…so says Christian author Mack Major (that name just _sounds_ like it belongs to a Christian fulminator) > [@](#): > > Mack Major of Eden Decoded wrote on Facebook that “too many Christian women are losing their salvation because they masturbate.” > > “Dildos and all of those other sex toys have been used for thousands of years in demonic sex rituals,” he wrote. “It’s one of the main ways ancient pagan societies worshiped their demonic gods.” > > Major added: “There is nothing normal about it. And shame on any Christian that says so.” > > The Facebook post linked to a blog entry on the topic on the Eden Decoded website which warned that Satan used sex to “empower demonic entities.” > > He wrote: > “Many of you who are reading this have sex toys in your possession right now. And whether you want to accept it as fact or not: those sex toys are an open portal between the demonic realm and your own life. As long as you have those sex toys in your home, you have a doorway that can allow demons to not only access your life at will, but also to torment you, hinder and destroy certain parts of your life as it relates to sex and your relationships.” > > The post was an excerpt from Major’s book, “Diva, Goddess, Queen: Breaking The Power Of Soul Ties, Lust And Sexual Demons.” > **[Christian Author: Female Masturbation Is 'Direct Path To Satan'](https://www.huffpost.com/entry/mack-major-masturbation-satan_n_570c47cae4b01422324a02ee)** > > He also warns that dildos are used in "demonic sex rituals." I like that the page reporting this is illustrated with a collection of dildos, and helpfully follows it with a video of **Female Masturbation Techniques** ---

I’d like to know the context of this quote. Not that it would make it any less crazy. It would just be hilarious if this is the first thing this guy says to people he just meets. Like “Hi I’m Mack Major. Did you know dildos and all of those other sex toys have been used for thousands of years in demonic sex rituals. It’s one of the main ways ancient pagan societies worshiped their demonic gods. There is nothing normal about it. And shame on any Christian that says so. Ok bye.” ---

Um, Mack, about the “open portal to the demonic realm” you may want to rephrase it when talking female masturbation… ---

The fellow needs an invitation to the holiday described in this thread: > **[Size Matters at Willy Festival](https://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=789245)** > > Most places, in spring a young man’s fancy turns to love. But for the Japanese, bless them, thoughts turn to the annual Shinto Kanamara Matsuri, aka the Penis Festival, and not just young men’s thoughts either. Revelers in Kawasaki today (Sunday)... It has everything - including demon-possessed vaginas. 😃 ---

Masturbation is the route to Hell? I always thought dancing and rock n roll music was, especially when done together. ---
