Well we did have a President brought up on charges for a drive-by shooting of an intern.
The reason I heard was that Onan was not only disobeying god, he also wanted to bang his SIL without fulfilling the get her pregnant order. So like he was taking advantage of her, but not giving her what she wanted.
Do you and your boss call it “Korean Gutter Talk”? Why are you focusing on the “same-same” part of the sentence, and ignoring that the poster called it Korean Gutter Talk. That is offensive. Right along with “White trash talk” and similar descriptions of expressions or dialect.
If another poster said, “In the words of white trailer trash: Onanism ain’t the same thang as jerkin your dick, ya’ll”. That would also be offensive.
Stop being so obtuse.
On deployment there is a prohibition against having pornography. General Order #1 prohibits pornography, drinking, gambling and all the other good things in life.
Do they really obey it or enforce it that hard? I can’t imagine that they don’t play craps and other card games for money, and I find it hard to believe that they don’t have some files encrypted and stashed away on laptops and the like.
Whether he wanted to bang her isn’t stated - it’s equally plausible that he wanted to look like he was doing what the custom required while making sure she still got chiselled out of her share of the estate.
Availing oneself of the whores is against the rules too, but sick bay gives out rubbers. At least they once did.
Well… there’s this:
Well, that’s one interpretation, but it’s fair to point out that the English word “Onanism” is derived from the other interpretation, that he masturbated before copulation so that he wouldn’t climax with her.
Oooh! An opportunity to use BOTH of my two favorite palindromes!!!

[li]War? I saw 'Nam. Man, was I raw![/li][li]No, son! Onanism’s a gross orgasm sin. A no-no, son![/li][/ul]
It boggles me that the human mind can come up with those—even short ones. I doubt I could ever do it, no matter how hard I tried.
In my little corner of the war they didn’t actively check. But someone will do something stupid to get caught. Like use government computers.
Our medics gave out condoms to keep the sleeping bags clean, at least in '86-92.
hmmm…are we referring to palindromes, or masturbation? 
(man, I love this place! )
Is an “Unfit For Military Service” discharge colored, like a Big Chicken Dinner ?
When I was in the Army, General Order #1 was “To take charge of this post and all government property in view” – I guess things have changed a little over the years – do they still have Stable Call ? ?
A Bad Conduct Discharge, like a Dishonorable Discharge, is only issued by order of a court-martial. Unfit for Military Duty is an administrative decision and may be a bar to a future enlistment, depending on if the particulars of the case no longer apply.
Sure, there’s seamen everywhere!
decorous applause
They’re two of my favorite palindromes, but if I am to accept applause I must hasten to clarify that I did not come up with them myself. I’m glad you enjoyed them!
I think I read both of them in this book: “Ana, Nab a Banana”.
Just got down to here and replied, sorry if someone has already said this.
Rubbers are now available on the quarterdeck(Point of exit/entry on naval ship). I have been to one port where you were required to take one as you were leaviing the ship(male or female). Sick bay still gives out no question penicillan shots.
And with all the description of life on subs, I have to say Carriers are the same. When the curtain is pulled, it is a force field, and there shall be no opening of the curtain from the outside. Walking through a 96 man berthing space about 15 minutes after the lights go out can be an interesting experience, what with all of the various sound effects.
