ironoxideman SG hello. serious topic pls. ----- well,nobody talks abt it openly and nobody wants to admit it but im quite sure many of us do it so this shld be of interest. according to the old testament masturbation is said to be wrong. 'thou shall not spill thy seed' see story of Onan (Genesis 38:8-11) . some people believe that this statement was made with political intent the ancient jews discouraged masturbation so as to ensure that their descendents would be plenty and the faith be passed down. of course,some choose to interprete this as 'not cumming into a woman is a sin'. while others may think that masturbation is a sin simply cos it makes pple feel bad . but isnt the guilt an effect of environmental conditioning? and then again,masturbation 'harms nobody' so some pple think it is perfectly alright. BUT shouldnt it occur to us that its not the act itself that is wrong, but the thoughts that go along with it? and lastly, the impulse is so damn strong, its just unnatural to suppress it. so what are ur thoughts on this,christian and non christians. some links: http://www.dmt123.com/mental-health/2019-dmt123-1.htmlhttp://members.optusnet.com.au/~austbua/basics.htm
SingaporeMacross SG Masturbation is intrinsically immoral because it goes against the procreative nature of marital sexual union. It serves only to satisfy oneself but not the spouse. This is against the spirit of love.
ironoxideman SG what if there is nobody to love? and sex isn't always about love.there can be love without sex.
SingaporeMacross SG sex is meant for love, in marriage. anything outside is contrary. of course you can have love without sex.
Herzog_Zwei SG Why bother to even love? Chop it off and end all sexuality and thus you will never sin in areas of sexuality gain.

Read up the threads below yeah? Can Christians m**turbate? Christians cannot have premarital sex? Can masturbation be a substitute for sex & marriage?
Herzog_Zwei SG How about do some bible study on the topic and post your findings and open it to discussions?
MohamedF SG Maybe its because masturbation can be addictive and over-masturbation is bad.... http://www.herballove.com/library/resource/overmas/fatal.asp
SingaporeMacross SG sexuality is not merely the usage of the organ, but one's way of thinking. is it any wonder that men and women think differently? what makes you think that castration will stop one from having perverse thoughts?
shade343 SG It is also against the spirit of love to force somebody of another religion to convert to his/her spouse's relligion.
shade343 SG What if you love thyself? You masturbate because you love thyself. By saying that masturbation is immoral, are you saying that loving thyself is immoral?
kaister SG Okie okie… is oral sex with your wife okie then? You don’t spill your seeds, it’s an act of love but it is however unnatural cos’ there’s no procreation?
