And we all know we do it. Hell I do it at least twice a day hangs the Pathetic sign around his neck But am I taking the one handed ride to Hell? Most would argue yes.
Am I merely keeping myself from getting into more trouble (ie, STD’s, pregnancy, heartache, blueballs, etc.,)? Some would say yes. One would lose her job for it. You know who I’m talking about. Damned if my lack of proper information doesn’t make me sound like an idiot YET again.
Maybe the true answer is as simple as this…‘abstinence’ I can think of something, no someone, that doesn’t like the sound of that.
Perhaps I’ll stop rambling for now. Who’s to say you don’t think sex in general should be banished from the school systems, Television, and all media? Confined to close quarters and done sysytematically for the greater good/bad of society? Anyways…
Doesn’t it strike anyone else funny that a thread about masturbation was started by someone with the username The Gunslinger?
At least I’m not going to hell with the rest of you. Now that I’m divorced, I have sex on a regular basis.
Well, OK, maybe I am going to hell - just not on a masturbation charge
I wouldn’t worry about it sending you to hell. After all, do you wanna be the only person in heaven? I mean, I’d like to go to heaven, but I’d rather stay with my friends. Especially you guys of the SDMB. See ya’ll there!
They say that 80% of people confess to masturbation. The other 20% are just lying about it.
I think that’s a true statement. When did masturbation become such a taboo topic? Why is it considered such a bad thing? If we weren’t supposed to “feel” that good, why were we given the tools? (no pun intended)
Anyone who tells you they don’t is full of shit, or just too embarrassed to admit it. Girls, boys, men, women, whoever. Unless you have a medical condition that makes it impossible, you do it, you know you do it, we all do it, so what’s the big deal?
Besides, who knows the “right” place to rub you better than YOU??? Ever notice how you can spend an hour having sex, but you can get the job done in a minute or two with “Rosey Palm”??
Have fun with it. I don’t know of any biblical laws you’re breaking…
Yeah, what the hell (sorry about the pun) in the Bible proscribes masturbation? Onan got in trouble because God said, “IMPREGNATE THIS WOMAN!” and instead, Onan pulled out early. WTF does this have to do with masturbation?
IMHO, if our society wasn’t so torqued up about sex in general and self-pleasure (I hate to use a term that means “to defile with the hand”) in particular, I think we’d have a lot fewer teen pregnancies, STDs, etc. That is total opinion, I don’t have a cite, but come on (sorry again!), doesn’t it make sense?
