Im just curious if you think masturbating is morally wrong. I was having a discusion with my friend the other day and somehow the topic of mastubation being wrong came up. Now religiously speaking i have mixed feelings on this. I belive masturbation is OK as long as i simply clear my head of any shal we say erotic thoughts and let is just be a physical thing. My friend on the other hand thinks HEY everything is fine and will dream about whatever he wants when he does the deed. So im just curious what are your personal feelings on this and why exactly? Are you for or against it and if so is it on moral/religious grounds?
Well discuss and please once again no pictures or posts explaining in detail about your secret downlow handshake

some people like to twist words from said books to their own views
also it depends on what sect of Christianity you follow
the Romans, when they first became a christain state changed a shit load of stuff to fit their goals, for example in the middle ages it was considered a sin to expose ones body even to ones'self (yuck , people took baths at least once or twice a year at most )
i dont know much of what Protestants did though
but im Agnostic, so none of this bothers me 
No, it's not wrong. Few people my age can get pleasure any other way.
Personally, it's morally neutral for me. Not evil, not good.

Bloodsage had this to say about Jimmy Carter:
Isaac Asimov said there are two types of people: those who masturbate, and those who lie about not doing it.
True dat.
I think the whole thing about masturbation being morally wrong is another of those things like premarital sex.
The bible doesn't really say anything about premarital sex or masturbation, but the catholic church wanted to sell more indulgences in the dark ages so they made more "rules" and pointed to the one fable where a guy was punished by god for refusing to impregnate his brother's widow to back his accusations up.
Even if it did say anything along those lines, I got some rough news: The bible was written by humans. That's why it says "Leviticus 4:14" and "Job 3:16" and not "God 2:15". It was also translated from latin, re-copied by hand hundreds of thousands of times, and under the complete control of a corrupt aristocracy.
These people were no more invunlerable to corruption and deception than anyone else.

Actually, it does. A few places, in fact. And in every modern translation.

WTF?!
Anyway, it's such a silly thing to do or not do, that I don't think it matters much who considers it wrong or fine. I doubt we'll see any crusades railing against the sexual repression of the Christian church anytime soon.
No need to go against my logic, it is infallable. If by some strange loophole it IS proven wrong, all existence ceases to be.
So just don't try

This has nothing to do with the topic, but a girl once asked me, quote, "Do you think about me when you... you know... with your hand?"
Dude, that's where you're supposed to come in and say "Oh, I think about you sometimes"

I suspected as much, which is why I went on to explain why the bible has zero influence over me

From a religious sense, yes it is. Does the phrase "Thou shalt not spill thy seed." Come to mind? Some religions view sex and intercourse strictly as procreation of the race. To masturbate and "spill thy seed" is to go against what the religion dictates. And we all know how blasphemous that is in the eyes of the churchs and zealots / fanatics.
Personally I look at it this way, sometimes ya just got that urge and have to crank one out.
*coughs* Ya know.
and it depends on who's morals you're talking about.
Then again, I only masturbate so I can get those cool hairy palms the adults always told me about.
*pulls the string on the back of the Pikachu, and watches it vibrate*
I feel that it is safe to say that masturbation, if deemed evil, is by far the lesser of two evils.

Kalourin mentioned spill thy seed, but there are wet dreams. I find it odd that a god would create us to already do what he tells us not to without a choice. I mean some people believe in original sin, but I don't think this is what they mean.
However, I do believe the bible says something about not lusting. And masturbation is like the epitomy of lust. So if your a "nice christian lad" like you said you were in another thread, then I would think it'd be wrong. That's just my view on it, ask your pastor/priest/whatever if you really want to know/need to have someone else tell you.
It was "D," if I recall correctly.
