Masturbation is an Abomination

Dude...it sounds like you DESPERATELY need to get laid.

 

Where in the bible does it say you cannot masterbate?

 

Its stress relieving and puts me to sleep better than a sleeping pill. Best part is that I get my exercise in for the day.

 

You wont get an answer

 

Feels good to win once in a while.

 

Troll?

 

You have the best avatar I have ever seen! Gotta love FONV

 

Precisely. This is the same reason homosexuality is an abomination.

 

Nowhere. Because "masterbate" isn't a word.

 

There is a story in the Old Testament where a man named Onan's brother died and he was required by tradition to marry his brother's widow and have children with her to carry on his brother's leniage - but Onan would "pull out" when having sex to avoid having children, so God had him killed as punishment for disobedience. This is where the Biblical idea that sex is intended soley for procreation originates in some Christian denominations. "Onanism" is an outdated term for masturbation.

But belief that masturbation ior contraception is a sin is primarily a Catholic belief, not a widely held Protestant one.

 

Oops! Is there some medical trend that I'm not aware of? Are Catholic priests, monks, and others who live celebate lives been shown to be more prone to prostate cancer than the general population? Please enlighten me on this.

 

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree, being intimately familiar with both Catholic and Evangelical Christian culture. Masturbation is a sin, and though the story of Onan certainly highlights the iniquity of frustrating the life creating purpose of sex, more is also said in the New Testament regarding lust and adultery; that if a man lusts after a woman in his heart, it's a sin akin to adultery. The epistles also tell us that the body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, not to be profaned by sexual immorality. Though Protestants have fallen away from the belief that contraception is a sin, they're still largely in agreement that lust and masturbation is the wrong use of one's body.

 

I'm ok with this up to a point. A husband can most certainly lust after his own wife and that is not a sin. Lust for any other woman is a sin. Do not replace her with thoughts of another in the chambers.

 

I dont know of a single protestant that would agree with you. Many believe that masturbation is not wrong unless you are thinking about another woman or lusting while doing it. -biblically speaking-

If somone does not believe in God then your statement has no merit to them anyways because God then is no longer the definition of morality.

Also, if masturbation is unnatural, why do dogs hump random objects? Are they unnatural? Did they eat of the tree of good and evil also?

 

And anyone who would read that story and conclude that the moral of the story was don't jerk off is a dolt including the Pope. The story has a moral but that aint it.

I think it is. Did you ever stop to think that there are solid anthropological reasoning behind a lot of religious dogma?

Masturbation especially for men is a major cause of both physical and physiological problems. Especially masturbation to pornography.

Gentlemen if you want to have success with women you need to stop jerking it especially to porn. It desensitizes your dick and (*)(*)(*)(*)s up the chemical pathways that are supposed to activate when you are sexually stimulated.

 

Well than you are not all too familiar with the story of Onan. Which has absolutely nothing to do with masturbation. It has to do with some crazy jewish marriage law and pulling out and busting a nut outside the cootchie.

 

That varies by denomination - for example Dr. James Dobson is a very ardent evangelical Christian but he says he does not have a problem with masturbation. A lot of Protestant churches do however.

 

Actually I've heard the opposite, that it increases testosterone and improves sexual arousal. Most men in America do masturbate (the average is once every 1-2 days) and it hasn't been known to cause severe medical problems.

 

Cool. Got any other abominations I can try out?

 

that explains a lot. New glasses keep getting out of focus after two weeks

 

Are you truly so ignorant to honestly believe no Catholic priest, monk or other celibate people have ever masturbated before? ROFL

Do you have proof that they don't touch themselves at night? LOL! xD

By the way, did you know that prostatitis was once referred to as "monks disease"? Says a little something about that doesn't it?

 

On the contrary, I submit that it is a violation of the first commandment.

 

Indeed, I'd wager it's a rare priest or monk who doesn't find sexual release by some means. They operate on the now idiotic assumption (in light of knowledge of evolution, etc.) that humans should resist their own sexual urges, that it's somehow good to do this. For a species who, like all others, is the product of successful procreation over aeons, this idea is simply absurd.

 

How does the 1st commandment relate to sex between husband and wife?

 

It doesn't, necessarily. However, it definitely relates to lust, since whatever a man lusts after is an object of his worship.
