Star Gazer Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 If it is, I know where I'm going when I pass...
norajane Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Some religions say it is. So, it depends on if you follow those religions. And if you believe in God in the first place.
oppath Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 According to the old testament, yes. If you masturbated, you'd have to shave your head, bath, and leave camp for 40 days. A nocturnal emission (wet dream) is also a sin. Of course, with Jesus, it is the new testament that matters (though some of the old is valid, right?). He was a man without sin. I'm curious if that means he never had a nocturnal emission. If not, was he truly a man? Or was his biology not functioning correctly?
Tony T Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Is masturbation a sin? No, it's not a sin, never will be. There's not enough room in hell to house all the masturbaters. However, it can cause repetitive motion injury. A person who masturbates often will develop carpal tunnel syndrome which can be painful when using a mouse and eventually require surgery. I think there are a lot of people in hell with carpal tunnel syndrome but I don't think they got it from jerking off. Ask them when you get there!
Havn_a_life Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 If you want that question answered honestly and without being made fun of, I'd take it to a religious site, whatever denomination you are, if you have one.
Trialbyfire Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Yes it is a sin. You are wasting precious seed. It's why a particular, high profile denomination refuses to condone birth control.
Moai Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Yes, it is a sin. Even 50 years ago it was seen as "dirty" and "perverse", and not just by Catholics. It is also a natural, healthy practice (when not done to injurous excess) that helps keep you happy. Studies have shown that masturbating releases powerful endorphins that are essential for mantal health. Stusies have also shown that regular orgasms keep the prostate healthy, and help prevent cancer. So ask yourself why god would make something so enjoyable and healthy a sin? Or maybe, just maybe, those who say it is a sin are just really wigged out about sex, and shouldn't be payed attention to. Also makes you wonder what else they say is totally wigged out and nonsensical, no?
Citizen Erased Posted October 10, 2007 Posted October 10, 2007 Even if it is, who cares? Does that stop the millions and millions of people who do it each day? I think not. Like someone else already said, there isn't enough room in hell for everyone who does it.
Trialbyfire Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 LS appears to have a number of Onanists who practice Onanism...
Art_Critic Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 If it is done right you betcha it is I think when we are young and learn to masturbate there is a good bit of guilt that comes along with the act.. Why ? i don't know.. my Mom always was very open about it.. but I still felt guilty when I was young..
Trialbyfire Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Does anyone wonder why so many people wear glasses/contacts or had lazik surgery, these days?
Citizen Erased Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 LS appears to have a number of Onanists who practice Onanism... Didn't Onan blow his load whilst having sex with his sister-in-law (oh it's okay GOD told him to do it) and God killed him for it?
Trialbyfire Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Didn't Onan blow his load whilst having sex with his sister-in-law (oh it's okay GOD told him to do it) and God killed him for it? It's 'cause he wasted good seed, instead of putting it to better use, so he was smoted, instead of smitten...
Art_Critic Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Does anyone wonder why so many people wear glasses/contacts or had lazik surgery, these days? My eyes are so bad that I can't have Lasik.. but I can still wear contacts I'm a pro.. As it seems.. ..
Trialbyfire Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 My eyes are so bad that I can't have Lasik.. but I can still wear contacts I'm a pro.. As it seems.. .. Haha...you took my punch line for when someone responded!! I was going to gauge their expertise by their presciption strength.
Citizen Erased Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 It's 'cause he wasted good seed, instead of putting it to better use, so he was smoted, instead of smitten... Pre-mature ejaculation is not a thing to be killed over
Art_Critic Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Haha...you took my punch line for when someone responded!! I was going to gauge their expertise by their presciption strength. Right eye -11.5 Left eye -10.5 Astigmatism in both eyes I'm a righty so that explains the right eye being worse than the left
Trialbyfire Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Pre-mature ejaculation is not a thing to be killed over Imagine lying there awaiting...it...then bam, it's over... I might be tempted to kill, depending on how frustrated I was...
Trialbyfire Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Right eye -11.5 Left eye -10.5 Astigmatism in both eyes I'm a righty so that explains the right eye being worse than the left Holy Dinah!! Astigmatism too? You've been a very busy man in your lifetime.
tanbark813 Posted October 11, 2007 Posted October 11, 2007 Right eye -11.5 Left eye -10.5 Astigmatism in both eyes I think that qualifies as legally blind. -6.0 in both eyes for The Bark.
