office, she also produces nuggets of wisdom like this:

Unfortunately, it's hard to feel sacred when you're trying to guide a dildo you can't see, attached to a pogo stick that keeps bonking you in the chin, into your vagina, all without dropping your vibrator or knocking yourself out.
Some questions are better left unasked.

I'm going to be smart and not visit that page...

Yeah...

It's weird having girls posting here.
Tho me and my best friend talk about it all the time.
And she's a chick.
But we're weeeeierdosss

Yeah...
What? It's mostly a technology site.

I'm taking no chances.

I thought it might be something bad too. But, I checked it, and it's ok.
*Think of something to contribute, think of something to contribute...*
I've got nothin'.

That's a place I'll avoid going to.

I went there, I couldn't see the article even when I did look, but it's really just a technology site like Paranoia said. Probably boring anyway, unless you understnd all that techno-geekery.

Here's the article. (NSFW)

www.wired.com/news/columns/0,70708-0.html

Oh no!! Don't click that link!!

It's common talk between me and everyone I know

Well, it is kind of weird to talk about masturbation in the first place. I mean the whole thing is a rather private matter.

Only if you make it so. I think people should be more open about themselves, and should talk about whatever they wish. To hell with the objectors!

Oh, and I clicked the link. Kinda boring actually; it never got to the point.
