So gay people do not masturbate?

Or you describe your fantasies to the priest? ...

No, he has a tougher lecture to offer if the boy were gay. LOL.

On a serious note, confession is not an easy job. It takes a mental toll on the priests. They basically do what therapists are trained to do, but the latter collects money. Confession is basic recitation of sins. Some people recite for an hour. And the priest has to do it over and over. It's a tough job.

Because it's fun and, typically taking place behind closed doors, VERY hard for the current establishment, whatever that may be at the time, to control except via a Santa-Claus-esque "He sees you when you're sleeping, he knows when you're awake, he knows when you've played pocket pool and he'll damn your ass for its sake" threat.

You kind of don't know that. I originally said something personal, but decided what goes on there is maybe no one's business. Suffice to say if a guy's confessing to going solo I don't think the priest necessarily gets more upset if he's thinking of guys during the act. I'd assume it's the same with gals and women.

A lot of issues are like that. Gambling, texting while driving, trying to force people to vote during an election, etc. It's what inevitably makes the law fail; not because it's moral to masturbate, but because it's unfeasible to make people NOT do it.

Masturbation as a natural act turns truth on its head. People that smoke tobacco will quickly become addicted to nicotine and will find it "natural" to wake and smoke a cigarette first time every morning. It is important not to confuse "feels good" with normal or natural. Masturbation like smoking is not natural and is a form of self induced slavery.


The hand is a distinctive part of man, this is why the derivative of the word "man" in Latin is hand. Man's most valuable feature was never meant to be used for self inducing orgasms. Especially an act that so easily can become an acquired habit. This is such of waste of potential. This like buying a 747 and using it for a leaf blower. Sure it may blow the leafs into the next town and it even seems like it was meant to be a bad-ass leaf blower. But masturbating, like using a 747 as a garden tool makes a mockery out of the true use of the orgasm.

The pleasure of the orgasm is special- we can all agree on this. Why is this feeling so special? This special feelings has a vital and critical role of bringing people together in the conjugal act to create a person from love. It is the ultimate physical/sensual reward that ensures that people come together to create the next generation. The orgasm is an expression of life, it should not be misused to induce dead selfish pleasure. Conversely it is a true disorder to use/waste this gift to isolate oneself and dispense with the need for a partner.

Part of many religions is a self-mastery program, we all have the ability to gain mastery over our facilities; either we master ourselves or we will be a slave. Masturbation greatest sin is in the squandering of self control and loss of potential. The fruits of self mastery are the sweetest fruits of life.


The release of testosterone and semen induced in masturbation weakens man in every way. This is why when boxing trainers or sports coaches insist that their fighters/players don't masturbate before an event. It weakens a mans spirit, drains his power while limiting his potential.

If you had an enemy that you wanted to subvert a ideal way would be to bombard them with as much porno's possible to encourage masturbation. If your enemy falls for your trick you can be assured that they will be morally and physically weakened in many aspects of their life. Masturbation introduces self induced mental slavery and prepares them to lose at life. From their self mastery to their relationships with the other sex even their ability to summon aggression to protect themselves will be weakened by frequent masturbation. I would be very suspicious of the intentions of anyone trying to trick you into thinking that masturbation is a normal act.

The christian catechism really explains this well.
Was'nt there a study that proves that having sex before a boxing match weakens the person a myth? If it is addictive why does'nt EVERYONE still do it since it starts in the onset of puberty? What about "wet dreams" is'nt that a form of it also?

Masterbating is normal, healthy, natural, and enjoyable. I find nothing wrong or shameful about it. I don't feel guilty about it. Neither do my friends. We are human beings. We were made this way. We have sexual feelings. Why go against your nature or feel guilty about they way your body works?

Puberty? It even happens in the womb, they've said.
